===Steel===
* '''[[Smelting]]''' – Inside a [[blast furnace]], [[carbon monoxide]] (CO) is released by combusting [[coke (fuel)|coke]] (a high-carbon derivative of [[coal]]) and removes the undesired oxygen (O) within [[ore]]s. {{CO2}} is released as a by-product, carrying away the oxygen and leaving behind the desired pure metal. Most prominently, [[blast furnace#Process engineering and chemistry|iron smelting]] is how [[steel]] (largely iron with small amounts of carbon) is created from mined [[iron ore]] and coal.
