Description
Iron ore is found in earth’s crust as an ore. Iron is mostly found as Fe2O3 (the form of iron oxide found as mineral hematite). This is one of the principal elements used in Blast Furnace to produce Iron.
The raw material used to the manufacture of hot metal requires 6 to 8 hours to descend from the top to the bottom to become liquid iron and slag. In this module The different raw material input is introduced. Then, the preparation of different kind of feed like sinter, pellet, lump ore and coke is presented.
Finally, the explanation of Top-Gas and Stoves for Air Pre-Heating is showed.
