NO!!! Its primary purpose is to REDUCE iron ore to iron.
Iron ore is the commercial name for iron(III)oxide ( Ferric Oxide). (Fe2O3)
In the Blast Furnace , carbon forms carbon monoxide. , from the coke(carbon) and oxygen ( hot air blast).
2C + O2 = 2CO
CO(carbon monoxide) is a very good reducing agent.
Hence
Fe2O3 + 3CO = 2Fe + 3CO2
The CO2 is not released into the atmosphere, but undergoes reduction to form more CO.
NB THere are many more secondary reactions going on in the Blast Furnace.

Why slag layer is above the layer of iron in blast furnace?
Slag is intentionally placed above the layer of iron in a blast furnace to create a protective barrier. The slag layer acts as insulation, preventing the molten iron from exposure to the air and preventing oxidation. This helps maintain the temperature needed for the iron to be extracted from the ores.
What is the products of blast furnace?
The main products of a blast furnace are pig iron (used to make steel) and slag (a byproduct that is used in construction materials).
Why is a blast furnace called blast furnace?
how does the blast furnace maintain the heat ?what is the function of CaCO3 ?how the slag protect the molten iron ?why does iron flow down to the bottom /how does the slag and molten iron get seperated ?what is use of waste gas /what is main impurity of iron in blast furnace ?
What is the viscosity of slag of blast furnace?
The viscosity of slag in a blast furnace typically ranges from 1 to 10 Pa.s (Pascal-seconds) at typical operating temperatures. Viscosity can vary based on factors such as temperature, composition of the slag, and other process conditions within the blast furnace.
What is the function iron ore in a blast furnace?
Iron ore is used in a blast furnace as a raw material for producing iron. It is the primary source of iron, which is essential for the production of steel. The iron ore undergoes a series of chemical reactions in the blast furnace, resulting in the extraction of molten iron.
What is the German word for blast furnace?
Blast furnace = Hochofen
What is Blast Furnace?
A blast furnace is used to extract iron from its ore.
Why blast furnace called as blast furnace?
Its because air is forced into the furnace to increase temperature. Steve.
When was Govăjdia Blast Furnace created?
Govăjdia Blast Furnace was created in 1810.
What Is A Blast Furnace?
A blast furnace is a forge in which ore is smelted to meal, being intensified by a blast of hot air.
How does limestone coke and iron ore get into the blast furnace?
through the top of the blast furnace
Where is the Largest blast furnace of Asia?

What do you all a furnace in a factory?
A blast furnace.
How is slag collected from a blast furnace?
iron is collected from blast furnace by drilling the taphole.Taphole is a hole drill and plug after cycle of time located in blast furnace bottom.
What is the volume of a blast furnace?
Useful Volume of Blast Furnace is the volume of the furnace from the throat level to the level where the taphole is placed. This is known the way basically because that is the region where the useful products from Blast furnace are present.
Is blast furnace a batch furnace?
A blast furnace runs continuously, and input materials are continually dumped in at the top to make their way down through the furnace. Shutting down a blast furnace for relining or other work is a major event in its life.
What is a furnace for heating metals called?
Blast furnace .
