UNIT-V : Learning Objective: Design and operation of Blast Furnace study.
Blast Furnace Operation: Blowing in, blowing out, fanning and draughting. BF irregularities and their control/remedies. Development of BF: HTP, humidification of blast. O2 enrichment, hot blast temperature, BF additives, and top charging systems.
UNIT-VI : Learning Objective: BF Burden calculations and study of alternate routes of iron making including wrought iron.
BF Burden calculations: Raceways parameters. Factors affecting it. Alternative routes of iron making: Electric pig iron smelting, low shaft and small shaft BF.Clssification of sponge iron making. HYL, Kiln Krupp-Renn, Midrex process. Production of wrought iron.
(Assessment: The student should be evaluated based on the assignments and objective tests. The student’s analytical abilities (with special focus on academically weak students) should be tested periodically in classes by giving problems). Emphasis should be given by conducting tutorial classes at the end of each unit.
