Coke
Steel
Coke is a processed form of coal and is the basic fuel consumed in blast furnaces during the smelting of iron. Coke, iron ore and limestone are the principal inputs for blast furnace ironmaking. Coke provides thermal energy, combines with the oxygen in the ore to release iron, and ensures a permeable physical structure within the furnace to allow hot gases to move upwards, heating the incoming materials, causing the molten iron and slag to move downwards for tapping.
