Purpose of using coke in iron making raw materials
It can capture the oxygen atoms in iron oxide or magnetic iron oxide to form carbon dioxide. The reaction equation is as follows:3C+2 (Fe2O3) = ==3 (CO2) +2Fe at high temperature2C+ (Fe3O4) = ==2 (CO2) +3Fe at high temperature
The coke can provide the heat required for the reaction and has the reducibility
Purpose as follows:1. Provide the heat required for the reaction2, do reducing agent, generate CO, at the same time itself can also restore the iron
