1- Iron ore
Iron ore is a mineral in which a significant percentage of the Fe element is extracted. Mineralogically, iron ore can be classified into the following five groups.
- Hematite iron ore (Fe2O3)
- Magnetite iron ore (Fe3O4)
- Lemonite (Fe2O3.3H2O)
- Syedrit (FeCO3)
- Zeolite
2- Iron ore concentrate
The concentrating process is performed on raw iron ore with a high percentage of impurities and low purity. Due to the low purity of iron in a percentage of deposits, after the extraction of iron ore, the purity of iron ore is increased during the concentrating process.
