Want this question answered?
Bauxite . Chemically it is Aluminium oxide (Al2O3)
hematite with 66% iron in it. In olden days haematite is directly fed into the blast furnace
Well this is the part where i start acting like a nerd. HI MY NAMES JACK HARRISON AND BASICALLY THERE IS 25 METALS IN HEMATITE AND A GREAT BIG BRAIN BELONGING TO A CRAB
Iron ore is not normally smelted, instead it is reduced in a blast furnace with a mixture of coke & limestone. The coke burns removing the oxygen from the iron ore and melting the resulting iron. The limestone neutralizes acidic sulfur compounds and acts as a flux.
Metals are extracted from ores. An ore is a rock that contains enough of a mineral (metal compound) for the metal to be extracted from it. Most metals are extracted from an ore by reduction with carbon or by electrolysis.
Hematite is a mineral made of iron and oxygen. It can be gray, red, or brown.
haematite
The principal ore for iron is haematite.
The main raw material for iron-making is iron ore.There are two iron ore minerals:haematite and magnetite.Actually haematite is an ore where iron is extracted.One can say that haematite is a source if iron.
Iron ore (haematite) and lead ore (galena) are both both obtained through mining and quarrying.
Iron ore is the IMPURE mineral rock that contains Haematite (Iron (III) Oxide).
Bauxite . Chemically it is Aluminium oxide (Al2O3)
To turn iron ore into iron requires a fuel and a flux, frequently coal and limestone. It usually costs less money to ship the iron ore than it does the coal and the limestone, especially if those two are close together. So shipping costs are the reason.
The Ukraine has huge deposits of coal and iron ore. Therefore, the main minerals in Ukraine are carbon and haematite.
Iron ore is typically an oxide of iron. Haematite is very commonly mined this is a mineral form of Fe2O3. Magnetite has been mined , this is a form of Fe3O4.
Ore, as in rocks which contain sufficient metal to extract and it is economical to do so. Ores include bauxite, a copper ore. Ores can be used to extract precious metals which in turn can be used for electrical wiring, in the case of copper or as a catalyst, in the case of Haematite, Iron ore (the haber process).
Iron is extracted from haematite.
