    Iron Is Extracted From Iron Ore in A Blast Furnace.: Leave Blank

    Iron is extracted from iron ore in a blast furnace. Coke is burned in hot air which provides the carbon monoxide needed to reduce iron(III) oxide to molten iron. Limestone decomposes to calcium oxide which removes silicon dioxide impurities as slag. Blast furnaces use hot air blasted into the bottom to facilitate these high-temperature extraction reactions. Aluminum cannot be extracted via blast furnace because its ore melts at a much lower temperature than the furnace operates at.
