Question

Answer 1

limestone is used as fluxing material to remove impurities from the molten hematite

Answer 2

As we are becoming more modern and industrial day by day we are hugely using different metals like iron in our daily lives.

Haematite is one of most popular raw mineral iron types which we use to manufacture different objects.

When we extract pig iron from the raw haematite we use limestones as flux agent to separate the dirt and other unnecessary objects from the pure iron.
