The process that involves the removal of sulphur from the ores is _____. Question Bank with Solutions. Maharashtra Board Question Bank with ...
Iron Extraction and Purification / Steel | ChemKey
Iron ore isn't pure iron oxide – it also contains an assortment of rocky material. This wouldn't melt at the temperature of the furnace, and would eventually clog it up. The limestone is added to convert this into slag which melts and runs to the bottom. The heat of the furnace decomposes the limestone to give calcium oxide.
