Technically pure iron is produced by pyrometallurgy. Firstly, iron ore is reduced to pig iron in a blast furnace, then excessive carbon is removed by the basic oxygen furnace (BOF) or electric arc furnace (EAF), and impurities are further eliminated via a secondary refining route, through which the required purity level is achieved.
