Excerpt from Preliminary Report on the Experiments Made at Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., Under Government Auspices, in the Smelting of Canadian Iron Ores by the Electro-Thermic Process<br/><br/>A number of experiments required to be made to adjust the capacity of the crucible of the furnace to the energy available and to determine the shape to be given to the interior of the furnace to insure easy passage of the charge into the reducing and melting zones. After this, attempts were made to utilize the calorific energy of the caib'ou monoxide resulting from the reduction of the ore, which tn all experiments so far recorded had been wasted; To accomplish this air under pressure was introduced into the furnace about 12 inches below the upper level of the charge. The carbon of the. Charge, in the form of coke dust, was mixed with fire clay and briquetted to prevent it from being consumed by the air blast. It was hoped that by thus utilizing the carbon monoxide in preheating the charge and partially reducing the ore the output would be materially increased.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a series of experiments conducted by the author, a highly skilled professional, in collaboration with the Canadian government. Their aim was to assess the feasibility of a novel approach to iron production in Canadaâ"the electric smelting of iron ores. The study focused on three crucial aspects: whether magnetite, a common Canadian ore, could be smelted efficiently; if ores with high sulfur content could be transformed into low-sulfur pig iron; and finally, whether charcoal, a readily available resource in Canada, could replace imported coke as a reducing agent. Through meticulous experimentation, the author demonstrates that magnetite can indeed be smelted economically, opening up new possibilities for Canadian iron production. Furthermore, they discover that high-sulfur ores can be successfully converted into low-sulfur pig iron, a significant advancement in iron production technology. Additionally, the book highlights the viability of using charcoal as a reducing agent, offering cost-effective and sustainable alternatives to traditional methods. The author's findings hold great significance for the development of the iron industry, particularly in regions with abundant magnetite and charcoal resources. This book serves as a valuable reference for researchers, industry professionals, and anyone interested in the advancement of iron production and its implications for economic growth and resource utilization.
