5 Blast Furnace Layout What a melting pot! Source: H.B. Lüngen, Steel Institute VDEh

6 Types of Iron Ore Different types different Fe-contents Hematite, Fe 2 O 3 Limonite, FeO nh 2 O Magnetite, Fe 3 O 4 Iron Ores Taconite, Fe 3 O 4 Siderite, FeCO 3 Itabirite, Fe 2 O 3 (banded)

7 Agglomeration of Fines Sintering and pelletizing Sinter Pellets: diameter 1.5 cm Source: Primetals

8 Coal and Coke High performance blast furnaces need excellent coke! Source: DMT

9 Chemical and Physical Processes Chemical reactions, heat and mass balance, flow phenomena Indirect reduction Direct reduction With the knowledge of chemical reactions, heat and mass balance and flow phenomena you are able to understand the largest black box in the world!

10 Application of Reducing Agents Coke, coal, oil, gases and plastics Coke Source: A. Babic RWTH Aachen University

11 Blast Furnace Performance Coke in the blast furnace: different challenges different coke qualities Small coke Mixed in ore burden High reactivity: Consumption in the upper BF Layer coke Sufficient I 40, CSR, size and size distribution Low reactivity: Permeability and drainage Centre or hearth coke High I 40, CSR and voidage Low reactivity: Permeability and drainage Source: P.Schmöle, thyssenkrupp Steel

12 Operational Challenges Burden, circumferential symmetry, tuyeres, stops, starts Tuyere blockage and explosion! Preventative measures: Delta-P over tuyere stocks or light sensor coupled to individual lances Source: M. Geerdes
