  Ironmaking 101 – From Ore to Iron with Blast Furnaces

  20171010 · Iron is mainly extracted from hematite (Fe 2 O 3) and magnetite ores. Natural or direct shipping iron ores contain between 50-70% iron and can be fed directly into the blast furnace. Fe 3 O 4 decomposes when heated to ferrous oxide (FeO) and ferric oxide (Fe 2 O 3) via Fe 3 O 4 → FeO + Fe 2 O 3. A specialized type of coal, called hard coal ...

  Extraction of Iron from Hematite | CIE IGCSE Chemistry …

  3  · Zone 3. Carbon monoxide reduces the iron (III) oxide in the iron ore to form iron. This will melt and collect at the bottom of the furnace, where it is tapped off. iron (III) oxide + carbon monoxide → iron + carbon dioxide. Limestone (calcium carbonate) is added to the furnace to remove impurities in the ore.
