Fe2O3 is reduced in blast furnaces using CO to form Fe through the calcination process.
Equation: Fe2O3 + 3CO
2Fe + 3CO2
Equation: Fe2O3 + 3CO

Iron is extracted from iron ore in a huge container called a blast furnace. Iron ores such as haematite contain iron(III) oxide, Fe 2O 3. The oxygen must be removed from the iron(III) oxide in order to leave the iron behind. Reactions in which oxygen is removed are called reduction reactions.
Equation :- Iron(III) oxide + carbon → iron + carbon dioxide
