Write the complete set of reactions occuring in the zone of reduction in the blast furnace, in the metallurgy of iron.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In Elingham diagram the graph of CO`toCO_2` conversion below `FetoFe_2O_3` upto 1073 k(for `Feto FeO`).So.CO(g) acts as reducing agent upto this temperature.
`3Fe_2O_3+COto2Fe_3O_4(i.e.FeO.Fe_2O_3)+CO_2`
`Fe_3O_4+COto3FeO+CO_2`
`FeO+COtoFe+CO_2`
Also graph of `CtoCO` is below the `FetoFe_2O_3`after 1123 k. So,carbon acid as reducing agent above this temperature.
`Fe_2O_3+Cto3CO+2Fe`
