About this ebook

The Iron Blast Furnace: Theory and Practice presents the significant role of iron blast furnace by which iron is efficiently and rapidly reduced from ore and it is the basis for all primary steelmaking. This book discusses the importance of blast-furnace process as a complete operation. Organized into 14 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the existing experimental, theoretical, and operational evidence about the blast furnace. This text then examines the blast furnace from the outside, including its size, production rate, products, raw materials, operation, and costs. Other chapters consider the primary objective of the blast furnace to produce molten iron of constant composition. This book discusses as well the operation of the furnace from the point of view of what happens to the raw materials after they enter the furnace. The final chapter deals with the linear programming methods by using the known physical constraints on industrial furnaces. This book is a valuable resource for engineers.
