Description. Iron Ore (fines) Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The ores are usually rich in iron oxides and vary in colour from dark grey, bright yellow, deep purple, to rusty red. The iron itself is usually found in the form of magnetite (Fe 3 O 4), hematite (Fe 2 O 3), goethite (FeO(OH)), limonite …

 — The iron ore production has significantly expanded in recent years, owing to increasing steel demands in developing countries. However, the content of iron in ore deposits has deteriorated and low-grade iron ore has been processed. The fines resulting from the concentration process must be agglomerated for use in iron and steelmaking. …

In steel industry and in mines, a significant amount of ultra-fines waste iron oxides and iron ore fines is generated. Utilizations of these fines are required to reduce the environmental ...

 — A new prospective in the Egyptian steelmaking industry using pure hydrogen to reduce waste iron ore fines in a two-stage fluidized bed reactor ... is to be proposed to verify the entitlement of applying this route in Egypt as it is a promising alternative for recycling these waste iron ore fines and producing liquid steel with very blameless ...

 — The sinter plant that converts the iron ore fines into a desirable blast furnace feed, offers an avenue for recycling wastes. One of the several wastes that are produced at an iron and steel plant is the undersized pellet fines, which cannot be directly used in iron making. The present study evaluated the influence of these pellet fines on the sintering …

Mandatory application of the iron ore fines schedule as per the IMSBC Code requirements: applies only to iron ore cargoes containing BOTH: (a) 10% or more of fine particles less than 1 mm (D 10 ≤ 1 mm) ; and (b) 50% or more of particles less than 10 mm ( D 50 ≤ 10 mm).
