Detailed explanation-1: -Basic oxygen steelmaking is essentially an improved version of the Bessemer process (decarburization by blowing oxygen as gas into the heat rather than burning the excess carbon away by adding oxygen carrying substances into the heat).
Detailed explanation-2: -The Bessemer Steel Process was a method of producing high-quality steel by shooting air into molten steel to burn off carbon and other impurities. It was named after the British inventor Sir Henry Bessemer, who worked to develop the process in the 1850s.
Detailed explanation-3: -Bessemer process, the first method discovered for mass-producing steel. Though named after Sir Henry Bessemer of England, the process evolved from the contributions of many investigators before it could be used on a broad commercial basis.
Detailed explanation-4: -The method devised by Bessemer removed the impurities from the iron thanks to a process of oxidation of the air, obtaining a more resistant steel much more quickly.
