History and evolurtion
![Page 8: Iron Making](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062401/577cce1f1a28ab9e788d5f04/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What is Iron making?
• Winning of Iron metal from its Ores.
• Smelting reduction of Oxide ores with Carbon as a reducing agent.
![Page 9: Iron Making](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062401/577cce1f1a28ab9e788d5f04/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Reduction of Iron• Reduced from Ore in two ways.
• In Solid State- Mixed with slag and impurities such as Silica and Alumina and residual carbon (Puddle Iron with Charcoal as reducing agent / Sponge Iron with Coke breeze as reducing agent) – generally classified as Direct reduction and
• In Liquid State- at High temperatures above the melting point of Fe and at high pressures with a combination of reduction mechanisms- directly by Carbon and Indirectly by Carbon Monoxide. (Predominantly by Indirect means)

Tonnage Steelmaking in Integrated Steel Plants
• Done in Two Stages.
• First Stage- Iron Smelting / Iron making – To produce Liquid Iron that is impure and saturated with Carbon and other contaminant elements.
• Second Stage- Steelmaking / Refining of Liquid Iron by Oxidising the Impurities in Basic Oxygen Furnaces to produce Steel of required qualities.

Modern Ironmaking Basics
![Page 26: Iron Making](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062401/577cce1f1a28ab9e788d5f04/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Iron making basics• Making iron is the first step in producing steel• Iron should be produced of consistent quality.
• C= 4.5 -5 %, Si =0.0.4 –1..0%, Mn = 0.2-0.3%, S= 0.015- 0.040% , P=0.080-0.090%, Rest Fe.
• Blast furnace is a reactor to produce iron. Ore reaches molten state and gets separated physically due to density from gangue and impurities.
• Presence of excess carbon reduces the melting point of iron to 1150oC.
• Iron purity is controlled by controlling the composition of the slag.
![Page 27: Iron Making](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062401/577cce1f1a28ab9e788d5f04/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Liquid Iron – Pig Iron – Hot metal
• Pig Iron – allusion to suckling Pigs in Sand molds of a cast floor.
When cast into standard molds for merchant foundries- known as Pigs on solidification.
• Integrated Steel Plants refer to Liquid Iron as Hot metal. An Intermediate product which feeds the Refining stage of Steelmaking.
![Page 28: Iron Making](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062401/577cce1f1a28ab9e788d5f04/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Bulk of the Hot metal is produced by Blast Furnaces
• Blast Furnace – a Counter current Gas Solid / Liquid reactor operating at high temperatures and pressures.
• Solids charged from the top. Reducing gases generated at the bottom by combustion of Carbon either as Charcoal or Coke
![Page 29: Iron Making](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062401/577cce1f1a28ab9e788d5f04/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Blast Furnace• A Refractory lined Vertical Steel
shaft with a closure at the top to admit solid reactants (such as Iron ores, Fluxing Limestone and Coke)
• Ports below to admit Hot air to burn Carbon for generating reducing gases.
• The solid raw material above gradually descends to replace the voids created by gasifying carbon.
• The solids soften and melt along the way as they get heated up and are fully liquefied by the time they reach the bottom.
• Difference in Densities of Liquid metal and Slag makes it easy to be drained out separately.

Why the Shape of Blast Furnace?
![Page 31: Iron Making](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062401/577cce1f1a28ab9e788d5f04/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Throat – 180 to 300 deg C -Drying
Stack – 300 to 650 deg C – Swelling and Mild reduction, decrepitation
Parallel Bosh – 650 to 950 deg C- Intensive reduction
Lower Bosh – 950 to 1800 deg C –melting and dripping zone
Hearth – 1400 to 1350 deg C – Pool, slag metal separation

Role of Coke
• Supply Heat needed for the process.-- Drying- Calcination of Fluxes- Reduction of Iron Oxides- Slagging of Gangue with Fluxes- Compensate losses in cooling, radiation and sensible losses.
• Act as Spacer and Support the Burden.

Coke Rate• Coke Rate or Carbon Rate is a function of
– Raw Material,Flux and Coke chemistry and level of impuruties.
– Higher the impurities more the Carbon rate.– Mass and Heat Balance determines the CR– Typical Iron / Carbon Ratios 1.3 in India to 2.2 in
European countries.
– Typical Indian Coke has 20% to 23 % Ash– Typical Ash composition is 55% SiO2 and 30 % Al2
O3

Top equipment• Blast furnace can have either a Bell top (Double bell
system with or without movable throat armour) or a Bell less top.
• Double bell system has a small and a big bell/ small bell arranged one below the other.
• Hoppers present at the bells store the raw materials charged. Either one of the bells are kept closed at a time to prevent the escape of gas.
• Modern furnaces use BLT (Bell less top system)

Stock house• Raw materials of different types are brought from
respective plants say coke from coke oven plant, sinter from sinter plant via conveyor belts and stored here.
• It receives, stores, screens, weighs and charges the raw material.
• Typical Stock house Assembly:• Conveyor 1: Feeding iron ore & additives from ore
handling plant• Conveyor 2: Feeding two fraction of coke (34-60 mm & 60-80 mm) from coke ovens.• Conveyor 3: Feeding Sinter from Sinter plant.

Stock house• The fines are separated while screening coke (-8 mm),
sinter (-5 mm), iron ore (-8 mm) and carried away by a separate conveyor to Sinter plant base mix yard.
• Bunker outlets will have Vibro-feeders and Vibro-screens fro smooth flow of burden material.
• Design specifications for 8000 t/d blast furnace:
Storage HoursCoke 8-10
Sinter (two sizes 5-15 mm & 15-40 mm) 20
Sized iron ore 16-20
Additives 24
Fines (sinter -5mm, iron ore -8mm, coke breeze -8mm) 8
