Download. Iron (Fe) is a metallic element that constitutes % by weight of the Earth's crust and is the fourth most abundant element in the crust. Iron ores are rocks from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The principal iron ores contain hematite (Fe 2 O 3) and magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ). Hematite is an iron oxide mineral.

Iron ore is a rock from which the metal iron is extracted. About 98% of the world's iron is used to produce steel. Pure iron is an element and a soft grayishwhite metal. Other than meteorites that fall from the sky, iron is never found by itself in nature. Most iron is part of minerals that contain other elements.

DRI production. Direct reduction of iron is the removal of oxygen from iron ore or other iron bearing materials in the solid state, without melting, as in the blast furnace. The reducing agents are carbon monoxide and hydrogen, coming from reformed natural gas, syngas or coal. Iron ore is used mostly in pellet and/or lumpy form.

This is a coalbased reduction technology, applicable to both steel mill waste and iron ore fines, with coal as a Creductant agent. The reduced iron can be fed to a BF or directly into a melting process. If exposed to air for a long time, the metallic iron reoxidizes into iron oxide, deteriorating its quality.

Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site. The blast furnace was where the smelting process was started. In 1646, the original blast furnace roared to life, lit with a 3000 degree fire that was kept burning 24 hours a day for months at a time. The blast furnace is where bog ore was smelted to create cast iron "pig" bars, so named because liquid ...

How Iron Was Made. Iron making evolved over a few thousand years. Using the ancient "bloomery" method, iron ore was converted directly into wrought iron by heating the ore while at the same time melting the ore's impurities and squeezing them out with hand hammers. This is also called the "direct process." By the 1100s waterpowered hammers ...
