Iron ore by products for export

Types of iron ore:

Iron ore is often produced and traded in three forms: granulated iron ore, concentrate and iron ore pellets:

– Fine-grained iron ore is traded in two finite forms: Fine, dimensions 0 to 10 mm, and coarse-grained Lump, dimensions 10 to 30 mm. The grade of this type of iron ore is often between 57% and 63.5%

It is variable, but the transaction is up to 42%.

– Concentrate iron ore concentrate, which is very fine and its grade is often between 67 and 69 percent.

How is iron ore extracted?

The most important export market for iron ore is China. With its very high import volume (nearly 900 million tons per year), it is the largest consumer market and the center of the iron ore trade, and the pricing of this product is based on the conditions of this field. After China, the markets of South Korea, Japan and Europe are other important markets for iron ore. In the future, the Persian Gulf region and the countries of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE will be added to these areas, so the need for planning in this area is strongly felt.

Iron ore is very important. China is the world’s largest producer of iron ore with a production of 1.3 billion tons, but due to its very low grade (21 to 31 percent), this volume of production is not very visible. In other words, the high volume of low-grade iron ore production reduces the iron content extracted. In some speculations, this volume is equal to 370 million tons compared to other cargoes traded in the world. In other words, China will still need to import iron ore.

The world’s most important iron ore producer is the Pilbara region of western Australia, which has the world’s largest iron ore reserves. With the construction of the railway, large companies have been able to drastically reduce the cost of domestic transportation of iron ore (in some areas even $ 2 per ton). The world’s most important iron ore export terminal and the world’s largest raw material loading terminal is the Port of the Netherlands in northwestern Australia, close to the Pilbar region. Iron ore is often exported by large bulk carriers. Smaller ships with a capacity of more than 22,000 tons and large ships known as the Panamaax with a capacity of more than 70,000 tons. In Iran, we do not have iron and stone loading terminals for capacities above 70,000 tons.

Every market in the world and at any price is subject to supply and demand, but sometimes some suppliers become so powerful that they can set tasks for the whole market. Something is also happening in the global iron ore market. China’s demand is so great that major suppliers can navigate the market. The world’s largest producers of iron ore and iron ore are Valle Brazil as the world’s largest producer, Rio Tinto as Australia’s largest iron ore producer, BHP Bilton Australia as the world’s largest mining company, Forskyo Australia and OZ Mineral Australia. These companies, which have a very good relationship with each other, actually manage the global iron ore market. Reductions in current prices appear to be due to the expulsion of some smaller Chinese mines during the monsoon season and the difficulty of mining conditions.

New export data for iron ore by products

Iron ore is in the category of metal elements and the earth’s crust contains 5% of the oxide of this element and is one of the most abundant metal elements present in the earth. Iron, known as the chemical symbol Fe, is the fourth most abundant element after oxygen, silica, and aluminum, and is the most abundant and widespread trace metal after aluminum. Iron ore is a type of rock that has iron veins. By extracting raw iron ore from the earth and removing impurities, a dark silver-brown powder of iron is obtained. The oxidation of this element is easy and it is not so strong on its own, and in order to increase its strength for use in parts such as construction, it is made of alloy. To make its alloy, countless elements are used, and the variety of these elements is great. However, the most common are nickel and chromium. In terms of mineral type, iron ore includes: Fe3O4 miniteite, Fe2O3 hematite, FeOOH gutite, Fe2O3.nH2O limonite, FeCO33 cedarite, FeSiO4 chamosity, martite and magmite. Iron ore extracted from mines is processed. The reason why iron ore is processed is that the extracted iron ore is not pure and contains harmful compounds. In addition, it has a low grade and cannot be used. There are different types of iron ore in the market in terms of appearance, which are: granulated; concentrate ; Pelletsiron ore chemical formula
