DetailsThe chemical formula of limestone is CaCO 3. Limestone is a basic flux that can be used to form fusible slag from earthly impurities present in the ore. Limestone undergoes decomposition to form lime i.e. Calcium oxide (CaO) and Carbon dioxide. The decomposition reaction occurs as follows: CaCO 3 s Limestone → CaO s (Lime) + CO 2 g
DetailsFurther lime from limestone reacts with sulphur present in the raw materials to form CaS which goes into slag. So, from the above discussion we say that flux is used to remove impurity in the form of slag. Limestone is used as flux, during the extraction of iron from haematite ore. So, our correct answer is option D.
