Extraction of Iron
Explanation:
Iron is extracted from the iron ore to feed the global iron and steel industries. Iron is essential for steel production, which is vital for a strong industrial base. The two most common ores of iron are hematite (Fe2O3) and magnetite (Fe3O4).
The chemical reaction for producing molten iron in a blast furnace is as follows:
Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO
