What metal is produced when iron ore is mixed with limestone and coke in a blast funace?

Iron. The iron may later have other materials added, and become steel.


Which three substances are put into the blast furnace?

In a blast furnace, iron ore (Fe2O3), coke (carbon), and limestone (CaCO3) are commonly used. Iron ore is the source of iron, coke acts as a fuel and reduces the iron ore to iron, and limestone helps remove impurities by forming a slag.


What three raw materials are used to make pig iron?

The three raw materials used to make pig iron are iron ore, coke (a type of coal), and limestone. Iron ore is the primary source of iron, coke is used as a fuel and reducing agent, and limestone helps remove impurities from the iron ore during the smelting process.


How do you remove iron from iron ore?

Iron ore comes as a mixture of Ferric and Ferrous Oxide (forms of iron oxide). At the smelter it is mixed with coke and limestone. The coke is the reducing compound. The limestone or some other substance is the flux. Coke is made from heating coal to a high temperature. The coke becomes almost pure carbon. The mixture is placed into a large brick lined open top furnace. It is set on fire. The oxygen from iron is transferred to the coke. It turns into Carbon dioxide. The iron oxide turns into iron. The limestone mixed with the impurities in the iron ore becomes slag. From time to time a door in the side is opened up to let out liquid iron and slag. The liquid iron is sent to the next process where it may be turned into steel. The slag becomes like glass.


Where is iron made and what is the process involved in its production?

Iron is primarily made in blast furnaces, which are large structures used to produce iron from iron ore. The process involves heating iron ore, coke (a type of coal), and limestone in the furnace to high temperatures. This causes the iron ore to react with the coke to produce molten iron, which is then extracted and cooled to form solid iron.


What is the process of iron smelting?

Iron ore is not normally smelted, instead it is reduced in a blast furnace with a mixture of coke & limestone. The coke burns removing the oxygen from the iron ore and melting the resulting iron. The limestone neutralizes acidic sulfur compounds and acts as a flux.


What substance are mixed with iron ore in the blast furnace?

Coke (a form of carbon) and limestone are mixed with iron ore in the blast furnace. Coke provides the heat source for the chemical reaction, while limestone helps to remove impurities from the iron ore.


What quantities of Iron Ore Coke Limestone air and water in a ton of pig iron?
