Which of the following is NOT associated with the production of iron from iron ore in blast furnaces?
A) Iron ore,coke,and limestone are used.
B) Solid by-products collect on top of molten iron,which is removed from the bottom of the reaction vessel.
C) Molten iron crystallizes at its melting point of 1538 C in a bcc structure but then undergoes a phase transition at around 1390 C to a fcc structure.
D) Limestone (CaCO3) decomposes to form lime (CaO) ,which can react with silica impurities (SiO2) in the iron ore.
E) The carbon content is reduced by heating the impure molten iron in a second furnace to temperatures above 1600 C.
