One can review the blast furnace from a simple viewpoint as a process inwhich the principle reaction is:Fe2O3 + 3C 2Fe + 3COBut some other undesired side reactions occur, mainly:Fe2O3 + C 2FEO + COAfter mixing 600.0 lb of carbon with 1.00 ton of pure iron dioxide, Fe2O3,the process produces 1200.0 lb of pure iron, 183 lb FeO, and 85.0 lb ofFe2O3. Calculate the following items:a. thepercentage of excess carbon furnished, based on the principlereactionb. the percentage conversion of Fe2O3 to Fec. the pounds of carbon used up and the pounds of CO produced per ton ofFe2O3 chargedd. what is the selectivity in this process (of Fe with respect to FeO)

Solution - According to the question - Given -

Öne can review the blast furnace from a simple viewpoint as a process in which the principle reaction is: FegO3 +3C - 2Fe + 3CO But some other undesired side reactions occur, mainly: FegO3 + C 2FEO + CO After mixing 600.0 lb of carbon with 1.00 ton of pure iron dioxide, Fe2O3, the process produces 1200.0 lb of pure iron, 183 lb Fe0, and 85.0 lb of Fe2O3. Calculate the following items: a. the percentage of excess carbon furnished, based on the principle reaction b. the percentage conversion of Fe2O3 to Fe c. the pounds of carbon used up and the pounds of CO produced per ton of Fe2O3 charged d. what is the selectivity in this process (of Fe with resnect to Fo0)
