Effect of Alumina on Reduction Softening and Melting Behaviour of Iron Ore Pellets

Aim of the blast furnace ironmaking process is the extraction of iron from iron ore, and prepare the raw iron (hot metal) for steel making. The iron oxides (ore) are charged into the furnace in the form of sinters and pellets containing the iron ore. Iron ore interacts with reducing gases and coke to form molten iron which in combination with...
