Iron ore
Iron ore is a naturally occurring mineral from which metallic iron (Fe) can be economically extracted. It is the primary raw material for steel production, making it one of the most essential industrial commodities in the world.
⚖️ Key Iron Ore Types:
Type | Chemical Formula | Iron Content (Fe) | Notes |
Hematite | Fe₂O₃ | ~69.9% | High-grade, most sought after |
Magnetite | Fe₃O₄ | ~72.4% | Requires beneficiation |
Goethite | FeO(OH) | ~62.9% | Common in tropical regions |
Limonite | FeO(OH)·nH₂O | ~55% | Lower grade, hydrated form |
Siderite | FeCO₃ | ~48.2% | Less commonly used |
⚖️ Quality Specifications
- Fe Content: Higher Fe = higher price.
- Impurities: Silica (SiO₂), Alumina (Al₂O₃), Phosphorus (P), Sulfur (S) affect blast furnace efficiency.
- Moisture Content: Impacts handling and transport.
