In blast furnace, the highest temperature is in
Options
- Areduction zone
- Bslag zone
- Cfusion zone
- Dcombustion zone
Correct answer
D. combustion zone
Step-by-step solution
In blast furnace the highest temperature is in combustion zone. In the first stage, coke burns to produce CO ₂ which rises temperature. C + O ₂ CO ₂+ Heat This reaction is exothermic and hence temperature is 2170 K . It is known as combustion zone.
