Question

why coal are used in the industry of iron and steel​

Answer 1

Answer:

Coking coal is a key raw material in steel production. As iron occurs only as iron oxides in the earth's crust, the ores must be converted, or 'reduced', using carbon. The primary source of this carbon is coking coal. ... Coke reduces iron ore to molten iron saturated with carbon, called hot metal.
