Ironmaking 101 – From Ore to Iron with Blast Furnaces
Iron is mainly extracted from hematite (Fe 2 O 3) and magnetite ores. Natural or direct shipping iron ores contain between 50-70% iron and can be fed directly into the blast furnace. Fe 3 O 4 decomposes when heated to ferrous oxide (FeO) and ferric oxide (Fe 2 O 3) via Fe 3 O 4 → FeO + Fe 2 O 3. A specialized type of coal, called hard coal ...

Iron Ore Pellets – IspatGuru
Iron Ore Pellets. Iron ore pellet is a type of agglomerated iron ore fines which has better tumbler index when compared with that of the parent iron ore. Iron ore pellets are widely used as a substitute of lump ore for the production of direct reduced iron (DRI) and in the blast furnace (BF) for the production of hot metal.

Modeling of iron ore reactions in blast furnace
Iron ore (pellet, sinter and lump ore) is gradually reduced to iron in blast furnace. The reductions are a serial of heterogeneous gas solid reactions that take place from the top of the furnace and throughout the shaft region of the furnace. Two major categories of iron ore reaction model had been developed and applied for modeling the …
