The reaction that does NOT take place in a blast furnace between 900 ~K to 1500 ~K temperature range during extraction of iron is :
Options
- AFe ₂ O ₃+ CO 2 FeO + CO ₂
- BFeO + CO Fe + CO ₂
- CC + CO ₂ 2 CO
- DCaO + SiO ₂ CaSiO ₃
Correct answer
A. Fe ₂ O ₃+ CO 2 FeO + CO ₂
Step-by-step solution
At 900-1500 ~K (higher temperature range in the blast furnace) Reaction which take place are: C + CO ₂ 2 CO FeO + CO Fe + CO ₂ CaO + SiO ₂ CaSiO ₃ (Slag formation) Fe ₂ O ₃+ CO 2 FeO + CO ₂ at 500-800 ~K
