ادامه مطلبThe extraction of iron from its ores is quite a technical process. The iron ore is first roasted in air to produce iron(III) oxide which is mixed with coke and limestone and then further heated to a very high temperature in a blast furnace. These materials are loaded into the blast furnace from the top while a blast of hot air is introduced into it from beneath via small pipes known as tuyeres.

We recommend that you begin by screening the iron ore to separate fine particles below the crusher's CSS before the crushing stage. A static screen is used to divert the fine particles for crushing.
ادامه مطلبThe Step-by-Step Process of Producing Iron from Iron Ore. Some 3000-4000 years ago, the ancient Egyptians derived iron from the fallen meteorites (or so they say), carved them and made tools and equipment besides jewelry. We have come a long way since then. Now, first of all, pure iron is rarely available (except if one or two meteorites crash).
ادامه مطلبThe first step in the steel manufacture begins at the blast furnace. To separate iron from iron ore coke (substance when gas is taken out of coal), limestone and dolomite are charged into the blast furnace. Temperature raised to 1600oF. This high temp causes the coke to burn and melt the iron. This red hot iron drained at an opening at the base of the furnace.
