Recycling of Waste Plastic Packaging in a Blast Furnace System
As shown in Fig. 1, iron ore and coke are loaded into the blast furnace from the top in alternate layers, and hot air from the tuyeres at the base of the furnace fed in to generate CO gas from the coke, the heat of this reaction and the CO being used to reduce and smelt the iron ore. The pig iron and slag thus produced are removed at intervals via an outlet at the base of the furnace
