While adding the raw materials into the Blast furnace for the extraction of iron, it is forgotten to mix lime stone with the change. a. Predict the result of this mistake b. Give reason for this result. c. Bessemer converter follows Blast furnace in a steel industry Justify.

Explanation

a. Metal production and removal of impurity are not șatisfactory,
b. If limestone is not added, production of .CO_2. and CaO. become poor. .CaO. is a flux .t o^2. remove acidic inpurity SiO ._2.
(basic) , (acidic) (neutral)
c. Blast furnàce produces pig iron and is converted to cast iron on remelting. This cast iron is used in bessemer converter to produce steel. So blast furnace is followed by a bessemer converter in a steel industry.
