YES!!! In the Blast Furnace.

CO is a powerful reducing agent , so it will reduce haematite to iron.

In the Blast furnace, CO2 is formed from the thermal decomposition of limestone(flux). However because there is an excess of carbon (C) in the form of coke, the coke and CO2 combine to form CO (Carbon Monoxide).

The carbon monoxide then reduces the haematite to iron, releasing CO2 in the process. The C , CO and CO2 then react in a cyclic manner inside the furnace.

3CO + F2O3 = 2Fe+ 3CO2

What is the actual reducing agent of haematite in blast furnace?

The reducing agent for hematite in a blast furnace is carbon monoxide (CO) gas, which is produced by the combustion of coke (carbon) at high temperatures. CO reacts with iron oxide (Fe2O3) to form iron metal and carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. This reduction process is essential for extracting iron from hematite ore.
