Blast furnace @ Chemistry Dictionary & Glossary

Blast furnace is a furnace for smelting of iron from iron oxide ores (hematite, Fe 2 O 3 or magnetite, Fe 3 O 4). Coke, limestone and iron ore are poured in the top, which would normally burn only on the surface. The hot air blast to the furnace burns the coke and maintains the very high temperatures that are needed to reduce the ore to iron.

High-Quality Magnetite

Historically, hematite was the preferred iron ore due to its direct usability in blast furnaces (BF) for steel production, without beneficiation (value improvement) costs. But with declining hematite ore quality and a shift towards low-carbon technologies such as DRI, the demand for high-quality magnetite ore is at historically high levels.
