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.
Our iron ore pellets and fines are made from magnetite and have high iron ore content pellets at around 67 percent concentration and fines over 70 percent. This means they have lower impact on the environment than competing pellets and products such as sintered hematite fines.
Using pellets instead of sinter (slightly larger pieces of iron ore) in customers pig iron processes saves emissions at steel plants. The high concentration of iron combined with the carefully tested and balanced additives in our pellets also result in lower emissions in customers ironmaking processes.
Iron ores are the raw material used to make iron and steel. Iron ore production has significantly expanded in recent years, owing to increasing steel demands in developing countries, such as China. As the content of iron ore in deposits has deteriorated, low-grade iron ore has been processed. Iron ore concentrate is an output product from processed iron ores that have been milled (crush, grind, magnetic separation, flotation) to separate deleterious elements and produce a high-quality product. Sintering and pelletizing are economic and widely used agglomeration processes to prepare iron ore fines/iron concentrate for ironmaking use. The quality requirements of sinter and pellet, such as physical, chemical, and metallurgical specifications, depend on each ironmaking furnace, and those requirements influence the operation of the iron ore sintering and pelletizing plant. Researchers have usually focused on the effect of the chemical, physical, and mineralogical characteristics of iron ore on these steps and the consequences for sinter/pellet quality and sintering/pelletizing performance. The present Special Issue on Iron Concentrate Particles will summarize the progress achieved in the last five years.
Hematite is an iron ore that contains iron in the form of Fe 2 O 3. It is a significant source of iron extraction. Hematite is a mineral that is paramagnetic. As a result, it can be drawn to an external magnetic field.
It is an iron oxide with a chemical composition of Fe 2 O 3. It is a common rock-forming mineral found in sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks at locations throughout the world. Hematite is the most important ore of iron.
Hematite is a heavy and usually hard oxide mineral that constitutes the most important iron ore123. It has a chemical formula Fe2O3, indicating that it consists of two iron (Fe) atoms bonded to three oxygen (O) atoms4. Hematite has a high iron content and is one of the most abundant iron ores found on Earth43. It is often found in sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks4. Hematite is mined in some of the largest mines in the world3. Hematite ore has naturally high iron content suitable for steelmaking5.
Features Of Iron Ore:
Iron ore is the main raw material that is used in the manufacturing of steel. 97% of the mined iron ore goes in the steel production. Nigeria has rich deposits of Iron Ore and is among the top 8 exporter of iron ore in the world.
