철강 생산과 산업 문명의 토대
개요
The blast furnace reduces iron ore (hematite, Fe₂O₃) to pig iron using coke as both fuel and reducing agent. This process has been the foundation of iron and steel production since the Industrial Revolution. Modern blast furnaces are enormous structures up to 100 meters tall, producing 10,000-13,000 tons of hot metal per day. The iron industry consumes approximately 1 billion tons of iron ore and 350 million tons of metallurgical coke annually. Pig iron is subsequently converted to steel in basic oxygen furnaces (BOF) or electric arc furnaces (EAF).
화학 공정
Iron ore, coke, and limestone are charged from the top of the blast furnace. Hot blast air (1,000-1,200 degrees C) is injected through tuyeres at the bottom, combusting coke to produce CO, which rises through the furnace reducing iron oxides. Molten iron (pig iron, ~4% C) collects at the hearth at 1,500 degrees C, while slag (CaO-SiO₂-Al₂O₃) floats on top. Both are tapped periodically through separate tapholes.
CO₂ + C → 2CO (Boudouard reaction)
Fe₂O₃ + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO₂ (indirect reduction, 400-900 degrees C)
CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂
CaO + SiO₂ → CaSiO₃ (slag formation)
원자재
-
Iron ore (Fe₂O₃, hematite) — Mining (Australia, Brazil, China, India) (Iron source)
-
Metallurgical coke — Coking of bituminous coal (1,000-1,100 degrees C) (Fuel and reducing agent)
-
Limestone (CaCO₃) — Quarrying (Flux (removes silica impurities as slag))
최종 제품
-
Pig iron (hot metal) — Steelmaking in BOF or foundry casting (~4% C, 1,500 degrees C liquid, 93-94% Fe)
-
Blast furnace slag — Cement additive (GGBS), road aggregate (CaO-SiO₂-Al₂O₃ glass, valuable byproduct)
Environmental Impact
The iron and steel industry is responsible for approximately 7% of global CO₂ emissions. Each ton of hot metal requires approximately 500 kg of coke and produces 1.5-2.0 tons of CO₂. Blast furnace gas is captured and used as fuel. Slag is increasingly recycled as a cement substitute, reducing both waste and cement industry emissions.
안전 고려사항
- ⚠ Molten iron at 1,500 degrees C — catastrophic breakout risk
- ⚠ Carbon monoxide gas throughout the furnace — toxic and explosive
- ⚠ Hot blast stoves operate at 1,200 degrees C — extreme burn hazard
- ⚠ Blast furnace reline/blowdown involves confined space and high-temperature hazards
최근 혁신
Hydrogen direct reduction (H-DRI) using green hydrogen eliminates CO₂ emissions entirely (HYBRIT project, Sweden).
Top gas recycling with CO₂ capture (ULCOS) reduces emissions by 50%.
Electric arc furnace steelmaking from scrap is growing, requiring no blast furnace.
Carbon capture utilization (CCU) converts blast furnace CO₂ to chemicals.
