What is the function of lime in a blast furnace?
Lime is added to iron ore to help melt some of the unwanted, valuless parts parts of the ore
Which three substances are put into the blast furnace?
Limestone, Iron Ore and Coke.
What is the purpose of heating iron ore to a high temp in a blast furnace?
to heat the iron so that it separates from other elements in the ore
What must be done to iron ore to produce the element iron?
Iron goes through a number of stages between ore and final steel product. In the first stage, iron ore is heated with limestone and coke (pure carbon) in a blast furnace. A blast furnace is a very large oven in which the temperature may reach 1,500°C (2,700°F). In the blast furnace, coke removes oxygen from iron ore Read more: http://www.chemistryexplained.com/elements/C-K/Iron.html#ixzz1820JDBkZ
Describe the smelting of iron ore?
You put the ore in the furnace.. Its a bar.. Woooo you produce carbon dioxide and molten iron pour off molten iron mix with limestone and coal and last place with blast furnace
What is Blast Furnace?
A blast furnace is used to extract iron from its ore.
How does limestone coke and iron ore get into the blast furnace?
through the top of the blast furnace
What is coke for in a blast furnace?
the Coke supplies carbon monoxide to reduce the ore in a blast furnace and supplies heat to melt the iron.

Is iron oxide ruduced or oxidised in a blast furnace?
It is 96% iron (the rest is mostly sulphur etc.).
Which three substances are put into the blast furnace?
Limestone, Iron Ore and Coke.
What is difference between Cupola furnace and blast furnace?
In essence nothing, a Cupola furnace is a type of blast furnace in that it is charged at the top and tapped at the bottom and air is blasted into the furnace via a wind belt and tuyres. A blast furnace in a steel works is a huge structure operated for long periods of time, it is charged with iron ore, coke and limestone and reduces the iron ore into pure iron. A Cupola furnace, as used in the foundry re melts pig iron, from the blast furnace, along with foundry scrap, steel scrap and scrap iron engine blocks and produced iron alloys of various specifications. A Cupola furnace is usually operated on a daily basis but some types can be continuously operated for several weeks

When iron ore is heated in a blast furnace the product are pure iron and carbon dioxide?
I think it istrue

How is iron recovered from its ore?
How do we get iron from its ore? Heat. Lots of heat. We use a blast furnace to smelt the ore and get pig iron. Further processing yields cast iron or steel. Use the link below to get the scoop.
