The purest form of iron is prepared by oxidising impurities from cast iron in a reverberatory furnace. Which iron ore is used to line the furnace? Explain by giving a reaction.

The iron ore which is used to line the reverberatory furnace is Haematite ore (Fe2O3).

Example:

In the following reaction,

Haematite ore forms iron and CO.

Fe2O3 + 3 C → 2 Fe + 3CO
