==Foundry operations== The principal mission of an [[iron foundry]] is the conversion of iron oxides (purified iron ores) to iron metal. This reduction is usually effected using a reducing atmosphere consisting of some mixture of [[natural gas]], [[hydrogen]] (H<sub>2</sub>), and [[carbon monoxide]]. The byproduct is [[carbon dioxide]].<ref>{{Citation |last1=Formanek |first1=Lothar |title=Iron, 3.
