How is Iron Extracted from Iron Ore Physical Science Iron is an element that has the chemical symbol Fe It is a metal that has been used since prehistory by the Ancient Egyptians and Sumerians as early as BC These ancient peoples were able to get pure iron from meteorites that fell to the earth and they used it in the tips of Most important it releases oxygen from the iron ore which makes up a high percentage of common iron or The most primitive facility used to smelt iron is a bloomery There a blacksmith burns charcoal with iron ore and a good supply of oxygen provided by a bellows or blower Charcoal is

Most metals are extracted from ore found in the Earth s crust An ore is a rock that contains enough of a metal or a metal compound to make extracting the metal worthwhile Extracting iron Iron ores are rocks and mineral deposits from which clanging iron can be reasonably extracted Iron ore mining is classified into two categories manual mining and mechanized mining methods Haematite and magnetite are the most commonly found iron ore minerals Deposits of iron ore such as haematite containing iron oxide are found in sedimentary rocks from which the oxygen is removed from the

May 24 32 Discussion Extracting iron from low quality ore selfPrimitiveTechnology submitted 2 years ago by thamag Hello I was wondering if anyone had knowledge of how low concentration iron ore it is possible to extract iron from using whatever method I ve found tons of rocks that seem to have qualities that would indicate iron content but I doubt How to extract iron from its ore The method Three substances are needed to enable to extraction of iron from its ore The combined mixture is called the charge Iron ore haematite often contains sand with iron oxide Fe2O3 Limestone calcium carbonate Coke mainly carbon The charge is placed a giant chimney called a blast furnace The blast furnace is around 30 metres high and lined

to be extracted by a process called electrolysis Metals with low chemical activity such a gold and silver are normally found in their pure state Copper tin lead and iron are more reactive and must be heated with carbon to extract the metals Aluminum calcium sodium and other active metals are extracted using electrolysisMethods of extraction Many metals are found in the Earth s crust as or An ore is usually a compound of the metal mixed with impuriti When the metal is dug up a method must be used to separate the metal from the rest of the ore This is called extracting the metal The method of extraction depends on how reactive the metal is The more reactive the metal the more difficult it is to
