The final stage in iron ore processing is ironmaking, where the iron ore is transformed into molten iron through a process called reduction. The most common method of ironmaking is the blast furnace route. In a blast furnace, iron ore, coke (carbon), and fluxes (limestone or dolomite) are loaded into the furnace from the top.

The iron-bearing materials intermediate in properties between the high-grade enriched iron ore deposits and the parent taconite are the oxidized taconites. The magnetite has been oxidized to hematite, and the iron silicates and siderite have been converted to goethite, a hydrated iron oxide.
Beneficiation of Iron Ore and the treatment of magnetic iron taconites, stage grinding and wet magnetic separation is standard practice.This also applies to iron ores of the non-magnetic type which after a reducing roast are amenable to magnetic separation. All such plants are large tonnage operations treating up to 50,000 tons per …
The reduction roasting process is one of the potential alternatives to overcome such challenges. Herein, we have presented the feasibility study using reduction roasting process on one of the Indian low-grade BHQ iron ore for the preparation of magnetite concentrate-based pellet feed materials.
The iron-making process requires high-quality raw materials, with Fe ≥ 64% and <2% alumina and silica each, to enhance blast furnace productivity at a given energy consumption rate.
Magnetite Ore Processing Plant The beneficiation process of magnetite mainly includes 4 stages. Once you have discovered or mined magnetite, you can extract iron concentrates through the following process. 1. ➢ Magnetite crushing and screening 2. ➢ Magnetite grinding and …
When iron ore is extracted from a mine, it must undergo several processing stages. Six steps to process iron ore. 1. Screening We recommend that you begin by screening the iron ore to separate fine particles below the crusher's CSS before the crushing stage. A static screen is used to divert the fine particles for crushing.
