Iron is mainly extracted from hematite (Fe 2 O 3) and magnetite ores. Natural or direct shipping iron ores contain between 50-70% iron and can be fed directly into the blast furnace. Fe 3 O 4 decomposes when heated to ferrous oxide (FeO) and ferric oxide (Fe 2 O 3) via Fe 3 O 4 → FeO + Fe 2 O 3. A specialized type of coal, called hard coal ...

The blast furnace uses coke, iron ore and limestone to produce pig iron. Coal traditionally has been a key part of the coke-making process. The coal is crushed and ground into a powder and then charged into an oven where it is heated to approximately 1800°F in the absence of oxygen. As the oven is heated, the coal begins to melt so most of the ...

4.2 Plasma processing of siliceous type iron ore. For this study, partially reduced briquettes made from iron minerals were collected from an industry in the vicinity of Rourkela, Odisha, India. Briquettes upon solid state reduction at 1250°C are partially melted which hinders further reduction at higher temperatures.
