EXTRACTION OF IRON: APPLICATION OF METALLURGY

Iron is extracted from iron ore in the field and it is extracted in a huge container that is called a blast furnace. In this field of study, it can be seen that iron ore contains iron oxide such as hematite. Iron oxide can be said in this field as it contains hematite in this aspect, and it is Fe2O3. The readers can get a clear idea from this study as it contains a detailed description of iron extraction as well as the application of metallurgy. This is the importance of this study that denotes the different factors of this field. The study is going to discuss different sources of iron, metal things and also iron elements.     

Iron sources

Iron is the most common substance and most commonly it can be seen that magnetite and hematite are the minerals from where iron can be extracted. It is also important in this field that the source of iron can also be the minerals like siderite, limonite, taconite and all of them are important factors in this field. An important factor in this field is that iron has different sources but the very first source of iron is a meteorite. A meteorite is considered to be a fragmental part of the sinkhole-alin, and the most valuable factor of this field is that it contains 6% of nickel, 93% of iron, and 1% of other elements.    

What is metal?

Metal is nothing but a kind of solid material and it is shiny, hard, fusible, malleable, and ductile. This particular material is known as metal and contains the power of good thermal and electrical conductivity.  It can be also defined as a good source of electricity or a good conductor of heat in this field. Maximum materials can be seen as ductile in nature and this is considered to be a feature of metal. Metal is very helpful in the formation of positive ions and it also contains metallic bonds.    

Iron element

Iron is considered to be the fourth element that is abundant, and its mass can be seen as the crust of Earth. The Earth’s core in this field can be mentioned as that it is filled with iron and contains sulfur and nickel. Iron is a chemical element and it is also a metal that belongs to Group 8 of the periodic table. It can be called a cheap material. Iron is described as an element and it is because iron is a pure substance. In this field iron is a pure substance and here the atoms cannot be divided.      

What is the method of iron extraction?

Three main methods can be seen for the extraction of metal and it is from the metal ore. Three main methods of it are- electrolysis for molten reduction, reduction of the ore with the help of carbon, and reduction of the ore with a reactive metal. The process of extracting metal from their ore is called metallurgy, and it is a very significant process in this field. The extraction of iron happens from the hematite and it is the blast furnace.    

What is meant by the metallurgy of iron?

Metallurgy of iron is called the process of extraction of iron from its ores, and also the preparation of crude iron for its conversion to steel. In this field, extraction of iron involves the conversion of materials that have the capacity to be iron-bearing, and the conversion happens into metallic iron. Iron-making is a process and is a most common term that includes the industrial process and helps in the conversion of raw materials into metallic iron. Extraction of metal

The matter in this field can be said that it is a characterization of a substance having mass and space for consumption, and also has volume. It is an obvious fact that metals have been extracted from their ore through different stages, and it is called a process of it. The stages of extraction depend upon the nature of the impurities of the ore, and also on its reactivity. The process of refinement and extraction of metal is generally known as metallurgy. The processes are as follows-

• The concentration of the ore
• Extraction of metal from the concentrated ore
• Refining of the impure metal  

Conclusion

The study deals with the extraction of iron and also the concept of metallurgy. Metallurgy in this field is known as the process of extraction of iron and the study also gives the idea about the concept of metal. The aspect of an iron source is described in this field and it also defines iron elements. In this field, a clear idea about the whole process of extraction has been given and it helps in the justification of this study.
