    Carbon (directly or indirectly) is the reducing agent found to be best suited for the economical production of iron. Carbon of suitable reactivity and pbysical strength was at one time produced from wood by distillation, yielding wood charcoal. For the operation of a modem large blast furnace the carbon required for the smelting of iron is obtained from the destructive distillation of coking coals.
