Basic Oxygen Process

The Basic Oxygen Process is a steel-making method where pure oxygen is blown into molten iron to remove impurities like carbon, silicon, and sulfur. The oxygen reacts with these impurities, converting them into gases or slag that can be separated from the iron. This process refines the iron into steel quickly and efficiently, allowing control over the final composition. It’s widely used because it produces high-quality steel with precise properties while being cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
