The conversion of iron ore to molten iron takes place in the blast furnace.
Output
Full Code
MAN0103225
Module Type
E-learning
Description
The materials discharged from the Blast Furnace, or outputs as we call them, are hot metal at 1,803 K (1,530°C), about 300 kg molten slag per tonne hot metal, and dust-bearing exhaust gas discharged from the furnace top. In this module A description of the output of the Blast Furnace product will be presented like hot metal, slag and gas. The different phases of steel will be explained. Then, the composition of slag will be treated.
Finally, the kinetic of iron ore reduction will be explained in detail from Hematite up to obtain Metallic Iron.
What you will learn
- Label the different outputs of the Blast Furnace;
- Describe the phases of hot metal and the different stages of slag;
- Explain the thermodynamics and reaction kinetics of the iron ore reduction.
