Who invented the process to remove impurities by blasts of cold air blown through heated iron?
Bessemer, fellow mca student
How Is Iron Ore Purified using Carbon?
Iron ore, carbon (also called 'coke') and limestone are heated in a blast furnace. The carbon reacts with oxygen blasted into the furnace from the bottom to form carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide then reduces the the iron ore to molten iron and becomes carbon dioxide in the process. The limestone in the furnace melts the impurities and decomposes to calcium oxide (quicklime). Quicklime and impurities mix together to form 'slag'. The slag floats on top of the molten iron so that the iron can be drained off at the bottom.
What type of resource is iron ore?
Iron is a natural resource. It is found in nature as Iron Ore, which is iron with oxygen and other impurities. These impurities are removed by heat treating the Iron Ore and melting away the impurities, due to different melting points of the impurities.
Why is limestone added to the blast furnace during the extraction of iron?
Iron ore contains the impurities sand and clay, which are silicon oxides. Limestone is added to remove these impurities.
Is silver carbonate used to remove iron impurities?
Yes , Silver Carbonate can be used to remove iron purities beceause Iron being more reactive than silver replaces silver from silver carbonate . Hence Iron impurities can be removed .
How did steel processing change in the 1850s?
Henry Bessemer invented the Bessemer process a way to manufacture steel quickly and cheaply by blasting hot air through melted iron to quickly remove impurities.
Who developed a procedure to produce steel cheaply and easily?
It is called the Bessemer process. Iron has particles in it and air is blown into the molten iron to get rid of the impurities in the iron. It becomes steel.
The Englishman Henry Cort was responsible for the process in iron smelting known as?
The Englishman Henry Cort was responsible for the process in iron smelting known as puddling. This process uses coke to burn away impurities.
How did the kelly-Bessemer process help iron and steel production better?
It mixed impurities in the iron ore enough to eliminate the problem of weakening.
How did the Bessemer process allow better use of iron ore?
A faster and more affordable way of making steel, using air blown in through the iron that caused impurities to burn off.
How did the Kelly Bessemer process help make iron and steel production better?

When oxygen is blown into pure iron to remove impurities Wont it react with Iron itself to give iron oxide?
Oxygen is not blown into pure iron, it is blown into molten iron ore (many impurities) and coke has been added to the mix as well. the coke reacts with the impurities and the oxygen to purify the iron ore.
Is Iron a mixture or a compound or a element?
Pure Iron is an element with the symbol Fe.Pure iron is an element, but what is called "iron" in ordinary speech often contains some impurities and if so is a mixture.Iron is an element

What is the significance of the Bessemer converter?
It was an industrial process for the mass production of steel from molten pig iron. Impurities are removed from the pig iron by oxidization by a blast of air in a special tilting retort
