2020130· 1. Introduction A blast furnace (BF) is the most common process for hot metal production in the world. The BF is charged with metallurgical coke and iron-bearing materials separately, which leads to a lay-ered structure. The iron-bearing materials consist of iron ore pel-lets, lump ore, and sinter. When the charge material descends, it is reduced by CO and H2. In …

11· The integrated iron and steelmaking route involves blast furnace (BF) ironmaking followed by basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steelmaking. The BF uses sinter, pellets, and lump ore as iron-bearing raw materials, and coke and pulverized coal as fuel and reducing agents to produce hot metal with consistent quality for the BOF process.
