Sand (Silicon dioxide) and carbon.

Other impurities are sulphur and phosphorus compounds.

The silicon dioxide , sand, is removed in the blast furnace, and makes 'salg', calcium silicate.

The other impurities are removed in the BOS plant, where an oxygen lance, removes the sulphur and phosphorus compounds and carbon percentage is adjusted.

What are the main metal compounds in iron ore aluminum ore and copper ore?

Iron ore, which is known as (haematite) it is made up of Iron(III) oxide, Fe2O3 and sand, it is mainly made up of iron(III) oxide, Fe2O3.An Aluminum ore, one of which is know as (Bauxite) is mad up of gibbsite Al(OH)3, boehmite y-AlOH(OH), and diaspore α-AlO(OH), it is mainly made up of gibbsite Al(OH)3. The gibbsite is normally converted into aluminum oxide, Al2O3, the aluminum oxide is obtained by heating the gibbsite.A Copper ore, one of which is known as (Cuprite) is made up of mainly copper(I) oxide Cu2O.I hope this answered your question. and here are quick built points with just the metal ore and their main metal compounds.The ore - the main metal compoundIron ore - iron(III) oxide, Fe2O3Aluminum ore - aluminum oxide, Al2O3Copper ore - copper(I) oxide Cu2Osigned Josef, hope it helped
