Which furnace consumes maximum refractory annually in an integrated steel plant ?
Correct answer: A. L.D. converter
- A. L.D. converter
- B. Blast furnace
- C. Soaking pit
- D. Coke ovens
Explanation
The L.D. converter consumes large quantities of refractory because its lining is exposed to severe thermal, chemical and mechanical attack and must be renewed frequently. Blast-furnace and coke-oven linings generally have much longer service lives.
