(3) Sponge Iron Process: As the name implies, the spongy iron is obtained by the reduction of lumpy iron ore or iron ore pellets from the oxide form into the metallic state. The iron content of the product so obtained varies from 90% to 94% and the balance represents the traces of gangue and residual iron oxide.

Before iron ore can be used, oxygen must be removed from it. Known as 'reducing', this can be done either in the blast furnace, where hot air is injected into a continuous feed of coke, sinter and lime, or by the direct reduced iron (DRI) process. The result from both is liquid iron, which is then transported to the basic oxygen furnace. The blast furnace …
