Answer:
A Short description of p-Block elements are as follows -
1) Elements belonging to group 13 to 18
2) Their general electronic configuration is nS2, nPx (X = 1 to 6)
3) They are basically forming the Non-metallic part of the periodic table (Group 13 except B, All other elements are metallic in nature)
4) Their oxides are acidic in nature

BLAST FURNACE -
A large structure in which iron ore is heated under pressure so that it melts and the pure iron metal separates out and can be collected.
Blasts furnaces are used for smelting during the production of metals such as iron, lead, zinc, and copper. A blast furnace works by blasting hot air up through the furnace while fuels, limestone, and ore move continuously through the top of the furnace. The method used in blast furnaces have been used since the 1500's.
