An oxidising atmosphere in a kiln is one containing
Answer: A
Correct answer: excess oxygen beyond that needed for combustion
An oxidising atmosphere holds more oxygen than combustion requires, so carbon burns out completely and metal oxides remain in their higher states - iron as red ferric oxide rather than grey ferrous. A reducing atmosphere starves the flame and produces carbon monoxide, which strips oxygen from those oxides and changes the fired colour entirely. The atmosphere is therefore a controlled variable, not merely a consequence.
