How much coke is needed for a ton of iron
Iron ore in blast furnace, mainly iron and oxygen compound. At high temperature, the carbon monoxide produced in the coke and the carbon dioxide in the injection and the carbon monoxide generated by the carbon capture the oxygen in the iron ore, which is called the reduction. The iron ore is used to produce pig iron by reduction reaction. The gangue in the iron ore, the ash in the coke and the spraying material and the flux of the limestone in the furnace are combined to generate the slag, and the slag is discharged from the taphole and the slag outlet respectively. The gas is derived from the top of the furnace, which is used as industrial gas after dust removal. Modern blast furnace can also use the top of the high pressure, with the export part of the gas power generation.
Blast furnace production is continuous. A generation of blast furnace (from start-up to overhaul shutdown of generation) to continuous production of more than ten years. The production, from the top (usually roof is composed by Bell and hopper of modern blast furnace is the valve bell and bell less top) constant load of iron ore, coke, flux, from the lower part of blast furnace tuyere blowing hot air (1000 to 1300 degrees Celsius), sprayed into the oil, coal or natural gas. Fuel
1 tons of iron: iron ore + + coke 340kg + pulverized coal injection 130kg,The process of extracting iron from iron containing minerals, mainly iron oxides, is mainly composed of blast furnace, direct reduction, smelting reduction and plasma method. From the perspective of ironmaking is metallurgy, iron rust, inverse behavior gradually mineralized, simple, pure iron reduction from iron compounds. Pure iron is not common in actual production. More iron carbon alloy.
