Answer»
Temperature KChange taking place in the blast furnaceReactions
1. 500 KHaematite ore loses moistureore xH2O → ore
2. 900 KReduction of ore by COFe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO
3. 1200KLimestone decomposesCaCO3 → CaO + CO2
4. 1500KReduction of ore by CFe2O3 + 3C → 2Fe + 3CO
5. 1600 K(i) Reduction of FeO by C
(ii) Fusion of iron and slag formation
FeO + C → Fe + CO
CaO + SiO2 → CaSiO3
6. 2000 KCombustion of coke2C + O → CO
