Best Answer

· Iron ore fines (less than 6mm)

· Sized ore (size 5mm to 20mm)

· Lump ore (size 10mm to 40mm)

Iron ore fines are created as a result of mining, crushing and processing the larger pieces of ore.

The reason lump is preferred is that when it is fed into a blast furnace for steel-making, its particle size allows oxygen or air to circulate around the raw materials and melt them efficiently.

The fine iron ore products have first to be processed into what is called sinter, otherwise it will effectively smother the air flow in the blast furnace.
