Characteristics of Iron Ore
Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The most common types of iron ore are:
- Hematite:High-grade ore containing about 70% iron.
- Magnetite:Contains about 72% iron and is magnetic.
- Limonite:Contains 55-60% iron.
- Íránsìn:Contains about 48% iron.
