because co2 is highly flamable.

it is a mixture of carbon and oxygen.

its combanation is carbon one and oxygen two.

(yes im a little nerdy at this stuff. lolz.)

What is the waste gas produced in the blast furnace?

The waste gas produced in the blast furnace is primarily carbon dioxide (CO2) along with other gases such as carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and nitrogen oxides (NOx).


What is the affect solution loss reaction in blast furnace?

solution loss reaction is occured in stack region , here CO2 react with solid C and give CO then it will good in term of producing reducing gas but at the same time it losses carbon in stack region which affected the permeability bed of coke and whole blast furnace operation depends on it .


Which exothermic reaction causes the temperature to rise in the blast furnace in reduction of hematite using coke in the blast furnace?

The exothermic reaction that causes the temperature to rise in the blast furnace during the reduction of hematite using coke is the combustion of carbon (C) in coke with oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and release heat energy. This reaction helps maintain the high temperatures necessary for the reduction of hematite to iron.


Is a blast furnace oxidation?

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.


Can carbon monoxide be involved in the extraction of iron from hematite?

No, carbon monoxide is not typically used in the extraction of iron from hematite. Instead, the reduction of hematite to iron is commonly done using carbon (in the form of coke) in a blast furnace to produce pig iron.
