Pig iron is one of the most important materials produced in the metallurgical industry. It is generally produced from the iron ore by chemical reduction process of iron conducted in a large furnace called a blast furnace. The blast furnace is known to be the most complicated furnace system since it combines the operation of reducing the iron, melting the iron and slag and separating the latter from the iron. The furnace is a large cylinder lined with refractory material and has an opening at the top through which the charge consisting of coke, the iron ore and the flux enters the furnace. The charging material is carried up to the top of the furnace by means of special skip cars moving on an inclined hoist up to the top and empting the charge into the hopper. The charge must be porous enough to permit the uniform flow of air and gas through the material.
The action of the blast furnace consists in the chemical reaction between the solid charge and the rising column of gas in the furnace. The air necessary to support the combustion of the coke is blown into the furnace through the so-called tuyeres near the bottom of the furnace. To achieve a higher temperature in the melting zone the air is heated by means of stoves.
Once a blast furnace has been ignited it is operated continuously for many months. As raw material is consumed more and more carefully weighed portion of coke, the iron ore and the flux are added to maintain the needed volume of the material within the furnace. As the iron and slag are formed they drop to the hearth at the bottom of the furnace. Molten slag having a lower density floats on the iron and then it is tapped through the slag hole. Many of the impurities are collected and removed with limestone in the form of molten slag.
The iron is tapped from the furnace through the iron notch every 4 or 5 hours. The product obtained is a high-carbon iron called pig iron which is impure, brittle and not practically strong. Several classes of the blast furnace irons are produced depending on the use to which the iron is intended. Some pig irons are required for steel production in the open-hearth and Bessemer converter by reducing the carbon content and removing the impurities, others are used in foundry.
