Read MoreImportant properties of sinter for blast furnace process are reducibility, size and size distribution, cold and hot strength, and softening and melting behavior. Typical sinter suitable for blast furnace process is from 15 to 25 mm, as is illustrated in Figure 1.1.10 [22].Another important property is the disintegration of sinter in reduction, which occurs during the transformation of …
Read MoreProcess. Ore, limestone and carbon in the form of coke are put into the top of the blast furnace in layers.At the same time, hot air called "wind" is blown inside the furnace. Special nozzles called "tuyeres" are used to put the air in the furnace. The nozzles are at the bottom of the furnace. This process is called "blasting". It is why it is called a "blast furnace".

Read MoreThe blast furnace is made of steel plate as the furnace shell, and the lining of the refractory brick is built in the shell. ... This process is called reduction. The iron ore is refined by the reduction reaction, and the molten iron is released from the tap. The gangue, coke, and ash in the iron ore are combined with a flux such as a limestone ...
Read Morefurnace availability ranging between 95 98% are the results of improved process control, better - understanding of the process and stability of operations. Today the strategy of the ironmakers is to - extend the campaign life of Blast Furnace as much as possible so that the total relining is required at least after 14 15 yrs of operation.

Read MoreBREXes are characterized by sizes optimal for the blast furnace process (25-30 mm dia, 40-50 mm long), as well as favorably high cold and hot strength and reducibility. BREXes produced from the combination of steelmaking and blast furnace sludges (70%) and iron ore fines (30%) have been used in small blast furnaces of India quite
Read MoreWorks, which were constructed after the #3 blast furnace at the Kobe Works, increased by 1,000 m3. The Kakogawa #1 blast furnace, which led the way, was one of the first furnaces domestically to install a movable armor and the first domestically to install an in-furnace gas sampler, which served for the basic establishment of burden distribution
Read MoreThe process of starting a blast furnace after its construction or after its relining is called blowing-in. The blowing-in process is carried out in several steps (Fig 1) which consist of (i) drying out the lining, (ii) filling of the blast furnace with a specially arranged high coke blow-in furnace charge, (iii) igniting of the coke or lighting ...

Read MoreFigure 5 Process flow through No.5 Blast Furnace 5.4.2 Blast Furnace The Blast Furnace is a vertical shaft of circular cross-section and stands approximately 40 m high (although the overall facility approaches 100 m). The vessel is internally lined with cooling elements and refractory bricks and blocks.
Read MoreCombustion process. The iron in the processed ores must be dissolved out by chemical processes. This requires an element that binds oxygen more strongly than iron. This is exactly what carbon can do as a reducing agent.The carbon is fed to the blast furnace in the form of coke (pyrolyzed coal) from the coking plant.At sufficiently high temperatures, the carbon can …
