Which among following processes occurs at \(1500 \mathrm{~K}\) in blast furnace for extraction of iron?

  1. A Reduction of ore
  2. B Ore loses moisture
  3. C Combustion of coke
  4. D Slag formation
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Slag formation

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The slag formed in the extraction of iron from haematite in the blast furnace is \(\mathrm{CaSiO}_{3}\). The reaction in the blast furnace is as follows:
\(\mathrm{CaO}+\mathrm{SiO}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{CaSiO}_{3} \text { (slag) }\)
