Consider an iron blast furnace operation. If an iron ore consisting of separate Fe,O; and Fe;O4 is smelted, and the products contain 55 kg FeQ in slag and 832 kg Fe in pig iron, what are the chemical reactions and corresponding temperatures involved if the total Fe in Fe,O3 and total Fe in Fe;O4 are equal? What are the weights of Fe;O; and Fe;04? Note: The iron oxides are reduced by CO. Input Output Slag Pig iron 55 kg FeQ 832 kg Fe Iron ore Fe203 Fe304 You may create a sample calculation to justify your answer.
