  2. Metallurgical furnace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallurgical_furnace

    These blasts make the fuel burn hotter and drive chemical reactions. Furnaces of this type include: The blast furnace, used to produce pig iron from iron ore. These can be subdivided into: Cold blast furnaces; Hot blast furnaces; The bloomery, a precursor to the blast furnace that produces sponge iron from ore

    The largest server is widely accepted to be the minigame server Hypixel. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Minecraft multiplayer servers are controlled by server operators , who have access to server commands such as setting the time of day, teleporting players and setting the world spawn.

  4. Cupola furnace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupola_furnace

    A small cupola furnace in operation at Wayne State University, in Detroit, Michigan.. A cupola or cupola furnace is a melting device used in foundries that can be used to melt cast iron, Ni-resist iron and some bronzes.

  5. Refining (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refining_(metallurgy)

    In metallurgy, refining consists of purifying an impure metal. It is to be distinguished from other processes such as smelting and calcining in that those two involve a chemical change to the raw material, whereas in refining the final material is chemically identical to the raw material.

  6. Flux (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_(metallurgy)

    In the process of smelting, inorganic chlorides, fluorides (see fluorite), limestone and other materials are designated as "fluxes" when added to the contents of a smelting furnace or a cupola for the purpose of purging the metal of chemical impurities such as phosphorus, and of rendering slag more liquid at the smelting temperature.

  7. Smelting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smelting

    Electric phosphate smelting furnace in a TVA chemical plant (1942) Smelting is a process of applying heat and a chemical reducing agent to an ore to extract a desired base metal product. [ 1 ] It is a form of extractive metallurgy that is used to obtain many metals such as iron , copper , silver , tin , lead and zinc .

  8. Tatara (furnace) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatara_(furnace)

    After the clay tub has dried, it is fired until dry. A charcoal fire is started from soft pine charcoal, then the smelter will wait for the fire to reach the correct temperature. At that point, he will direct the addition of ironsand, known as satetsu. This will be layered in with more charcoal and more ironsand over the next 72 hours.

  9. Mineral processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_processing

    A bloomery is the original form of smelting and allowed people to make fires hot enough to melt oxides into a liquid that separates from the iron. Although the bloomery was promptly phased out by the invention of the blast furnace, it was still heavily relied on in Africa and Europe until the early part of the second millennium.
