اقرأ أكثرBlast Furnace. Blasts furnaces are used for smelting during the production of metals such as iron, lead, zinc, and copper. A blast furnace works by blasting hot air up through the furnace while fuels, limestone, and ore move continuously through the top of the furnace. The method used in blast furnaces have been used since the 1500's.
اقرأ أكثرWhat is left is iron. The blast furnace's height lets the rising gases preheat the ore and gives the iron more distance to descend as it softens – so it absorbs more carbon from the fuel. Because iron's melting point falls as its carbon content rises, the iron becomes fully molten. A calcium-based "flux," usually limestone, is added.
