The extraction of iron from its ore, primarily through smelting in a blast furnace, involves the reduction of iron oxides using carbon in the form of coke. This process also utilizes limestone as a flux to remove impurities, forming slag. The high temperatures in the furnace facilitate the reduction reaction, allowing iron to be separated from its ore effectively. Overall, this method is efficient and allows for the large-scale production of iron.
iron smelting gave them superior tools ande weapons.
I think its a blast furnace
through the top of the blast furnace
Pig Iron is a very low grade of Iron, often mixed with scrap metals in the smelting process, that is much less sturdy that normal steel. Making it useless for most tasks one would use Steel for.
One product of coal is coke, which is used as a fuel in industrial processes such as iron smelting.
Being able to produce iron using a more abundant product increased industrial capability....im positive ADDED: The development of iron-smelting - and melting of the finished iron - by coke was indeed vital to the Industrial Revolution, by allowing larger rates of iron production; and coal hence coke was more abundant than the charcoal hitherto used.
These industries use coal to produce coke--a primary ingredient in the smelting of iron
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.
Coke, a form of purified carbon derived from coal, is mixed with iron ore during the process of smelting to act as a reducing agent. This helps to remove oxygen from the iron ore, allowing the iron to be extracted from the 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.
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.
The raw materials used in the extraction of iron are iron ore, coke (made from coal), and limestone. Iron ore is the primary source of iron, while coke is used as a reducing agent and fuel, and limestone helps to remove impurities from the iron ore during the smelting process.

He invented coke smelting. Coke is a fuel with few impurities and a high carbon content, usually made from coal. The carbon monoxide produced by its combustion reduces iron oxide (hematite) in the production of the iron product thus creating a better quality of iron.
The process is called smelting. It involves heating the iron ore in a furnace with a reducing agent such as coke (carbon) to remove the impurities and extract the pure iron metal.
