Iron is mainly extracted from hematite (Fe 2 O 3) and magnetite ores. Natural or direct shipping iron ores contain between 50-70% iron and can be fed directly into the blast furnace. Fe 3 O 4 decomposes when heated to ferrous oxide (FeO) and ferric oxide (Fe 2 O 3) via Fe 3 O 4 → FeO + Fe 2 O 3. A specialized type of coal, called hard …

Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be extracted. There are four main types of iron ore deposit: massive hematite, which is the most commonly mined, magnetite, titanomagnetite, and pisolitic ironstone. These ores vary in colour from dark grey, through to deep purple, rusty red and bright yellow.
The reduction kinetics of hematite iron ore fines to metallic iron by hydrogen using a laboratory fluidized bed reactor were investigated in a temperature range between 873 K and 1073 K, by measuring the weight change of the sample portion during reduction. The fluidization conditions were checked regarding plausibility within the Grace diagram …
Importantly, magnetite is suitable for processing into iron ore pellets for use in modern steel production and currently accounts for approximately 50% of global iron ore production. The magnetic properties of magnetite enable it to be readily refined into an iron ore concentrate used as high-quality feedstock for the production of premium quality,

The Port Pirie Regional Council and Magnetite Mines Limited are have announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to elevate the development potential of Port Pirie as a future green iron production hub. As the global steel industry decarbonises, new "green iron" hubs are set to emerge where high-grade …
Fortescue Metals Group Ltd has successfully made its first magnetite product, remarkably at first run grade of greater than 68% Fe. Further to the successful production of wet concentrate at the Iron Bridge site, it has now been transported through the 135 kilometre specialist slurry pipeline where dewatering and materials handling …
Pisolitic ironstone. The five main types of iron ore forming minerals are: Hematite (70% Fe) Magnetite (72% Fe) Goethite (63% Fe) Limonite (up to 60% Fe) Siderite (48.2% Fe) An ore's quality is also impacted by the commercially worthless material surrounding it, collectively known as gangue. Silica and phosphorus-yielding compounds …
Ironmaking 101 – From Ore to Iron with Smelting and Direct Iron Reduction. Figure 1: Steelmaking byproducts for blast furnace (BF), basic oxygen furnace (BOF) and electric arc furnace (EAF) processes.

Iron ore pellets (roughly spherical, typically 7–15 mm diameter) for DR are industrially produced from natural hematite grains (irregular, typically 20 μm). In a shaft furnace, these pellets are chemically reduced at 600–950 °C by both CO and H 2 in three steps, hematite Fe 2 O 3 magnetite Fe 3 O 4 wustite Fe 0.95 O iron Fe, thus ...
Although the majority of current steel production is supported by iron ore sourced from high-grade haematite deposits, the long-term growing demand for steel has led to higher raw material prices and opened the way for many new magnetite deposits to also be developed._x000D_ There is a rich and long history of magnetite ore processing in …
Product analysis shows that after SMR, iron minerals such as siderite and hematite transform into magnetite, with a substantial increase in magnetism, which is conducive to the separation of iron ore.
