The tuyere injection of iron ore fines could achieve various advantages to the ironmaking blast furnace represented in lower top charging of pellets and sinter, more flexibility in controlling the raceway flame temperature and hot metal quality, utilization of low quality iron ore and possibility of higher productivity (Naito et al. 2006). On ...
Hot metal and crude steel production. Steel is mainly produced via two different process routes: the path from "iron ore to steel" and the path from "scrap to steel". With the iron-ore based route, hot metal is mostly produced from iron oxide ores in blast furnaces, and more rarely in smelting reduction plants, and is processed to make ...

In 2022, global crude steel production reached 1,885,738 million tons, marking increase of 0.2 % compared to 2020 [1].Basicity oxygen furnace (BOF) slag and blast furnace slag (BFS), as prominent solid wastes in the steel industry, have seen rising emissions, which negatively affects the development of the steel …
Granulated Blast Furnace Slag. Granulated blast furnace slag is a glassy granular material that varies, depending on the chemical composition and method of production, from a coarse, popcornlike friable structure greater than 4.75 mm (No. 4 sieve) in diameter to dense, sand-size grains passing a 4.75 mm (No. 4) sieve.

Iron, when extracted from iron ore such as haematite containing iron (III) oxide, Fe2O3, in a blast furnace is called iron extraction blast furnace metallurgy. In this reduction reaction, oxygen is removed from the iron (III) oxide to leave behind iron. Generally, the extraction of metals and their isolation are based on three major procedures.
