Iron ore is a mineral substance which, when heated in the presence of a reductant, will yield metallic iron (Fe). It almost always consists of iron oxides, the primary forms of which are magnetite (Fe3O4) and hematite (Fe2O3). Iron ore is the source of primary iron for the world's iron and steel industries.
It is therefore essential for the production of steel, which in turn is essential to maintain a strong industrial base. Our monthly ability to export Iron Ore is of 2000-5000MT per month.
Hematite is an iron ore that contains iron in the form of Fe 2 O 3. It is a significant source of iron extraction. Hematite is a mineral that is paramagnetic. As a result, it can be drawn to an external magnetic field.
It is an iron oxide with a chemical composition of Fe 2 O 3. It is a common rock-forming mineral found in sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks at locations throughout the world. Hematite is the most important ore of iron.
Hematite is a heavy and usually hard oxide mineral that constitutes the most important iron ore123. It has a chemical formula Fe2O3, indicating that it consists of two iron (Fe) atoms bonded to three oxygen (O) atoms4. Hematite has a high iron content and is one of the most abundant iron ores found on Earth43. It is often found in sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks4. Hematite is mined in some of the largest mines in the world3. Hematite ore has naturally high iron content suitable for steelmaking5.
Features Of Iron Ore:
Iron ore is the main raw material that is used in the manufacturing of steel. 97% of the mined iron ore goes in the steel production. Nigeria has rich deposits of Iron Ore and is among the top 8 exporter of iron ore in the world.
