Table 4-3 shows the estimated energy requirements for a surface iron mine in the U.S. The iron mine operates over a 22-year lifetime with a 110 million-ton output at the end of its life. The mine runs 364 days per year with two 8.00 hour shifts per day, which gives it a daily production rate of 13,699 tons per day.
Iron Ore Statistics and Information | U.S. Geological Survey
Iron ore is a mineral substance which, when heated in the presence of a reductant, will yield metallic iron (Fe). It almost always consists of iron oxides, the primary forms of which are magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) and hematite (Fe 2 O 3 ). Iron ore is the source of primary iron for the world's iron and steel industries.
Types of Iron Ore: Hematite vs. Magnetite
Iron ore pellets are made from both magnetite and hematite ores. Hematite ores are concentrated using a flotation process. Pellets include a mineral binder that represents about 2% by weight.
Iron Ore | Geoscience Australia
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.
