The final stage in iron ore processing is ironmaking, where the iron ore is transformed into molten iron through a process called reduction. The most common method of ironmaking is the blast furnace route. In a blast furnace, iron ore, coke (carbon), and fluxes (limestone or dolomite) are loaded into the furnace from the top.

Indian iron ores are rich in iron (Fe) content, with 62 to 64 percent Fe, and contain 2.5 to 3 percent alumina. The major iron-bearing minerals are briefly described in Table 1. Due to the high alumina content, the Indian iron ore beneficiation process has not yet found much importance compared with those in the rest of the world.
The blast furnace route of iron making is predominant in India. Blast furnace (BF) process of iron making is a process where liquid iron (hot metal) and liquid slag are produced by the reduction of iron-bearing materials (sinter and/or pellet and lump ore) with coke and by fluxing of the gangue material of the feed materials (IBM 2011). The ...
