What is the density of iron ore?
The density of iron ore is variable. Iron ore refers to a rocktype that contains iron minerals. The type and concentration of the iron minerals as well the type and concentration of non-iron minerals determines the density of the iron ore. Typical high grade iron ore is approximately 65% hematite and 35% other (commonly silicate). The density of hematite is approximately 5 g/cc and a general density for crustal rocks (silicates) is approximately 2.67 g/cc. Therefore iron ore that is 65% hematite and 35% silicate would have a density of approximately 4 g/cc.
