2.1.1 Mining of Crude Ore Iron ore is a mineral substance that, when heated in the presence of a reductant, yields metallic iron (Fe). It almost always consists of iron oxides, the primary forms of which are magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 —iron content 72.4 percent), hematite (Fe 2 O 3 —iron content 69.9 percent), and goethite (Fe 2 O 3 H 2

1. The compositions of the South African chrome ore are relatively simple, chromite is the main mineral, and accounts for more than 91%; chlorite and forsterite are the main gangue minerals. The main elements in the pyrite are Mg, Al, Si, O and a small amount of Fe; the main elements in the forsterite are Mg, Si and O; 2.

Ore Composition. Ores generally consist of ore minerals and gangue minerals. Ore minerals, also called useful minerals, refer to metal or nonmetal minerals that can be utilized in ores, such as chalcopyrite, bornite, chalcocite, malachite in copper ores, and serpentine asbestos in asbestos ores. Gangue minerals, also called useless …

Goethite present in iron ore deposits affects how your mine manages the handling and processing of ore. Failing to understand how the different textural composition of goethite impacts processing performance can lead to downtime and reduced mine efficiency. Textural classification allows mines to better predict where different types of goethite ...
