← HistoryWhich outcome occurred when early blast furnaces introduced improved bellows?
A)Higher-purity cast iron production✓
B)Increased crucible steel production
C)Reduced rate of wrought iron output
D)Decreased charcoal consumption amount
💡 Explanation
Higher-purity cast iron production occurred because increased airflow from better bellows led to a higher furnace temperatures, improving reduction reactions; therefore this outcome allowed for more silicon and carbon removal, rather than promoting steel using a crucible.
