you can smelt it. You put it in a blast furnace with carbon. This will be able to separate the iron from the iron ore
The carbon is in the form of coke, providing both fuel for the huge amount of heat at the high temperature needed, and the carbon necessary to separate chemically the iron from the iron-oxide which is the ore itself.
Limestone is added as a flux to help remove silica and other impurities as molten "slag" that floats on the molten iron, and is tapped off separately.
The "blast" part refers to the powerful blasts of air pre-heated by the furnace's flue gases, and blown into the fire to raise it to white heat.
Iron ore is first mined and then processed to remove impurities through crushing, screening, and separating the ore into various grades. The ore is then heated in a blast furnace with coke (carbon) and limestone, which helps to remove impurities and combine the iron with carbon to produce molten iron. The molten iron is then cast into molds to solidify and form various shapes such as ingots or bars.

What is the ore of iron called as?
The ore of iron is called hematite.
Is iron ore uranium ore?
No, iron ore and uranium ore are two different types of ores. Iron ore is a mineral that is a source of iron while uranium ore is a mineral that contains uranium, a radioactive element used for nuclear energy production.
Is iron and iron ore the same?
No, iron is a chemical element, while iron ore is a rock containing iron minerals that can be extracted and processed to obtain metallic iron. Iron ore is a primary source of iron, which is used in various industries for making steel and other products.
Can iron ore conduct electricity?
No, but some types of iron-ore have a permanent magnetic field.
Is it true or false iron is separated from oxygen by cooling iron ore?
False. Iron is separated from oxygen during the process of smelting iron ore in a blast furnace, where the ore is heated to high temperatures in the presence of carbon (coke) to remove the oxygen and extract the iron. Cooling alone does not separate iron from oxygen in iron ore.
Who process topurify iron ore and produce steel?
Iron ore is processed and converted into steel by steel mills. The process involves extracting iron from the ore through smelting and refining it to remove impurities. The molten iron is then cast into various shapes and cooled to form the final steel product.
English engineer and Inventor of the process by which iron ore was efficiently converted to steel?
Sir Henry Bessemer

What is land with rich deposits of iron ore called?
Land with rich deposits of iron ore is called an iron ore reserve or iron ore deposit.
Difference between iron ore fines and iron ore pellets?
Iron Ore fines are Iron Ore that have been crushed to under 10mm. Iron Ore pellets are Iron Ore fines that have been concentrated and bonded together to form small balls, or pellets.
What is the metal ore from which you obtain iron?
iron ore.
How do you get iron out of an iron ore in minecraft?
In Minecraft,in order to get iron ore out of a mined block of iron you need to smelt the iron ore block in a furnace.
Are iron and iron ore the same thing?
No; iron ore is mixed with copper and smelted; the ore needs to be refined to extract pure iron. You cannot make a tool out of ore, but rather with pure iron.
Is iron ore a mixture or a compound?
Iron ore is a mixture.
Is iron ore nonrenewable?
Iron ore is not a renewable resource.
What are the main iron ore exports from Australia?
