Abstract

Thermodynamics allows us to understand the chemical reactions occurring inside an experimental archaeometallurgical shaft furnace for iron smelting. The production of an iron bloom, with the so-called direct process, is described in a daily pyrometallurgical cycle. The experiences suggest that, as higher and better blown furnaces were built for improving the production, different reactions have been involved and a new material, pig iron, has been obtained
