Blast Furnace (BF)
In a blast furnace (BF), iron ores are processed into molten iron through a smelting process.applications.
Market Needs
Maintaining appropriate slag properties, such as basicity, viscosity, and fluidity, is necessary for the ease of slag removal and protecting refractory.
Solutions
Limestone
- A readily available and economical choice of fluxing agent
- When burnt in the furnace, it removes impurities, such as silica, alumina, iron oxide and sulfur, from the iron
- Generate slag with the proper property that helps reduce erosion of refractory
