Why is magnetite mined as an iron ore, but biotite is not?
Both chemical formulas have iron in the so why is magnetite mined as an iron ore but biotite is not? Answer: Biotite Chemical Formula. If you look more closely at the chemical make up of both minerals it is clear that magnetite contains a far greater proportion of iron than biotite. In addition to this magnetite is far more common than biotite ...

Sponge Iron
DRI, also known as sponge iron, is the product of reducing iron oxide in the form of iron ore and steel plant wastes into metallic iron, below the melting point of iron and typically in the range of 800–1200 °C. Iron oxide is charged into shaft furnace, rotary kiln, or fluidized beds in the form of pellet, iron ore lumps, or fines. The reduction takes place using gaseous reductants (CO + H ...

Safe carriage of Iron ore & other iron concentrates in bulk
Sponge Iron (or Direct Reduced Iron (DRI)) This is produced from iron ore and is used in the manufacture of steel. It involves heating the iron ore at low temperatures without allowing it to come in contact with air. It is, therefore, important to allow the piles of sponge iron to be weathered before shipping so that its temperature drops.
