Abstract The iron ore production has significantly expanded in recent years, owing to increasing steel demands in developing countries. However, the content of iron in ore deposits has deteriorated and lowgrade iron ore has been processed. The fines resulting from the concentration process must be agglomerated for use in iron and steelmaking.

"The iron processing reaction" As shown in the reaction, C (carbon as a solid) and O2 (oxygen as a gas) combine to form CO (carbon monoxide, a gas). This CO reacts with Fe2O3 (iron ore) to create Fe (iron) and CO2 (carbon dioxide, a gas). So adding carbon and oxygen to raw iron ore reduces it.

Concentration is the second step in taconite ore processing. As the iron ore minerals are liberated by the crushing steps, the ironbearing particles must be concentrated. Because only about 33 percent of the crude taconite becomes a shippable product for iron making, a large amount of gangue is generated.
