The blast furnace is used for extracting iron from its ore.
In summary,
A mixture called the charge( iron ore-haematite, limestone-calcium carbonate, and coke-pure carbon) containing the iron ore is added through the top of the furnace. Hot air is blasted in through the bottom. After a series of reactions, liquid iron collects at the bottom of the furnace.

Which metal ore do you m ine to extract steel?
No ore contains steel. However, IRON ore, such as taconite, produces iron. When alloyed with other metals and carbon, it becomes steel.
Who mines the most Iron ore?
Iron ore can be found almost anywhere deep underground. The top countries mining iron ore are China followed by Australia, Brazil, India and Russia. If you google "china iron ore map" in images you'll find the most active iron ore mines in the world.
Which metal out of copper and iron is the easiest to extract from it's ore?
yes, it is quite easy to remove cu from its ore because cu is less reactive so less energy is required i.e.it can be removed from its ore by just heating its ore in air for two to three times.
Is iron ore a mixture or a compound?
Iron ore is a mixture.
How did your ancestors extract iron?
The basic process to extract iron from ores is to oxidize the ore into iron oxides (such as FeO, Fe2O3, etc.). The iron oxides are melted and mixed with charcoal or coke (carbon from purified coal). The reaction for Fe(III)oxide is: 2Fe2O3 + 3C ---> 4Fe + 3CO2 Typically the molten product was pored into ingots known as pig iron.
Which ore is aluminum extract from?
which ore is aluminum extracted from
Who extracted iron?
Miners extract iron ore from the ground.
Are iron and iron ore the same thing?
No; iron ore is mixed with copper and smelted; the ore needs to be refined to extract pure iron. You cannot make a tool out of ore, but rather with pure iron.
What is Blast Furnace?
A blast furnace is used to extract iron from its ore.
Why is carbon used to extract iron from it's ore?
The carbon combines with the oxygen in the ore, separating it from the iron.Excess carbon alloys with the extracted iron, hardening it.
Which metal ore do you m ine to extract steel?
No ore contains steel. However, IRON ore, such as taconite, produces iron. When alloyed with other metals and carbon, it becomes steel.
Why do we need to extract iron from it's ore?
We extract iron form it's ore so that we can use it for a lot more things. For Example, this process makes wrought iron which can be used for ornamental work in gates. A lot of the iron from the blast furnace can be made into steel. Useful website: gcsescience.com
What does mummification mean word related to ancient Egypt?

What types of ore that contains iron?
An ore is a rock that contains minerals that are useful. For an ore to be considered an ore reserve, it must be economically viable (the value of the extracted mineral must exceed the cost of extraction and processing) and must be technically and legally possible to extract.
Who learned to extract iron from ore to make superior weapons?
Samantha luvs Monica ~ por vida ~
What is the mineral used to create iron ore?
Iron is the mineral. Iron is an element and as such, is not composed of any other materials, though iron ore comes out of the ground mixed with many other minerals. The ore must then be processed to extract the pure iron for practicle use.
