The coke in the charge of blast furnace
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
The coke in the charge of blast furnace Supplies heat to reduce ore and melt the iron.
The coke is a source of carbon monoxide which will reduce the iron oxide in the ore to iron and the carbon monoxide oxidizes to carbon dioxide.
The limestone acts as a flux to remove other impurities and help the iron physically separate from the rest of the burden.
