blast furnace makes pig iron containing 3.6% C, 1.4% Si and 95% Fe. The ore used contains 80% FE2O3, 12% SiO2 and 8% Al2O3. The coke analysis shows the presence of 10% SiO2 and 90% C. The flux used is pure CaCO3. The exit gases contain 28% CO and 14% CO2. The coke ratio is 1000 kg/t pig iron. Flux is 400 kg/t pig iron. Calculate per tonne of pig iron: (a) the weight of the slag made, (b) the weight of the ore used, (c) the composition of slag the air required at NTP.

Copper is produced from chalcopyrite concentrate from a mixed type ore containing 1.2% CuFeS2 (chalcopyrite) and 6% Cu3 (CO3) 2 (OH) 2 (azurite) by sulfating roasting leaching method. 4 tons of chalcopyrite concentrate is roasted daily. If it is assumed that the amount of iron in the solution is 20% under the same conditions, how much copper is produced in 1 day?
One can view the blast furnace from a simple viewpoint as a process in which the principal reaction is: Fe2O3 + C → Fe + CO But some other undesirable side reactions occur, mainly Fe2O3 +C → FeO+CO After mixing 600 lb of carbon (coke) with 1.00 ton of pure iron oxide, Fe2O3, the process produces 1200 lb of pure iron, 183 lb of FeO and 85 lb of Fe2O3. Calculate the pounds of carbon used up and the pounds of CO produced per ton of Fe2O3 charged and the selectivity in this process (of Fe with respect to FeO).
Impure nickel, refined by smelting sulfide ores in a blast furnace, can be convertedinto metal from 99.90% to 99.99% purity by the Mond process. The primaryreaction involved in the Mond process is:Ni(s) + 4CO(g) ⇌ Ni(CO)4(g)In the second step of the Mond process, the gaseous Ni(CO)4 is isolated andheated to 227°C. The purpose of this step is to deposit as much nickel as possibleas pure solid (the reverse of the preceding reaction). Calculate the equilibriumconstant for the preceding reaction at 227°C.
The production of high-grade iron from hematite and magnetite using a blast furnace involves several reactions as described above. Write the balance step for each reaction. 1. Main source of heat: reaction between air and coke. b. Reaction at the bottom of the furnace: carbon dioxide reacts with unburnt coke toproduce carbon monoxide.
A 1.1324 g sample of magnetite ore was dissolved in concentrated HCl to give a solution that contained a mixture of Fe2+ and Fe3+. Nitric acid was added and the solution was boiled for a few minutes, which converted all of the iron to Fe3+. The Fe3+ was then precipitated as Fe2O3*xH2O by addition of NH3. After filtration and washing, the residue was ignited at a high temp to give 0.5394 g of pure Fe2O3. What is the percent Fe and the percent Fe3O4 in the sample?

A prospector wants to know how much gold is in the ore that he has been mining. A sample weighing 11.2456 grams is dissolved in Aqua Regia (a mixture of HCl and HNO3). That sample is then transferred to a 200.00 mL volumetric flask and diluted to the mark with water. This is called solution 1. A volumetric pipet is used to transfer 10.00 mL of solution 1 to a second 500.00 mL volumetric flask. The second flask is filled to the mark resulting in solution 2. 5.00 mL of solution 2 is analyzed and found to contain 13.45 ppm Au. Answer each of the questions below. 1. What is the concentration of Au in solution 1. The units should be ppm 2. How many micrograms of Au are in the 5.00 mL sample that was measured? 3. How many micrograms of gold were in the 500.00 mL flask containing solution 2. 4. How many grams Au were in the flask containing solution 1 5. What is the %Au in the original sample?
A sample of slag (ore tailings) from a blast furnace was analyzed to determine the SiO2 content. A sample of 0.5003 g of slag was decomposed with HCl, leaving a solid residue with a mass of 0.1414 g. The residue was subsequently treated with HF and H2SO4 and heated to convert all the SiO2 present in the sample to SiF4, which is volatile and was evaporated leaving a residue with a mass of 0.0183 g. Determine the percentage by mass (% m/m) of SiO2 in the sample.

Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earth’s crust. It is also a common household utensilmetal. The extraction of Aluminum from its ore is expensive because the metallurgy uses a veryhigh amount of electricity. The extraction of Aluminum metal takes place in a number of steps,which may be summarized below.Step 1: Washing and mechanical processes employed to the ore to remove basic impurities.Step 2: Conversion of Aluminum ore (Bauxite) to powdered Alumina (Al2O3) by reaction withconcentrated NaOH solution.Step 3: Dissolving Alumina in molten Cryolite(Na3AlF6)Step 4: Electrolytic refining of the solution at step 2. (Diagram below) to form pure Aluminummetal.Step 5: Collecting pure molten Aluminum at the cathode, which change later to solid Aluminummetal.As you observed, many changes are taking place in different steps for the above extractionprocess. Classify them as physical or chemical change and explain why?a) Step 1 __________________________________________b) Step 2…
