Q: What is the primary method for extracting iron from its ore?
Solution:
Iron is primarily extracted from its ore using carbon reduction in a blast furnace.
Steps: 7
Show Steps
Step 1: Find iron ore, which is a rock that contains iron minerals.
Step 2: Crush the iron ore into small pieces to make it easier to process.
Step 3: Mix the crushed iron ore with carbon (usually in the form of coke) and limestone.
Step 4: Place the mixture into a blast furnace, which is a large oven.
Step 5: Heat the blast furnace to a very high temperature (around 1500 degrees Celsius).
Step 6: The carbon reacts with the oxygen in the iron ore, removing it and leaving behind molten iron.
Step 7: The molten iron is collected at the bottom of the furnace and can be poured into molds to cool and solidify.
