The iron ore processing industry produces usable concentrations of iron-bearing material by removing nonferrous rock (gangue) from low-grade ore. In the United States, predominant iron ore is taconite which is a hard, banded, low-grade ore. Ninety-nine percent of the crude iron ore produced in the United States is taconite.

Iron ores are the primary source for iron melting. Almost all of the iron ores are transformed into steel, cast iron and iron based alloys. Cast iron and steel are the fundaments of modern industries. The processing of iron products goes in a few stages. Usually it is mining, mineral processing, agglomeration, casting, depuration.

In the recent past, iron ore resources from Brazil consisted of relatively high-grade iron ore, commonly processed via multi-stage crushing/screening, gravimetric concentration, magnetic separation, and reverse flotation. However, the high-grade iron ore reserves are in decline, resulting in the need to process the lower grade itabirite iron ores.

Excellent results were claimed in processing 300 t of ore in a pilot plant at 1 tph. Gravity processing Lorraine oolitic limonite ores using spirals in the size range 0.1–0.5 mm produced a concentrate containing 40–42% Fe, 12–15% SiO 2, 4–5% CaO and 6% Al 2 O 3 at an iron recovery of 65% ( Durand et al.

The blast furnace uses coke, iron ore and limestone to produce pig iron. Coal traditionally has been a key part of the coke-making process. The coal is crushed and ground into a powder and then charged into an oven where it is heated to approximately 1800°F in the absence of oxygen. As the oven is heated, the coal begins to melt so most of the ...

How steel is made. First, the raw materials, either iron ore or scrap iron (depending on the process), are converted into molten steel. The ore-based process uses a blast furnace or smelter and the scrap-based process uses an electric arc furnace. Next, the molten steel is poured and solidified in a continuous caster.

Now, first of all, pure iron is rarely available (except if one or two meteorites crash). It has to be derived from iron ore that occurs near the surface when mining. Then the iron derived after a long processing in the blast furnace is handed over to the iron and steel industry to make a huge amount of useful materials.
