Pig iron is generally an intermediate product of the wrought iron and steel making process. Pig iron is virtually useless due to the very high impurity content. "Pure" is a strange quantification of the comparison between pig iron and wrought iron. Pig iron is pure pig iron and wrought iron is pure wrought iron if there is a "standard" for the respective materials. I'm guessing that the answer you want is that wrought iron is "more pure."

Production of Pig Iron?
Pig iron is regular iron. The "pig" part is from an older method of producing the molten iron. It was poured into a trough on the floor, and spread out into multiple side-troughs. After cooling, these side-troughs and main trough were broken up and shipped off. Diagram of cooling-troughs: I I I I I I I I I I I I -----+----+----+-----+----+----+---------- I I I I I I I I I I I I Do you see it? the center trough (------) looks like a mother PIG, and the side-troughs (I) are the PIGLETS nursing on her side. See Wikipedia for explanation of why pig iron is a low quality form of iron.
What can pig iron be used for?
pig iron is a term modern blacksmith use for an iron alloy used in forging many basic tools
Where did the phrase sweat like a pig come from?
The phrase "sweating like a pig" actually has nothing to do with the animal that you might find on a farm. Instead, it refers to iron "sows" and "piglets" made when smelting pig iron. In traditional iron smelting, liquid iron is poured into a mold shaped like one long line with many smaller lines branching off of it at right angles. This looks similar to piglets feeding from their mother, so these pieces became known as pigs. After the pigs are poured into the sand, they cool, causing the surrounding air to reach its dew point and turn into moisture on the pigs, like they are sweating. When the pig is sweating, it's cool enough to be moved.

What are the differences between pig iron and wrought iron in terms of their properties and uses?
Pig iron is brittle and contains high carbon content, making it unsuitable for shaping. Wrought iron is malleable and has low carbon content, making it ideal for forging into shapes. Pig iron is mainly used in steel production, while wrought iron is used for decorative purposes and in construction.
Which substance has minimum quantity of carbon among steel pig iron wrought iron and cast iron?
Wrought iron has the least amount of carbon among steel, pig iron, wrought iron, and cast iron. Wrought iron typically contains less than 0.1% carbon, making it more ductile and less brittle compared to the others.
Types of iron?

Purest form of iron is?
Wrought iron is purer than pig iron. When purifying iron ore in a furnace furnace, air is passed through a "charge" of iron ore, limestone, and some form of carbon, charcoal or coal. This "smelting" process is a chemical change: the molten iron produced is tapped from the furnace as "pig" iron. Pig iron is iron with a high carbon content as well as some sulfur. Due to it's impurities pig iron has a lower melting point and is acceptable for casting but not forging. Wrought Iron is made much the same way with the exception of the carbon source being used is coke, a purified form of bituminous coal. Coke being a purer form of carbon burns smokeless and imparts little to no carbon to the iron allowing more impurities to burn out. This byproduct is wrought iron. Wrought iron is acceptable for either casting or forging.
What are the uses iron ore?

What is an iron production?
The production of iron or steel is a process containing two main stages, unless the desired product is cast iron. The first stage is to produce pig iron in a blast furnace. Alternatively, it may be directly reduced. The second is to make wrought iron or steel from pig iron by a further process.
