Burning coke provides the majority of the heat required for this process. At such high temperatures, Coke reacts with the oxygen in the hot air to form Carbon Monoxide (CO). The CO and heat now move upwards and meet the raw material running down from the top.

The role of coke in the extraction of iron from its oxides is that it reduces the iron oxide to molten iron metal. Coke also when burnt in the blast furnace, supplies the heat required for carrying out the extraction of iron from its oxide.
hope it help
