Before iron ore can be used, oxygen must be removed from it. Known as 'reducing', this can be done either in the blast furnace, where hot air is injected into a continuous feed of coke, sinter and lime, or by the direct reduced iron (DRI) process. The result from both is liquid iron, which is then transported to the basic oxygen furnace. The blast furnace process also produces two ...

Iron Making: Smelting. The blast furnace was where the smelting process was started. NPS Photo / Elizabeth Thakkar. In 1646, the original blast furnace roared to life, lit with a 3000 degree fire that was kept burning 24 hours a day for months at a time. The blast furnace is where bog ore was smelted to create cast iron "pig" bars, so named ...

The document describes the process of forming iron and steel using a blast furnace. It involves the following key steps: 1. Sinter is added to the top of the blast furnace. Air is blasted into the bottom to fuel reactions that melt the iron out of the sinter. 2. Molten iron collects at the bottom of the furnace and is tapped out periodically.
