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.
