Iron can be produced by reacting iron oxide with carbon in a blast furnace. What type of reaction produces the iron?

We see a reduction reaction stripping the oxygen from iron in a blast furnace. Carbon in the form of coke is added to the furnace to facilitate the reaction. This is the primary chemical reaction that is used to produce iron on an industrial scale. In the reaction, iron oxide and carbon yield iron and carbon dioxide. It looks like this in its balanced form: 2Fe2O3 + 3C → 4Fe + 3CO2 It is generally thought that carbon monoxide is the actual reducing agent that "steals" the oxygen from the iron to leave it in its elemental state, but what is posted above is the commonly published information.

Is iron oxide ruduced or oxidised in a blast furnace?
It is 96% iron (the rest is mostly sulphur etc.).
What is the chemical reaction used to separate silicon from quartz?
The quartz is heated with carbon in an electric furnace at 3000 degrees C. After the silicon is about 98%
What mass of iron can be obtained from 3.80 g iron oxide reacting with excess carbon monoxide?

How much carbon dioxide is reduced per million btu's?
Carbon dioxide emissions vary depending on the fuel. Natural gas (the cleanest fuel) produces about 117 lb CO2/106BTU. Coal, on the oter hand, produces about 225 lb CO2/106BTU. Liquid fuels (gasoline, diesel and furnace fuel) are in the middle of the range.

What are the benefits of using a home furnace?
There are a number of potential benefits in using a home furnace. A natural gas burning furnace produces lower emissions than other forms of heating. It is said that homes heated through a furnace feel warmer than other methods.

What does a furnace do?
An industrial furnace or direct fired heater, is an equipment used to provide heat for a process or can serve as reactor which provides heats of reaction. Furnace designs vary as to its function, heating duty, type of fuel and method of introducing combustion air.

phosphorus And then scroll down to 'Exp. 26: Retort and furnace arranged'
Why does a blast furnace need to be as hot as 1500?
For increasing of reaction rate and decreasing of coke and full fuel consumption
