Which among following processes occurs at 1500 ~K in blast furnace for extraction of iron?
Options
- AReduction of ore
- BOre loses moisture
- CCombustion of coke
- DSlag formation
Correct answer
D. Slag formation
Step-by-step solution
The slag formed in the extraction of iron from haematite in the blast furnace is CaSiO ₃ . The reaction in the blast furnace is as follows: CaO + SiO ₂ CaSiO ₃ (slag)
