Their blast furnace process is characterized by blowing high ... solving these bottlenecks is an integrated material and energy flow system to optimize the production process.

oxide + carbon monoxide → iron + carbon dioxide The blast furnace is a continuous process (ie reactants are added constantly so that the reaction does not stop). This is due to the cost and ...

The result is a continuous flow of high ... the iron making process in just three to six seconds, compared to the five to six hours required by traditional blast furnaces. This represents a ...
