Key Facts About Iron Ore:
Main Types of Iron Ore:
Hematite (Fe₂O₃) – High iron content (~70%), reddish in color.
Magnetite (Fe₃O₄) – High iron content (~72%), magnetic, black.
Goethite and Limonite – Lower iron content, more impurities.
Siderite (FeCO₃) – Contains iron carbonate, less commonly used.
Top Iron Ore Producing Countries:
Australia (largest producer)
Brazil
China
India
Russia
Uses:
Steel production (about 98% of iron ore is used here).
Automotive and construction industries, machinery, tools.
Extraction & Processing:
Mining – Open-pit or underground.
Crushing and grinding – Reduces ore size.
Concentration – Removes gangue (waste materials).
Pelletizing or sintering – Prepares ore for the blast furnace.
Smelting in a blast furnace – Produces pig iron, later converted to steel
