Chemistry of Blast furnace smelting
• C + 1/2O2 = CO
• C + O2 = CO2
• CO2 + C = 2CO
• Zn O + CO = Zn + CO2
• Pb O + CO = Pb + CO2

• The furnace gases generated during reduction pass
upward through the charge and are evenly divided
between two condensers.
• The condensers very rapidly cool the furnace gases
result is condensation of Zinc in gases.
• Each condenser consists of bath of molten Lead.
• When the furnace gases pass through the spray they are
subjected to shock cooling.
