In Field Of Industrial
Research
Washington.—The United States
government Is now making iron, not
only as an experiment and not for
ithe commercial field. Its blast fur
nace Is located at Minneapolis, and
Is operated as a laboratory by the
bureau of mines In co-operation with
the University of Minnesota. After
four years of experimentation to de
velop It, the furnace recently pro
duced several tons of gray Iron and
spiegoleisen.
; This type of experiment Is declar
ed unique in the field of industrial
research, as blast furnaces are not
included usually in laboratory equip
ment. But with the demonstration
showing every phase of the opera
tion of Iron mil ;ing under complete
technical control, It Is believed the
Investigators at the Minneapolis sta
tion are in a position to undertake
the study of various problems, the
solution of which should bo of great
practical value to blast furnace oper
ators.
The furnace as operated first as
a slagging type gas producer, until
It had reached a steady Btate ther
mally and chemically. Iron ore with
out the addition of a flux then was
introduced, and as descent in the
furnace was followed by means of gas
samples taken at various stations.
When the ..effect of this charge had
been dissipated, more ore was*charged
without limestone, and other setB of
samples ware taken.
; The purpose is to obtain a com-
{parison of the gas composition at
various planes of the furnace. Va-
irious sizes of ore alBO were used.
The reduction of the ore at the stock-
line was found to be greater with
smaller Bized ore, as indicated by
higher carbon dioxide.
One of the most important prob
lems that will be worked out with
the experimental furnace will be that
of finding a means of extracting iron
from 'the low-grade ores found espec
ially In northern Minnesota.
