How Iron Was Made. Iron making evolved over a few thousand years. Using the ancient "bloomery" method, iron ore was converted directly into wrought iron by heating the ore while at the same time melting the ore's impurities and squeezing them out with hand hammers. This is also called the "direct process." By the 1100s waterpowered hammers ...

The raw materials mix or "charge" enters the furnace from the top and hot air is blown or blasted from the bottom causing the coke to burn and the oxygen to combine with carbon in the coke to form carbon monoxide. Now, this carbon monoxide that is unstable, reacts with the ore to form carbon dioxide and iron. The Separation Of Iron.

The threelayer process for aluminum refining was developed by Hoopes of the Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa) in the early 1900s. The anode consists of impure aluminum alloyed with 25% copper to give a density of g cm −3 at 1000 °C. The electrolyte typically consists of a cryoliteBaF 2 molten mixture (sometimes containing barium chloride (BaCl 2) or calcium fluoride (CaF 2) with a ...

Iron ore consists of oxygen and iron atoms bonded together into molecules. To create pure iron, one must deoxygenate the ore, leaving only iron atoms behind, which is the essence of the refining process. To coax the oxygen atoms away from the ore requires heat and an alternate atomic partner for the oxygen to bond to.

Metals in solution can be recovered using electrow in a process called electrorefining, which involves performing metalworking operations in an electrolytic cell. Steelmaking refers to the subsequent process of transforming iron ore into a usable form of steel. Primary and secondary steelmaking are the two most common processes used today.

It's a long process which begins with Concentration through calcination roasting. Concentration removes the water and other volatile impurities such as sulphur and carbonates. This concentrated ore is mixed with limestone (CaCO 3) and Coke and fed into the blast furnace from the top. It is in the blast furnace that extraction of iron occurs.
