What raw material are put into a blast furnace?
The blast furnace is a huge, steel stack lined with refractory brick, where iron ore, coke and limestone are dumped into the top, and preheated air is blown into the bottom. The raw materials require 6 to 8 hours to descend to the bottom of the furnace where they become the final product of liquid slag and liquid iron.
Where was the blast furnace invented?
china
How High Is A Blast Furnace?

How is iron refined?
Iron is refined by a blast furnace. A furnace is filled with iron ore, coke (which is charcoal made from coal) and limestone. Huge amounts of air are blasted into the furnace, the calcium from the limestone combines with silicates (which are minerals containing silicon and oxygen) to form slag (which is run off ore from the furnace). A layer of liquid iron collects under the slag, at the bottom of the furnace. The liquid iron is periodically let out to cool. Charlie

How does the blast furnace maintain the heat?
The blast furnace maintains heat through the combustion of coke (a type of coal) with hot air blown in at the bottom. This creates a high temperature that allows the iron ore to melt and collect at the bottom of the furnace. The heat is further sustained by the chemical reactions occurring within the furnace.
Where does molten iron go in a blast furnace?
Molten iron sinks to the bottom of the blast furnace due to its higher density compared to the other materials. It is tapped from the furnace and cast into molds to solidify into various shapes for further processing.
What is the German word for blast furnace?

When was Govăjdia Blast Furnace created?
Govăjdia Blast Furnace was created in 1810.
Why is blast furnace tapered from its bottom?
I would imagine so that it provides a wider base of support for stability and also to create vaccuum to generate more heat. An opening too large will end up with turbulence rather than vaccuum. Any replies to szymkow@bigpond.com
What Is A Blast Furnace?
