The Extraction of Iron and Steelmaking
How do we extract iron from its mineral ores like the iron oxide ores haematite and magnetite? How do we convert it into steel? The raw materials needed i.e. limestone, coke, air and iron ore and the chemistry of the blast furnace are fully described. Why convert iron into steel? How do you make steel? The manufacture of steel alloys is further described. Scroll down for revision notes on extraction procedures and theory which should prove useful for school/college assignments/projects on ways of extracting metals from their ores.
Equation note: The equations are often written three times: (i) word equation, (ii) balanced symbol equation without state symbols, and, (iii) with the state symbols (g), (l), (s) or (aq) to give the complete balanced symbol equation.
