Get PriceIt is in the blast furnace that extraction of iron occurs. The extraction of iron from its ore is a long and subdued process, that helps in separating the useful components from the waste materials such as slag. What happens in the Blast Furnace The purpose of a Blast Furnace is to reduce the concentrated ore chemically to its liquid metal state.
Get PriceAfter the addition of silica , the mixture is heated in the absence of air to convert the iron II oxide into a slag of iron II silicate, which is poured away. The copper I Sulphide is now reduced to copper by heating in a controlled amount of air Extraction of Zinc. Zinc is usually extracted from its ore zinc blende, and calamine .
Get PriceSep 23, 2019 The extraction of iron from its ore is the third and the penultimate process in metallurgy, which is the process of separating metals from their ores. The common ores of iron are iron oxides. These oxides can be reduced to iron by heating them with carbon in the form of coke. Heating coal in the absence of air produces coke.
