Understanding Ironmaking in Blast Furnace and Dissection studies in Japan The blast furnace (BF) ironmaking is the most viable means of producing hot metal (HM) mainly due to its well established and proven performance, flexible raw material usage, and high thermal energy conservation capability. There are no definitive dates available for the inception of BF …
Read MoreFormation of Scaffold in Blast Furnace Shaft The term scaffold is used when there is accretion or scab formation on the blast furnace (BF) wall which causes a decrease in the cross sectional area of the shaft of the BF. Scaffold can occur relatively at the higher level of the BF shaft or relatively low …
Read MoreEffect of Alkalis on Ironmaking Process in a Blast Furnace One of the main objectives during the operation of a blast furnace (BF) is to maximize the production of hot metal (HM) of the desired chemical composition at the minimum costs. This needs a high quality of a raw material base and a regular, smooth …
