How is iron extracted from rocks?

Iron ores consists mostly of oxygen and iron atoms bonded together into molecules. To convert these oxides or iron to metallic iron, they must be smelted or sent through a direct reduction process to remove the oxygen. Oxygen-iron bonds are strong, and to remove the iron from the oxygen, a stronger elemental bond must be presented to attach to the oxygen. Carbon is used because the strength of a carbon-oxygen bond is greater than that of the iron-oxygen bond, and the process is done at high temperatures. The iron ore must be powdered and mixed with coke, which is essentially carbon, and the whole must be burnt in the smelting process.It is reduced with carbon by smelting. It is placed in a furnace with carbon coke and lime is added to reduce impurities
