Calcium carbonate (limestone) is used in blast furnaces to capture impurities and form a slag that floats above the molten iron to keep the impurities from mixing back into the iron.

What is the product of iron sulfate plus calcium carbonate?

The product of iron sulfate reacting with calcium carbonate is iron carbonate and calcium sulfate. The iron from the iron sulfate displaces the calcium in the calcium carbonate to form iron carbonate, while the sulfate from the iron sulfate combines with the calcium to form calcium sulfate.


Will calcium carbonate react with iron sulphate?

Yes, a reaction between calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and iron sulfate (FeSO4) is possible. However, the reaction will not be immediate because calcium carbonate is insoluble in water. Over time, the calcium carbonate may react with the iron sulfate to form iron carbonate and calcium sulfate, as iron can displace calcium from its carbonate.

How does limestone purify iron?

It removes the sandy impurities in the iron formed as 'slag' [calcium silicate] CaCO3---> CaO + CO2 CaO + SiO2 ----> CaSiO3.


In addition to carbon carbonate minerals contain .?

Calcium, oxygen, and carbon are common elements found in carbonate minerals. Other elements such as magnesium, iron, and manganese can also be present depending on the specific mineral. These elements combine with carbonate ions to form minerals such as calcite (calcium carbonate) and dolomite (calcium magnesium carbonate).
