2025423· What needs demystifying? Ironmaking and steelmaking often go hand in hand, occurring in the same place in ‘integrated steel plants’, where iron ore is reduced to iron, and molten iron is used to make steel. The shift to a decarbonising, renewable energy-based economy creates drivers that will transform how and where iron is made. Transporting […]
Safe carriage of Iron ore & other iron concentrates in bulk Iron ore is used for the production of metallic iron in steel-making. Although some 45 countries export natural iron ore resources, seven countries provide 75% of the total exported. The two largest exporters are Brazil and Australia, with about 33% of total world exports each.
Iron ore pellets are marble-sized balls of iron ore that are fused with clay for transportation and used in steel manufacture. The process of making pellets from iron ore is called pelletizing. The manufacture of steel from low-grade iron ore involves processes like mining, crushing, separating, concentrating, mixing, pelletizing, and shipping.
Pellets are normally produced in the form of Globules from very fine iron ore (normally –100 mesh). Raw iron ore can be transformed into “pellets” in a process that combines agglomeration and thermal treatment.
