Abstract

A blast furnace operation method according to one aspect of the present invention includes: a process of acquiring a correlation between a carbon consumption in reducing gas and a reduction InputΔC in specific carbon consumption caused by blowing the reducing gas into the blast furnace per molar ratio C/H of carbon atoms to hydrogen atoms in the reducing gas; a process of determining a carbon consumption in the reducing gas where the reduction InputΔC in specific carbon consumption is a predetermined target value or higher on the basis of the correlation acquired per C/H; and a process of adjusting the amount of the reducing gas blown into the blast furnace on the basis of the determined carbon consumption in the reducing gas and the carbon proportion in the reducing gas.
