Blast furnace waste gas is mainly nitrogen because nitrogen makes up about 78% of the atmosphere and is used as the primary gas for the blast furnace process. During the process, the injected air reacts with the fuel and iron ore to form nitrogen-rich waste gas.

What is the waste gas produced in the blast furnace?

The waste gas produced in the blast furnace is primarily carbon dioxide (CO2) along with other gases such as carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and nitrogen oxides (NOx).

What is the waste gas in the Blast Furnace used for?

It is mostly carbon monoxide and nitrogen gases which has some heating value. So it is typically recovered and mixed with natural gas, &/or coke oven gas and used in boilers for steam or other steel heating furnaces for further processing of steel.

Does iron ore slag sink to the bottom of the blast furnace?

Slag is the waste which is skimmed off the top of the molten iron that comes out of the blast furnace. It is a mixture of calcium and magnesium compounds, plus other impurities such as iron oxide, but is mainly calcium silicate. The formula for calcium silicate is CaSiO3.


Can the slag on a blast furnace be used in concrete or cement?

Slag from a blast furnace is usually ground down and used as a cement substitute as it is re-use of a waste product - it is not used on its own in concrete as the chemical reaction will not produce the same strength as proper cement.


What is pool iron scrap?

Basically it is from Blast furnace where in which liquid steel is made prior to arriving at the other (BOF) Basic Oxygen Furnace, and obviously needs to reach a certain Heat to the pull across. It is waste generated during process of melting of steel (by means of spillage while discharging from blast furnace).


What is made in a blast furnace?

Several things come out of blast furnaces. They are listed here: 1) A molten version of whatever material was put in it to begin with, 2) Incredible heat, 3) Powerfull light, 4) A waste gas and usually some slag remnant of the fuel that powers the furnace.


What can blast furnace waste slag be used for?

its used a fuel , but has less calorific value as the carbon monoxide percentage is less which is the main combustible gas in the b.f gas. its used in heating the blast of hot air in the blast furnance itself and also can be used in rolling mill, sinter plant, and many more where you need heating


Why can we inhale nitrogen?

Like oxygen, we can also inhale nitrogen. Nitrogen is beneficial for health unless it's liquid nitrogen. Nitrogen helps us dissolve food waste to prevent deadly diseases from forming. The air we're breathing is mainly oxygen but sometimes we're inhaling nitrogen.


Why does natural gas furnace have water waste?

It is not waste. The furnace has extracted the majority of the heat through the combustion process to the point of "condensation". Condensation= H2O. lc


How much nitrogen is in human urine?

On average, human urine contains about 7 grams of nitrogen per liter. Nitrogen in urine is mainly in the form of urea, a waste product of protein metabolism. The amount of nitrogen in urine can vary depending on factors like diet and hydration status.
