Research Summary

Iron ore refers to a naturally occurring mineral substance from which iron can be extracted economically. It is one of the main raw materials used in the production of iron and steel. Iron ore typically exists in the form of rocks and minerals, with the most common types being hematite and magnetite. These ores contain varying percentages of iron, and the extraction process involves mining, crushing, and processing the ore to obtain iron in a usable form. The iron extracted from iron ore is a key component in the manufacturing of steel, which is widely used in construction, transportation, infrastructure, and various industrial applications. The global iron ore industry plays a crucial role in supplying the raw material needed for the production of steel, making it a vital element in the global economy.
