>>1164001>The bloomery furnace produced iron in a solid state. This is because the bloomery process was conducted at a temperature higher than that required for reduction of pure iron oxide to iron metal, but a temperature lower than the melting point of iron metal.>Blast furnaces were used to produce liquid iron. The blast furnace was operated at higher temperatures and at a greater reducing condition than the bloomery furnace. A greater reducing environment was achieved by increasing the fuel to ore ratio. More carbon reacted with the ore and produced a cast iron rather than solid iron. Also, the slag produced was less rich in iron.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_iron_productionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blast_furnace#Medieval_EuropeWith one word, you're a sack of shit, they typical internet expert that claims shit and when called out reacts agressive. feel free to post an example of a small primitive blast furnace, because hey, even in the medieval they looked like pic related.
