Extraction of Iron | Metallurgy | Blast Furnace and Reactions
WEBThe extraction of iron from its ore is a long and subdued process, that helps in separating the useful components from the waste materials such as slag. What happens in the Blast Furnace? The purpose of a Blast Furnace is to reduce the concentrated ore chemically to its liquid metal state.
23.3: Metallurgy of Iron and Steel - Chemistry LibreTexts
WEBJul 12, 2023 · The overall reaction for the production of iron in a blast furnace is as follows: \[\mathrm{Fe_2O_3(s) +3C(s)\xrightarrow{\Delta}2Fe(l) +3CO(g)} \label{23.2.3}\] The actual reductant is CO, which reduces Fe 2 O 3 to give Fe(l) and CO 2 (g) (Equation \(\ref{23.2.3}\)); the CO 2 is then reduced back to CO by reaction with excess carbon.

WEBExtracting iron from iron ore using a Blast Furnace. Introduction. The common ores of iron are both iron oxides, and these can be reduced to iron by heating them with carbon in the form of coke. Coke is produced by heating coal in the absence of air.
Lesson Explainer: Extracting Iron | Nagwa
WEBThe extraction of iron occurs inside a blast furnace, a large 40 m tall steel tower. The waste gases produced from this process are carbon dioxide and nitrogen, neither of which is known as coke. Limestone is part of the charge used when extracting iron from its ore.
Blast furnace | Definition, Temperature, Diagrams, & Facts
WEBBlast furnaces produce pig iron from iron ore by the reducing action of carbon (supplied as coke) at a high temperature in the presence of a fluxing agent such as limestone. Ironmaking blast furnaces consist of several zones: a crucible-shaped hearth at the bottom of the furnace; an intermediate zone called a bosh between the hearth and the ...
