iron fe Flashcards
iron is themost important metal in ………….
heavy indusries
a2wly bltrtyp most abundant element
iron number ……
- 1 - oxygen 2 - silicon 3- aluminum 4.iron
- the 4th iron
iron forms……..% of earth crust by weight and this mass increases gradually ……………..
- 6.3%
- as we come close to earth core
iron has oxides tell me about them
- oxides iron II oxide FeO
- iron magntic oxide Fe3O4
- iron III oxide Fe2O3
we cannout found free iron except in
and the %
- meteorites only
- 90%
- iron found in form of
- give me ex about impurities
iron found in form of natural ores contaning the diffrerent iron oxides with impurities
- Silica SiO2
- Alumina Al2O3
- quick lime Cao
- Magnesium oxide Mgo
iron ores in egypt tell me about their the ore .
- chemical name ,
- chemical symbol ,
- properties % of iron in ore ,
- the place in egypt
- magnetite , magnetic iron oxide , Fe3O4 , black and has a magntic properties 45 : 70% , eastern dastern desert
- hematite , Iron III oxide , Fe2O3 , blood red and easily redused , 50 : 60 Oasis area western desert
- limonite , hydrated iron III oxide , 2Fe2O3 .3H2O , yellow easily reduced , 20 : 60% , oasis area
- siderite , iron II carbonate , FeCO3 , 30 : 42% yellowish grey and easily reduced ,
the suitability of the ore for extraction of iron from it depends on 3 factors tell me about them
- percentage of iron in ore
- the type of the impurities in the ore
- type of harmful elements mixed with it such as sulphur , phosphrous and arsenic
extraction of iron from ore take 3 steps tell me about him
- ore dessing
- reduction
- iron production
diff ore dressing
it is done to increases the consntrtion of iron in the ore by getting rid of most of impurities to improve the physical and chemical properties of the ore
improving physical properties depends on some processes tell me about them
- crushing processes
- sintering process
- concentration processes
diff crushing processes
it is process to change the large particles of the ore into small particals simmiler in size to be easily reduced
diff sintring processes
it is a process in which the fine iron particles produced from crushing are collecting to form large particles simmler in size to be easily reduces
diff concentration processes
it is a process aims to increase the concenttration of iron by separating impurities mixed with it by surface tension or magnetic separation or electrical separation
improving the chemical properies how
Roasting
diff roasting
it is the processes of heating iron ore strongly in air for drying ore and increase the concentration of iron in the ore
roasting is strongly heated in air in order to 2 steps tell me about them and their equation
- drying ore to increase the concentration of iron in the ore -
Fe CO3(s) →H→ FeO(s) + CO2 (g) 2FeO(S) + 1/2O2(g)→H→ Fe2O3(s) 2Fe2O3 . 3H2O(s)→H→ 2Fe2O3(s) +3H2O(v)
- oxidation of some impurities such as sulpher and phosphorus
S(s) + O2(g) →H→SO2(g)
4P(s) + 5O2(g)→H→2P2O5
diff reduction in ore
it is the poroces that reduced iron oxide to iron by two method depending on type of reducing agent
in reducction in or there is a two method
- blast (high) furnace
- midrex furnace
reduction of iron ore in blast furnace by ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and resulting from ……………..
carbon monooxide (CO) and resulting from coke (C)
