Prob. (3): An iron ore is reduced in a furnace in accondance with the following equation: Fe2O1+9CO=2Fe+3CO2+6CO
The necessary carbon monoxide is obtained by the combustion of coke at the bottom of the furnace. The coke contains 86%. which 6% is absorbed by the reduced iron and 80% is burned to CO, no CO2 being formed in the combustion. Find:
(1) The volume of CO necessary to reduce one metric ton of inen.
(2) The vol. of air used in burning this amount of coke:
(3) The vol. and percentage composition of the gases.
