Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The process of extraction of metal by heating roasted ore with coke in the presence of a flux is called smelting. It is done in blast furnace. Iron is extracted by this process.

F e_{2} O_{3} + 3 C > 1123 K 2 F e + 3 COF e_{2} O_{3} + 3 CO 1123 K 2 F e + 3 C O_{2}
