It's possible to do so (if you mean extract iron from iron pyrite) , but because pyrite is exothermic, it creates a hazard in mines. Also, it is much more economical to extract iron from other minerals. Pyrite is also geologically unstable, and will eventually turn into sulfurous minerals and actually viable iron ores, so it is best left for future mines. Pyrite is really only worth it for making sulfuric acid or jewelry.
What else can I help you with?
What metal is obtained from the ore pyrite?
Well, it is an ore of sulphur and definetly not of gold, as you can buy pyrite at quite a low cost, therefore making it quite poplular for rock collectors. another reason it is popular is because of its interesting crystals and the fact that is looks like gold and people can often mistake it for it (unless you see the price!) hence the name 'fools gold'
What mineral is used as an ore of iron?
Hematite is a common mineral used as an ore of iron. It has a high iron content and is often processed to extract the iron for industrial use.
Is it true or false iron is separated from oxygen by cooling iron ore?
False. Iron is separated from oxygen during the process of smelting iron ore in a blast furnace, where the ore is heated to high temperatures in the presence of carbon (coke) to remove the oxygen and extract the iron. Cooling alone does not separate iron from oxygen in iron ore.
How do miners mine iron?
Miners extract iron ore from the ground through open pit or underground mining methods. In open pit mining, large equipment is used to remove the ore from the ground, while underground mining involves drilling and blasting the ore to extract it. The extracted iron ore is then transported to a processing plant for further refinement.
Is the name of the process of removing iron from ore called smelting?
No, the process of removing iron from ore is called extracting or refining. Smelting is a different process that involves heating the ore to extract metal from it.
An example of an ore?
Iron pyrite
What is pyrite's formula?
Pyrite is an iron ore, which has the chemical formula FeS2 (Iron (II) Sulfide) The sulfide ion present is S22-
Which ore is aluminum extract from?
which ore is aluminum extracted from
Who extracted iron?
Miners extract iron ore from the ground.
Are iron and iron ore the same thing?
No; iron ore is mixed with copper and smelted; the ore needs to be refined to extract pure iron. You cannot make a tool out of ore, but rather with pure iron.
Which element is used to extract iron?
Carbon is commonly used to extract iron from its ore through a process called smelting. Carbon reacts with the oxygen present in the iron ore, reducing it to metallic iron.
What metal is obtained from the ore pyrite?
Well, it is an ore of sulphur and definetly not of gold, as you can buy pyrite at quite a low cost, therefore making it quite poplular for rock collectors. another reason it is popular is because of its interesting crystals and the fact that is looks like gold and people can often mistake it for it (unless you see the price!) hence the name 'fools gold'
A rock that contains a metal or economically useful mineral is called a?
This is a raw material (feedstock).
What mineral is used as an ore of iron?
Hematite is a common mineral used as an ore of iron. It has a high iron content and is often processed to extract the iron for industrial use.
Which metal ore do you m ine to extract steel?
Iron ore is the metal ore mined to extract steel. Iron ore is a key raw material used in the production of steel through a process called smelting, where the iron ore is heated with coke and limestone in a blast furnace to remove impurities and create steel.
What is Blast Furnace?
A blast furnace is used to extract iron from its ore.
How is an iron ore dug up?
Iron ore is typically mined using either open-pit mining or underground mining methods. In open-pit mining, large machines scoop the ore from the surface, while in underground mining, tunnels are dug to access the ore deposits and extract the ore using machinery. The extracted ore is then processed to extract the desired iron content.
