Iron Ore Smelting Process. The ore is loaded into a blast furnace along with measured quantities of coke and limestone. Hot combustion air is supplied to the furnace and some form of fuel used to raise the temperature. The iron is reduced from the ore by carbon in the coke, the limestone aiding slag separation from the molten iron.

This is where the chemical reactions start. The powdered, enriched ore is heated in air between 500°C and 700°C to remove some sulphur and dry the ore, which is still a solid called calcine. Smelting with fluxes A flux is a substance which is added to the ore to make it melt more easily. The solid calcine is heated to 1200°C and melts.
