Description
Iron Ore is the primary raw material used in the production of steel- combined with steel, it constitutes the world's second largest commodity bloc by value. The largest producing countries of Iron Ore are Australia, Brazil, India, South Africa and China.
Iron Ore is categorized by dint where it is produced and priced, and by its ferrous content, expressed as a percentage. The most merchantable grades lie between 58%, 62%, 62.5%,, 63% and 65%.
A simple way to look at Iron Ore is that it starts as fines (heavy grains, like sand), is turned into pig iron, which in combination with coking (metallurgical) coal, and energy can then produce crude (liquid) steel, which is finished (rolled) into either in long (e.g. Rebar) or flat (Hot Rolled Coil) form.
Types of Iron Ore
Hematite - Fe2O3 ¨C Fe 70%
Magnetite - Fe3O4 ¨C Fe 72%
Limonite - Fe2O3 + H2O ¨C Fe 50% to 66%
Hematite known as "natural ore". It is known iron oxide, because the chemical makeup of hematite includes both iron and oxygen. When iron is extracted from hematite includes both iron and oxygen. When iron is extracted from hematite for indutrial purposes, metallurgists remove oxygen from the hematite until only iron is left. Hematite is usually available in red, grey and brown colour.
Magnetite is metallic iron, which is virtually unknown on the surface of the Earth except as iron- nickel alloys from meteorites and very rare forms of deep mantle xenoliths. Although iron is the fourth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, comprising about 5% the vast majority is bound in silicate or more rarely carbonate minerals. The thermodynamics barriers to seperating pure iron from these minerals are formidable and energy intensive, therefore, all sources of iron used by human industry exploit co***ratively rarer iron oxide minerals, the primary fo |
