Main iron ores are magnetite, hematite, limonite, iron silicate ore, iron silicate mineral, etc. Iron ore beneficiation process usually consists of three stages: they are crushing raw iron ore to small particles, grinding iron ore particles to small powders and concentrating the available iron ore. At the tertiary process, the equipments are quite different from each other for the concentrating methods are different from each other.

What two processes are used to extract metals?

There are 3 means of extracting metals that are used more than any others and they are: Reduction with carbon: An ore of a metal which is less reactive than carbon is heated with carbon and the more reactive carbon will separate the metallic element from its ore e.g extraction of Iron in a blast furnace Electrolysis: An electrical current is passed through a solution of the metal ore and the metal is split from its ore and collects at an electrode, this is done for metals more reactive than carbon Extraction by other metals: As some metals are more reactive than the other this can be used to split up the metallic ore, an example of this is the extraction of Titanium which involves the use of several other more reactive metals.
