The reaction that does NOT take place in a blast furnace between 900 K to 1500 K temperature range during extraction of iron is :Fe2O3+CO→2FeO+CO2FeO+CO→Fe+CO2C+CO2→2COCaO+SiO2→CaSiO3
Question
The reaction that does NOT take place in a blast furnace between 900 K to 1500 K temperature range during extraction of iron is :Fe2O3+CO→2FeO+CO2FeO+CO→Fe+CO2C+CO2→2COCaO+SiO2→CaSiO3
Solution
The reaction that does not take place in a blast furnace between 900 K to 1500 K temperature range during extraction of iron is:
C + CO2 → 2CO
This reaction is the Boudouard reaction, which actually occurs at temperatures above 1500 K. Therefore, it does not occur in the blast furnace during the extraction of iron, as the temperature range in the furnace is between 900 K and 1500 K.
