This process is used for the manufacture of wrought iron from cast iron. We know that cast iron contains the impurities of C, S, Si, Mn and P. When these impurities are removed from cast iron, we get wrought iron. In this process the impurities are oxidised to their oxides not by blast of air but by the haematite (Fe2O3) lining of the furnace.
