Which reducing agents are used to reduce haematite ore into metallic iron? |
|
Answer» Haematite ore is reduced using coke and CO. Carbon in the coke is converted to carbon monoxide. Carbon and carbon monoxide together reduce Fe2O3 to metallic iron. Fe2O3 + 3C → 2Fe + 3CO. Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2. |
