With a total resource of 22 487 million tonnes of haematite Fe2O3 and 10 789 million tonnes of magnetite Fe3O4 India ranks seventh among the countries to possess abundant iron ore resources
In Fig 3 the typical beneficiation of the oxide iron ores magnetite and haematite are shown Easiest to beneficiate are haematite ores bottom part of the picture In simplified terms the process steps comprise Mine Crush Screen Sell and are also described as DSO process DSO = high grade direct shipping ore Fig 4 shows the
iron ore worldwide at lower in situ grades generally about 20 40% Fe which can be readily enriched iron ore market Mineralogy hematite vs magnetite Iron ores can be formed of several different minerals; the most common are hematite and magnetite DSOs including the mid grade products Rio Tinto and BHP produce from Australia s Pilbara
1 Introduction Iron ore pellets are one of the significant sources of iron for iron and steel making due to their superior metallurgical performance low energy consumption and less emission of environmentally harmful dust and gases during the production process [1] [2] [3] The two primary raw materials for pellet production are hematite and magnetite concentrates
The production of iron from its ore involves an oxidation reduction reaction carried out in a blast furnace Iron ore is usually a mixture of iron and vast quantities of impurities such as sand and clay referred to as gangue Fe 2O 3 but can also magnetite Fe 3O 4 carbon called coke and limestone CaCO 3 For the purpose of

China and major iron ore price increases Magnetite haematite skarn deposits are already considered a significant contributor to Chinese iron ore reserves Zhai et al 1996 In the Yangtse River
It has been found that the main iron bearing mineral is hematite which contains to % of iron distributed in the ore Magnetite and hydrogoethite account for and % of the component respectively; the proportion of iron distributed in gangue minerals and finely dispersed iron hydroxides is very insignificant
Magnetite and hematite are common iron oxides being found in sedimentary metamorphic and igneous environments and being associated with a wide variety of deposits styles including orogenic gold iron oxide copper gold and iron ore deposits While the magnetic and mass properties of magnetite and hematite have been comprehensively studied
Magnetite is primarily used to extract iron in the form of pig iron or sponge iron This produced iron is then used to make steel Magnetite is also used as a catalyst It is the catalyst used in the production of ammonia on an industrial scale Hematite Hematite is an iron ore that contains iron in the form of Fe 2 O 3 It is a significant
The calcium oxide formed reacts with the silicon dioxide which is an impurity in the iron ore to form calcium silicate This melts and collects as a molten slag floating on top of the molten iron which is tapped off separately calcium oxide silicon dioxide → calcium silicate
Details of the common iron ore and associated gangue minerals found in many iron ore deposits and iron ore products are given in Table three most common iron ore minerals are magnetite hematite the spelling hematite is preferred here over haematite and goethite which together account for an estimated > 99% of the iron minerals contained in

Uses Hematite is used in the extraction of iron for the manufacture of steel which is the most popular application of the vast quantity of hematite ore mined is then processed into iron and applied in the manufacture of steel items Hematite has higher iron content and lower impurity levels than magnetite which makes it a more suitable iron source
Iron processing Ores Smelting Refining Iron ores occur in igneous metamorphic transformed or sedimentary rocks in a variety of geologic environments Most are sedimentary but many have been changed by weathering and so their precise origin is difficult to determine The most widely distributed iron bearing minerals are oxides and iron ores consist mainly of
