Purest form of iron is

Answer 1

Wrought iron is purer than pig iron.

When purifying iron ore in a furnace furnace, air is passed through a "charge" of iron ore, limestone, and some form of carbon, charcoal or coal. This "smelting" process is a chemical change: the molten iron produced is tapped from the furnace as "pig" iron. Pig iron is iron with a high carbon content as well as some sulfur. Due to it's impurities pig iron has a lower melting point and is acceptable for casting but not forging.

Wrought Iron is made much the same way with the exception of the carbon source being used is coke, a purified form of bituminous coal. Coke being a purer form of carbon burns smokeless and imparts little to no carbon to the iron allowing more impurities to burn out. This byproduct is wrought iron. Wrought iron is acceptable for either casting or forging.

Answer 2

Pure iron refers to iron that is "all iron" with no other things in it. We find a lot of things around us made of iron, but the iron has impurities in it. About the only place we find iron in pure form is in iron (like filings, powder or other form) that is supplied to a chemical laboratory as reagent grade.

Answer 3

Pure iron is an element which has all the impurities removed from it. There is only one kind of atom, all the atoms are iron atoms.

Answer 4

No. In nature, iron is found as an ore which contains iron oxides and sulfides.

Answer 5

The form that best suits your intended use.

Answer 6

Fe, it's elemental form. You can't simplify an element making it its purest.

Answer 7

There are several such forms, as all the ores of iron for example Haematite ore magnetite ore.

Answer 8

Wrought Iron

Answer 9

Wrought iron is the purest form of iron.
