Question
The reaction(s) which does (do) not occur in the reduction zone in the extraction of iron from haematite ore is (are) :
Options
A.Fe2O3 + CO → 2 FeO + CO2
B.FeO + CO → Fe + CO2
C.Fe2O3 + 3C → 2Fe + 3CO
D.CaO + SiO2 → CaSiO3
Solution
C + O2 → CO2 (combustion zone)
C + CO2 → 2CO (fusion zone) ; FeO + C → Fe + CO (fusion zone)
CaO + SiO2 → CaSiO3 (slag formation zone) ; FeO + CO → Fe + CO2 (slag formation zone)
3Fe2O3 + CO → 2Fe3O4 + CO2 (reduction zone) ; Fe3O4 + CO → 3FeO + CO2 (reduction zone)
C + CO2 → 2CO (fusion zone) ; FeO + C → Fe + CO (fusion zone)
CaO + SiO2 → CaSiO3 (slag formation zone) ; FeO + CO → Fe + CO2 (slag formation zone)
3Fe2O3 + CO → 2Fe3O4 + CO2 (reduction zone) ; Fe3O4 + CO → 3FeO + CO2 (reduction zone)
