Corus Project – Chapter 1 1. The 3 raw materials for making iron are, iron ore, coke, and limestone. 2. Iron ore comes from India and is transported by ship and rail; Coke comes from India and is transported by rail and boat; limestone comes from India and is transported by rail and boat. 3. Coke is the only one that is processed. Water, coal tar and cold gas are fused together at high temperatures. 4. Iron ores role is, limestone melts the impurities, the coke makes the furnace burn at a higher temp, the iron ore is to get the iron out. 5. Transporting the materials puts lots of greenhouse gases into the environment. 6. The bad side effects can be reduced making the steel in the country then transporting the whole lot to England. 7. Scrap is used because, it helps the iron cool down quicker. 8. Advantage: the scrap cools down the iron. Disadvantage: the metal breaks more easily.
