The blast furnace remains the cornerstone of high‐volume ironmaking, utilising complex thermal and chemical reactions to reduce iron oxides into molten iron. Contemporary operations place increasing ...

Blast furnace coal injection is a critical aspect of modern ironmaking, where pulverised coal is introduced into a blast furnace to serve both as a fuel and a reducing agent. This process is ...

The company’s announcement said Algoma steel is now producing steel exclusively through its EAF steelmaking. The new steel is ...

With a staff of over 80,000, Ukraine-headquartered Metinvest is a major name in end-to-end steel production. Looking to improve the efficiency of its blast furnaces — reducing fuel consumption by ...

Blast furnaces are the heart of the steel industry, transforming raw materials into molten iron, which is then converted into steel. This process is a marvel of engineering and chemistry, rooted in ...

Blast furnaces are an indispensable part of the iron industry. After iron ore is mined, it goes directly to the furnace to be smelted, or refined. But blast furnaces produce an incredible amount of ...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom say they have designed an adaptation for existing iron and steel blast furnaces that could reduce carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions by ...

Into the Armco Steel Corp. plant at Houston this week rolled three carloads of iron smelted by a radical new process. Developed by a Hungarian-born inventor, Julius Madaras, and financed by Oilman ...

The process of ironmaking has relied for centuries on iron ore, an impure form of iron oxide, slowly being reduced to iron by carbon monoxide in a furnace. Whether that furnace is the charcoal fire of ...
