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 region and the high-grade 65% Fe fines Vale produces in Brazil, are predominantly hematite products.
Iron ore minerals, particularly hematite and goethite, are beneficiated by a combination of size fraction, preconcentration, and flotation in stages (Fig. 13.45).Iron ore requires removal of silicate impurities of a finer size by flotation for higher-grade products of +60% Fe. ROM ore at 400–600 mm is fed to a primary crusher with product set at –40 mm.
Ores of this type were formed extensively in Precambrian iron formations by leaching of silica, which commonly constituted in excess of 50 % of the rock. Oxidation changed iron carbonate, silicate minerals, and magnetite to hematite or limonite. The potential iron ore known to exist in an area is called iron ore resource.
