Get PriceIron Ore Processing for the Blast Furnace The following describes operations at the National Steel Pellet Company an iron ore mining and processing facility located on the Mesabi Iron Range of Minnesota Creating steel from low grade iron ore requires a long process of mining crushing separating concentrating mixing pelletizing and shipping
Get PriceIron ore is a rock or mineral from which metallic iron can be extracted economically It constitutes 5% of the earth s crust Viable forms of ore contain between 25% and 60% iron Ore greater than 60% iron is known as natural ore or direct shipping ore meaning it can be fed directly into iron making blast furnaces
Get PriceLKAB s total production of 27 million tons of iron ore products corresponds to 18 million tons of crude steel If that steel were produced in conventional blast furnaces it would lead to emissions of 28 million tons of CO2 — more than 50 percent of Sweden s total footprint of 52 million tons of CO2 equivalents
Get PriceAn ironworks or iron works is an industrial plant for the production of steel from iron ores Before the iron ores can be fed to the ironworks they must first be mined ore extraction and specially processed for the blast furnace process ore processing These process steps are described in more detail in the following sections
Get PriceIt is in the blast furnace that extraction of iron occurs The extraction of iron from its ore is a long and subdued process that helps in separating the useful components from the waste materials such as slag What happens in the Blast Furnace The purpose of a Blast Furnace is to reduce the concentrated ore chemically to its liquid metal state
Get PriceThe processing plant has a nameplate capacity of 35 to 40Mt of ore based on the types of ore processed and pellets produced It comprises a crushing facility and a beneficiation system to upgrade the raw iron ore with a magnetic content of about 25% to 30% iron Fe for the production of concentrate grading at 65% Fe
Get PriceBlast furnace slag is a nonmetallic coproduct produced in the process It consists primarily of silicates aluminosilicates and calcium alumina silicates The molten slag which absorbs much of the sulfur from the charge comprises about 20 percent by mass of iron production Figure 1 presents a general schematic which depicts the blast

Get PriceThe ore is loaded into a blast furnace along with measured quantities of coke and limestone Hot combustion air is supplied to the furnace and some form of fuel used to raise the temperature The iron is reduced from the ore by carbon in the coke the limestone aiding slag separation from the molten iron The slag and molten iron are tapped off from the bottom of the furnace the slag being
Get PriceThe blast furnace requires a sinter plant in order to prepare the iron ore for reduction [2] Unlike the blast furnace smelting reduction processes are typical smaller and use coal and oxygen directly to reduce iron ore into a usable product Smelting reduction processes come in two basic varieties two stage or single stage
Get PriceIron Ore Processing Iron ore is the key raw material for steel production enterprises Generally iron ore with a grade of less than 50% needs to be processed before smelting and utilization After crushing grinding magnetic separation flotation and gravity separation etc iron is gradually selected from the natural iron ore
