In a blast furnace, hot air is blown into the bottom to burn coke, and the heat produced causes a sequence of chemical reactions that allow carbon to reduce iron oxide to iron. Understanding this process is key to grasping how modern steel production works. This article explores the essential role carbon plays as a reducing agent in turning raw iron ore into usable metal.
