Iron ore was won by drilling and blasting (Figure 7.1).As mining technology generally developed, so did drilling techniques and the explosives used. Smith (1990) reported that the Cleveland deposit was associated with a very strong stone roof rock (known as "dogger") allowing mine drivages to be self-supporting. However, he states …Web

The iron ore processing industry produces usable concentrations of iron-bearing material by removing nonferrous rock (gangue) from low-grade ore. In the United States, predominant iron ore is taconite which is a hard, banded, low-grade ore. Ninety-nine percent of the crude iron ore produced in the United States is taconite.Web

The process of mining iron ore requires massive resources. These resources include heavy industrial mining equipment and a skilled labour force. ... The wide holes in the ground created by drilling, blasting, and ore removal are referred to as 'open pits'. Following blasting, the fractured ore is known as run of mine (ROM) ore. ROM ore is ...Web

an example metal mine might spend $5.00/t of ore on electricity; an equivalent amount on grinding media in the SAG circuit alone; but only $0.30/t of broken ore on explosives at the drill and blast stage. Yet, the blasting process is a much more energy efficient method of fragmenting rock. The need for energy efficient processing isWeb

Iron is concentrated by the process of calcinations. Once it is concentrated, the water and other volatile impurities such as sulfur and carbonates are removed. This concentrated ore is then mixed with limestone (CaCO 3) and Coke and fed into the blast furnace from the top. It is in the blast furnace that extraction of iron occurs.Web
