Blast furnace (BF) process of iron making is a process where liquid iron (hot metal) and liquid slag are produced by the reduction of iron-bearing materials (sinter and/or pellet and lump ore) with coke and by fluxing of the gangue material of the feed materials (IBM 2011). The process is the result of a series of chemical reactions which …

Making iron and steel from iron ore requires a long process of mining, crushing, separating, concentrating, mixing, agglomeration (sintering and pelletizing), …

The blast furnace uses coke, iron ore and limestone to produce pig iron. Coal traditionally has been a key part of the coke-making process. The coal is crushed and ground into a powder and then charged into an oven where it is heated to approximately 1800°F in the absence of oxygen. As the oven is heated, the coal begins to melt so most of the ...

Feed material for the DR process is either sized iron ore of size ranging from 10 mm to 30 mm or iron ore pellets of size ranging from 8 mm to 20 mm produced in an iron ore pellet plant. The gas based process uses a shaft furnace for the reduction reaction. The coal based process uses any one of the four types of reactors for the …

This flowchart made of machinery icons explains or expresses in simple but clear terms the step of the Copper Mining and Copper Extraction Process. Starting from either open-pit or underground mining and using a different relevant treatment method for oxide or sulphide copper mineral (ore). Having a quick look now at how porphyry ores …

The iron ore processing industry produces usable concentrations of iron-bearing material by removing nonferrous rock (gangue) from low-grade ore. In the United States, …

The shaft furnace (Figure 2) is the core of the DR process. Iron ore pellets are charged at the top, descend due to gravity, and encounter an upward counter-flow of gas. The reducing gas (CO and H 2, plus CH 4, CO 2, and H 2 O, at about 950 °C) is injected peripherally at mid-height and exits at the top. In the lower section of the …

Description. Mekanism adds various tiers of ore processing for better ingot yields from Silk Touch Ore. To acquire Silk Touch Ore the silk touch enchant needs to be enchanted on a pickaxe. Each tier use a specific machine to process the raw ore ( for direct ingots, dusts, clumps, shards or crystals ).Then the product is processed by the ...
