In the world of iron ores, the highest iron content ores are essential resources that fuel various industries. Hematite and magnetite, with their iron-rich composition, take center stage in steel production, while limonite, siderite, and goethite find their niche applications in other sectors.

The ores' colours vary and are caused by a high concentration of iron oxides. Iron can be found in many different forms, the most common of which are magnetite, hematite, goethite, limonite, and siderite. ... The richest ore of iron is magnetite. Magnetite has an iron content of up to 72.4%, which is higher than hematite. However, …

The principal iron ores contain hematite (Fe 2 O 3) and magnetite (Fe 3 O 4). Hematite is an iron oxide mineral. It is non-magnetic and has colour variations ranging from steel silver to reddish brown. Pure hematite contains 69.9% Fe by molecular weight. It has been the dominant iron ore mined in Australia since the early 1960s.

Phosphorus is one of the most deleterious elements in iron ore as it follows iron during downstream reduction processes, forming iron phosphides that make steel brittle. Excess phosphorus increases the cost of steelmaking and the steel industry has placed an upper limit of 0.07-0.08 wt-% P on the iron ore feed. Goethite grains containing high levels of …

The partially reduced ore is then smelted in the second unit, and liquid iron is produced. Smelting-reduction technology enables a wide range of coals to be used for iron making.
