Refining process that occurs in a blast furnace?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The refining process is actually a REDUCTION process.

The iron ore ( oxidised iron ) is reduced in the Blast Furnace to IRON.

Three substances are mixed and added to the Blast Furnace.

They are Iron Ore (Iron(III) Oxide ; Fe2O3)

Coke (Carbon ; C)

Limestone ( Calcium carbonate ; CaCO3)

A Blast of Hot Air is sent in from the bottom (O2)

The heat makes the limestone decompose to calcium oxide(CaO) and carbon dioxide(CO2)

The Carbon then reacts with the carbon dioxide and also the air to form carbon monoxide.

CO2 + C = 2CO & "C + O2 = 2CO (4CO)

It is the Carbon Monoxide (CO) that reacts with iron ore to form iron. as carbon monoxide is a powerful reducing agent.

2Fe2O3 + 4CO = 4Fe + 4CO2 (Not Balanced)

As a secondary reaction the calcium oxide reacts with the impurities in the iron oxide (viz. sand ; SiO2) to form 'slag' (calcium silicate) .

CaO + SiO2 = CaSiO3 (slag).

Calcium silicate is used top make road surfaces, and 'breeze' blocks for building.

The iron that is collected is still impure, and whilst liquid hot, is placed in a BOS plant with an oxygen lance, to oxidise any remaining impurities, viz. sulphur, (to sulphur dioxide) and phosphorus(to Phosphorus oxide). The carbon impurity ( to carbon dioxide) is controlled at this stage in order to make steel , which contains about 0.1% to 2% carbon , depending on the nature of the steel.

Where can you find old manuals?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hi,

It depends on what you're seeking. There are plenty of sites on the 'net that provide schematics. Use Google, and type what you're looking for in quotation marks. For instance: "Sony+KV1710". Brand first, then model number. I find schematics for quite a few items, but sometimes, you have to dig a bit.

Hope this helps,

How do you make a lever for the broken furnace in Pokepark?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When you enter the Lava Zone, there is a strange machine before you. Run into it, then it comes to life. So now when you dash into it, a chunk of gold or iron comes out pick it up and go to the other side or the map. Get the darker piece instead of gold. You see another wierd thing go to that porthole and you press 2 to check then make an iron bar then walk back to the lever and put it in dash to it then you can go to the shortcut. There is also another attraction with Rhyperior. Be sure to befriend all the Pokemon that can spin like a top (Hitmontop or others no Baltoy yet).

How do you clean a chimney with a cleaning brush?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First you should cover the opening tightly if the fireplace has no doors. With a help of plastic, cover the opening. Climb to the roof using a ladder. Remove the chimney cover with the help of pliers, screwdrivers and tin snips. Once you remove the cover, check inside how much cleaning is required. Use a flash light to see inside if its dark. Lower the brush down the hole and try to brush off all the nasty soot buildups inside. Once brushing is over, check if everything is removed. If cleaning is still required do it repeately until is cleaned properly. Once done, return the chimney cover and then climb down the ladder slowly and safely.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I'll name a few places you can find them:

- Lumbridge, just follow the road east of the castle

- Edgeville, pretty much near the bank.

- Falador, near the teleport spot.

Those are the major ones that are easy to come by, there are a lot more, but these ones are within range of a bank, except lumbridge which is a small walk compared to the others listed.

What tape sticks better scotch tape or masking tape?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Masking tape is a paper product (usually tan color) with adhesive that makes it easily removable. It's a temporary tape. Most people put masking tape on window seals and around door frames (and many other places) when painting a room. Duct tape is made with a plastic coating (usually silver color); it has a very strong adhesive and is meant to be permanent. It's a little hard to remove and it leaves a lot of adhesive on the surface when you remove it.
