Gloire à l'Existant

Gloire à ce qui existe, ce qui vit, ce qui est. Gloire à l'impalpable, l'invisible, l'indicible, le désuet. Gloire aux yeux, gloire aux cerveaux. // Camille Seurre, archivage d'inspirations. //

Iridescent Hematite - Elba Island, Tuscany, Italy

[science-junkie]

Oh, what a treat! Alas, Elba hematite is almost exhausted, but this mineral, in this small island, has helped make great ancient Rome. They used to extract metallic iron from hematite, loading this mineral with coal in clay ovens that reached temperatures of 1300 °C. Blowing air inside the oven with a bellows, oxygen, carbon, and carbon dioxide produce carbon monoxide, which reacts with hematite to give metallic iron and again carbon dioxide.

Fe2O3 + 3CO —> 3CO2 + 2Fe

The metal was then worked extensively in the forge to get the final product.
