THE PROCESS OF SELECTIVELY REDUCING FERROUS CHLORIDE FROM A GASEOUS MIXTURE, THE ESSENTIAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS OF WHICH ARE THE VAPORS OF MANGANESE CHLORIDE AND FERROUS CHLORIDE, AND IN WHICH THE WEIGHT RATIO OF FERROUS CHLORIDE TO MANGANESE CHLORIDE IS AT LEAST ABOUT 2:3, TO FORM SUBSTANTIALLY PURE METALLIC IRON, WHICH COMPRISES THE STEPS OF CONTACTING THE MIXED VAPORS OF FERROUS AND MANGANESE CHLORIDES IN A REDUCING ZONE WITH A GAS, THE ESSENTIAL ACTIVE REDUCING INGREDIENT OF WHICH IS HYDROGEN, AND MAINTAINING THE TEMPERTURE OF SAID CHLORIDES AND SAID GAS IN SAID REDUCING ZONE BETWEEN ABOUT 800* C. AND THE MELTING POINT OF IRON.
