A metal ore is a rock that contains enough of the metal to make it worthwhile extracting. They have to be extracted from their ores through processes such as electrolysis, using a blast furnace or by reacting with more reactive material. In many cases the ore is an oxide of the metal, therefore the extraction of these metals is a reduction ...

When we add limestone to a blast furnace, the calcium carbonate decomposes to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. The calcium oxide then reacts with silicon dioxide in the charge mixture. This silicon dioxide is present as sandy impurities, which exist in the hematite ore. With this information, we can see that the answer is likely to be A ...

The Blast Furnace (BF) is a furnace used in the iron-making process. It uses iron ore and limestone as input, metallurgical coal (converted to coke) as a reducing agent, and creates pig iron (also known as crude iron or hot metal) as output. This pig iron can then be used in other furnaces, like the Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) or Electric …

Iron making. The primary objective of iron making is to release iron from chemical combination with oxygen, and, since the blast furnace is much the most efficient process, it receives the most attention here. Alternative methods known as direct reduction are used in over a score of countries, but less than 5 percent of iron is made this way. A third group …

The input requirements for 16th century blast furnaces were large. Though fuel consumption had fallen to roughly the level of the bloomery furnace (initially it used much more fuel than a bloomery), producing a ton of pig iron still required roughly 4.5-5 tons of charcoal, and 5.5-7 tons of iron ore.

What is left is iron. The blast furnace's height lets the rising gases preheat the ore and gives the iron more distance to descend as it softens – so it absorbs more carbon from the fuel. Because iron's melting point falls as its carbon content rises, the iron becomes fully molten. A calcium-based "flux," usually limestone, is added.
