Lithium ore is an element valuable for the production of glass, aluminum products, and batteries.
It is mined from ores of petalite (LiAl(Si2O5), lepidolite K(Li,Al) (Al,Si,Rb)4O10(F,OH), and spodumene LiAl(SiO3)2 and also subsurface brines. Nigeria is one of the world's largest producers of lithium.
With our large solid mineral storage facility in Lagos Nigeria we can supply 500-1000 metric ton of this product per month to China.
Color: Varies from white, gray, greenish, yellowish, or pinkish, depending on the ore type.
Luster: Vitreous to pearly.
Transparency: Opaque to translucent.
Density & Specific Gravity:
Spodumene: Perfect cleavage in two directions
Lepidolite: Perfect basal cleavage
Petalite: Perfect cleavage in one direction
Amblygonite: Good cleavage in one direction
Tenacity:
White or colorless for most lithium ores.
Magnetism & Conductivity:
Non-magnetic.
Poor electrical and thermal conductor.
Reactivity:
Lithium ores are stable under normal conditions but react with strong acids to release lithium ions.
Additional Notes:
Spodumene is the most commercially important lithium ore due to its high lithium content (~5-8% LiO).
Lepidolite is a significant source of lithium but contains a lower lithium concentration (~3-5% LiO).
Petalite is valued for its low iron content, making it useful for ceramic and glass applications.
Amblygonite has lower economic significance but contains both lithium and phosphorus.
Iron ore is the main raw material that is used in the manufacturing of steel. 98% of the mined iron ore goes in the steel production. India has rich deposits of Iron Ore and is among the top 10 exporter of iron ore in the world.
Iron ore is a mineral substance which, when heated in the presence of a reductant, will yield metallic iron (Fe). It almost always consists of iron oxides, the primary forms of which are magnetite (Fe3O4) and hematite (Fe2O3). Iron ore is the source of primary iron for the world's iron and steel industries.
It is therefore essential for the production of steel, which in turn is essential to maintain a strong industrial base. Our monthly ability to export Iron Ore is of 2000-5000MT per month.
We are counted amongst the leading names of the company that is into offering Iron Ore. The products offered by us are of very fine quality. These products have rich content of iron as a result the users get relatively high amount of iron. Our products are very easily enriched as a result our clients save their precious time and money.
We supply Iron Ore in different types-
Iron Ore Lumps (Hematite & Magnetite)
Iron Ore Fines (Hematite & Magnetite)
Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The ores are usually rich in iron oxides and vary in color from dark grey, bright yellow, or deep purple to rusty red. The iron is usually found in the form of magnetite (Fe3O4, 72.4% Fe), hematite (Fe2O3, 69.9% Fe), goethite (FeO(OH), 62.9% Fe), limonite (FeO(OH)n(H2O), 55% Fe) or siderite (FeCO3, 48.2% Fe).
Ores containing very high quantities of hematite or magnetite (greater than about 60% iron) are known as natural ore or direct shipping ore, meaning they can be fed directly into iron-making blast furnaces. Iron ore is the raw material used to make pig iron, which is one of the main raw materials to make steel 98% of the mined iron ore is used to make steel.
