Can carbon monoxide be involved in the extraction of iron from hematite?

YES!!! In the Blast Furnace. CO is a powerful reducing agent , so it will reduce haematite to iron. In the Blast furnace, CO2 is formed from the thermal decomposition of limestone(flux). However because there is an excess of carbon (C) in the form of coke, the coke and CO2 combine to form CO (Carbon Monoxide). The carbon monoxide then reduces the haematite to iron, releasing CO2 in the process. The C , CO and CO2 then react in a cyclic manner inside the furnace. 3CO + F2O3 = 2Fe+ 3CO2


Why is a blast furnace called blast furnace?

how does the blast furnace maintain the heat ?what is the function of CaCO3 ?how the slag protect the molten iron ?why does iron flow down to the bottom /how does the slag and molten iron get seperated ?what is use of waste gas /what is main impurity of iron in blast furnace ?


Who first invented the blast furnace?

Some will give credit to Sir Henry Bessemer invented the modern day blast furnace in 1855. However, if you look historically the Chinese invented the blast furnace. By at least the 4th century the Chinese have developed blast furnaces to obtain cast iron from iron ore. This was 1200 years before the first blast furnace showed up in Europe.
