In the reverberatory furance

The purest form of iron is prepared by oxidising impurities from cast iron in a reverberatory furnace. Which iron ore is used to line the furnace? Explain by giving reaction.

Choose the correct option the code regarding roasting process. (I) It is the process of heating the ore in air in a reverberatory furnace to obtain the oxide. (II) It is an exothermic process. (III) It is used for the concentration of sulphide ore. (Iv) It removes easily oxidisable volatile impurities present in the concentrated ore.

Assertion: In extraction of copper from chalcopyrite after roasting in supply of air ai moderate temperature, the temperature of the roasting ore is increased above the fusion temperature and then silica is added in reverberatory furnace. Reason: In the extraction of copper from chalcopyrites during smelting, the impurity of iron is removed as fusible slag (FeSIO_(3)) in blast furnace or reverberatory furnace.

Statement-1:Galena on heating in a reverberatory furnace above the melting point of metal gives metallic lead. Statement-2: Galena is partically converted to PbO and PbSO_(4) which ar reduced by excess galena to metallic lead.

The chief ores of iron are haemalite (Fe_2O_3) , magnetite (Fe_3O_4) , limonite (FeO(OH)) and siderite (FeCO_3) .In the extraction of iron , oxides ores of iron, after concentration through calcination/roasting in reverberatory furnace are mixed with lime stone and coke and fed into a blast furnace. Here, the oxide is reduced to the metal. Which of the following is obtained as a slag in the extraction of iron from haematite ore ?
