masovn


Definition from Store norske leksikon:
Masovn: sjaktovn for fremstilling av råjern ved reduksjon av jernmalm med kull i form av koks eller trekull. Energien til prosessen skaffes enten ved forbrenning av kull, eller ved tilførsel av elektrisk kraft.

Example sentence(s):
  • Masovnen er industrialderens variant av jernvinna og bygger på samme prinsipp: jernoksid, karbon (trekull eller koks) og oksygen (fra luft) bringes sammen under høy temperatur. Oksygen reagerer med karbon til karbondioksid (1), karbondioksid reagerer med karbon til karbonmonoksid (2) og karbonmonoksid reagerer med jernoksid til karbondioksid og jern (3): - Naturfag for alle  
  • Fremstilling av råjern, som er utgangsmateriale for stålproduksjonen, foregår i høye sjaktovner, masovner. - Norsk nettskole
