Barton process

The Barton process is an industrial method used to extract iron from its ore. It involves adding carbon-rich materials to iron ore and heating them at high temperatures in a furnace. This process causes chemical reactions that convert the ore into molten iron, removing impurities like sulfur and phosphorus. The result is liquid iron that can be further refined to produce steel or other iron products. Overall, the Barton process is an efficient way to produce metallic iron from mineral sources, facilitating steel manufacturing and other industrial applications.
