CHAPTER 3 PHYSICAL AND PHYSICO CHEMICAL ...
Chemical characterization involves the analysis of iron ore and agglomerates, analysis of coke and lime stone. The major constituents of iron burden are Fe203, FeO, Si02, A1203, and the traces elements like Cu, Ni, Co, Pb, Zn and,Mn. Through chemical analysis, the quality of iron burden for the blast furnace can be assessed prior to its charging.
