Solution
Bessemer converter is used for the preparation of steel. It was the first inexpensive industrial process for the mass production of steel from molten pig iron. The key principle is the removal of impurities from the iron by oxidation with air being blown through the molten iron.
Cast iron or Pig iron is extracted in a blast furnace. Wrought iron is prepared in a special type of reverberatory furnace called pudding furnace.
