8.1. Introduction. Hematite and magnetite iron ores are the most prominent raw materials for iron and steel production. Most of the high-grade hematite iron ores are typically subjected to simple dry processes of crushing and classification to meet the size specifications required for direct shipping ore (DSO).
Natural ore, also known as "direct shipping ore," is ore that contains a high percentage of hematite or magnetite (more than 60% iron) and can be fed directly into blast furnaces to produce iron. Iron ore is a raw …
Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) coupled with N-nearest neighbours (N3) method was developed for classification and identification of four types of iron ore (acid iron ore, seiili-self fluxing iron ore, self-fluxing iron ore and alkaline iron ore). The parameters included spectral pretreatment met

Mining, the Environment, and Politics; A mineral deposit is a place in Earth's crust where geologic processes have concentrated one or more minerals at greater abundance than in the average crust. An ore deposit is a mineral deposit that can be produced to make a profit. Thus, all ore deposits are mineral deposits, but the reverse is not true. Many factors control …
