The integrated iron and steelmaking route involves blast furnace (BF) ironmaking followed by basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steelmaking. The BF uses sinter, pellets, and lump ore as iron-bearing raw materials, and coke and pulverized coal as fuel and reducing agents to produce hot metal with consistent quality for the BOF process.
A blast furnace (BF) is the dominant process for making iron in the world. The BF is charged with metallurgical coke and iron burden materials including iron ore pellets, sinter, and lump ore. While descending in the BF the charge materials reduce. The iron‐bearing materials should reduce fast and remain in the solid form until as high a …
Based on the stoichiometric method and the free energy minimization method, an ideal model for the reduction of iron oxides by carbon and hydrogen under blast furnace conditions was established, and the reduction efficiency and theoretical energy consumption of the all-carbon blast furnace and the hydrogen-rich blast furnace were …
To reduce CO 2 emissions, three major routes have been identified, including low-carbon blast furnace ironmaking, smelting reduction, and direct reduced iron with steel scrap recycling and electric arc furnaces (EAF) production [7].Currently, 70 % of metallic raw material input to the steelmaking industry is provided by iron ore, and the …
Iron is reduced in a blast furnace by reaction with gases (CO and H 2) produced by gasification of the solid fuel (partly or entirely coke, with some coal if the …

The use of coke with high reactivity in the ironmaking blast furnace (BF) has yet to be explored, and a thorough understanding is still required to clarify the effect of coke reactivity on the BF gas utilization …
Blast furnaces are charged with iron ores in the form of pellets, sinter and/or lump ore and metallurgical coke in separate layers from the top of the furnace. While descending, the ferrous burden materials encounter different kinds of reactions and phenomena inside the blast furnace, including reduction reactions, softening and …
The ironmaking blast furnace (BF) is a very energy-intensive metallurgical process and the prime route for steel production, from which about 70% of the world's steel consumption is produced ( Geerdes et al., 2015 ).
