उत्तर
Reaction in blast firnace during metallurgy of Fe at 500 K – 800 K involves.
3Fe2O3 + CO → 2Fe3O4 + CO2
3Fe2O4 + 4CO → 3Fe + 4CO2
Fe2O4 + CO → 2FeO + CO2
Reduction of iron oxides takes place. Limestone is added, during metallurgy as it decomposes to CaO at high temperature in funace.
\[\ce{ CaCO3{(s)} ->[\Delta]} CaO(s) + CO{2(g)}\]
Calcium oxide removes silicate impurity of ore as slag. Slag in molten state floats on molten iron metal, hence can be easily removed.
