Who really killed Apple?

Who really killed Apple?Annoying OrangeStupid Hungry Human None of the aboveWhere did the weapon came from?

Traces of iron are found in the victims flesh. This led us to hypothesize that the murder weapon contained iron. To know what actually killed those poor fruits, we analyze how iron is processed. The process follows three basic steps. 2Types of OreHematiteHigh gradeDirect Shipping OreMining and processing is relatively simpleMagnetiteLower iron contentA natural magnet

Two types of ore abound. 3Mineral Processing by MagnetismWet/Dry Low Intensity Magnetic Drums (LIMS)

Wet High Intensity Magnetic Separators (WHIMS)

VSOne of the more meticulous refining process is magnetic separation4Schematic Mode

Alternative Metal Extraction: The DRIIron ore is reduced in solid state at 800 - 1,050 C either by reducing gas (H2 and CO) or coal.Good for the Philippines!Rich natural gas resourcesFeasible for medium to small-scale iron ore processing6Direct Reduction of Iron

Natural Gas based or Coal BasedThe mechanism follows the scheme as follows. 7Natural Gas Driven Reduction: Vertical Shaft Reactor

The ore is entered into a vertical reactor. At the same time, natural gases are converted in a separate unit into carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas, which then act on the ores through direct reduction. 8Electrometallurgy: Electric Arc Furnace

The graphite electrodes are dipped into the charge, causing electric arcs to be produced between the electrode and the bath, providing 5060% of the energy required to melt.

After melting, the refining and removal of Al, Si, Mn, P, & C is accomplished by exothermic oxidation reactions.
