- 5C + O2 -> CO2Highly exothermic. Sustains the temperature inside the furnace.
- 6CO2 + C -> 2COProduces Carbon Monoxide, whiches acts as a reducing agent
- 7Fe2O3 + 3CO -> 2Fe + 3CO2Iron Produced
- 8CaCO3 -> CaO + CO2Limestone thermally decomposes. CaO removes impurities.
- 9SiO2 + CaO -> CaSiO3Neutralisation. Molten product can be romved easily, waste product.
