Question

In Bessemer converter, oxides of manganese and silicon are removed as manganous silicate.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The Bessemer process was the first inexpensive industrial process for the mass production of steel, from molten pig iron before the development of the open blast furnace. The key principle is the removal of impurities from the iron by oxidation with air being blown through the molten iron. In Bessemer converted, oxides of manganese and silicon are removed as manganous silicate. So, the given statement is true.
