Chemistry with rust?

Question

Is it possible to reverse the reaction of oxygen and iron combining to get rust. How can you split them back apart?

Answer 1

Another way is to use electrochemical methods to reduce the oxised Iron back to its pure form.

Alternatively you can use a blast furnace with carbon monoxide to form iron and carbon dioxide, this process is use today to process iron from Iron oxide.

Answer 2

You can remove the rust from the ferrous materials with Aluminum Foil dipped in water if you sit and rub the iron for a while.
