Question

explain the reaction in blast furnace with equations​

Answer 1

Answer:

The main chemical reaction producing the molten iron is:

Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO.

This reaction might be divided into multiple steps, with the first being that preheated blast air blown into the furnace reacts with the carbon in the form of coke to produce carbon monoxide and heat:

2 C(s) + O2(g) → 2 CO.
