Iron processing - Smelting, Refining, Alloying: The primary objective of iron making is to release iron from chemical combination with oxygen, and, since the blast furnace is much the most efficient process, it receives the most attention here. Alternative methods known as direct reduction are used in over a score of countries, but less than 5 percent of iron …

With this in mind, here are the 6 steps to modern steel production explained. Step 1 – The iron making process. As iron is the main component of steel it firstly needs to be made. Iron ore, lime, and coke are placed into a blast furnace and melted. The resulting liquid known as molten iron is then formed.

A mixture or burden of iron ore, limestone flux and coal is heated in a blast furnace to produce molten iron, or pig iron, from which steel is made. Emerging ironmaking processes such as smelting reduction and direct iron plants are not as widely used, but their adoption is expanding as the technology improves and environmental concerns grow.

The first step in the production of steel or cast iron alloys is the reduction of iron ore, which contains iron oxide and gangue or mineral impurities, to unrefined hot metal or pig iron. The blast furnace is currently the key tool for ironmaking.

Iron ore, as mined, is a combination of iron with oxygen and various other unwanted substances, generally known as "gangue". The first metallurgical step is to reduce iron ore to metallic iron, a process which is mostly carried out in a blast furnace, using coke as both a fuel and reducing agent.

Hydrogen is a very good reducing agent to make steel from iron ore (integrated production route). ... The presence of hydrogen reduces the pressure drop of gas flow through the coke/ore burden or, alternatively, the upward force opposing the burden descent because hydrogen is a lighter and less viscous gas. Hydrogen as a …

These processes operate with different feedstocks. The BF-BOF pathway converts raw iron ore to pig iron and then to steel HM – while EAF converts both steel scrap and sponge iron to steel HM. DRI converts raw iron ore to sponge iron, a porous, permeable, and highly reactive product that requires treatment with EAF before selling to …

Given the huge quantities of steel produced, it is fortunate that the material is easy to recycle. In fact, many of Canada's steel plants make steel totally from scrap. Despite Canada's formidable reserves of iron ore, the steel industry in recent decades has shrunk significantly as industrial markets have become increasingly globalized.

A blast furnace is a gigantic, steel stack lined with refractory brick where the concentrated iron ore, coke, and limestone are dumped from the top, and a blast of hot air is blown into the bottom. All the three ingredients are crushed into small round pieces and mixed and put on a hopper which controls the input.
