For efficient performance of a blast furnace, the extent of reduction of Wustite (FeO) should be___________________?

Correct answer: C. 50-60% indirect reduction

  • A. 100% indirect reduction
  • B. 100% direct reduction
  • C. 50-60% indirect reduction
  • D. 30-40% indirect reduction

Explanation

About 50 to 60% of wustite reduction should occur indirectly by CO, because indirect reduction saves coke and improves blast-furnace efficiency. Excessive direct reduction requires more carbon and heat inside the furnace.
