Iron ore and related manufacturing mineral in India

Iron & steel is the crux for industrial development in a country. The vitality of the iron & steel industry largely influences the economic status of a country. Iron ore being the essential raw-material for iron & steel industry, its mining arguably is the cynosure of all mining activities undertaken by any country. With the total resources of over 25 billion tonnes of hematite (Fe203) and magnetite (Fe304), India is one of the leading producers as well as exporters
of iron ore in the world.

Magnetite Ore Crusher

Hematite and magnetite iron ore in India

Hematite and magnetite are the most important iron ores in India. About 60% hematite ore deposits are found in the Eastern Sector. About 87% magnetite ore deposits occur in Southern Sector, especially in Karnataka. Of these, hematite is considered to be superior because of its high grade. Indian deposits of hematite belong to the Precambrian Iron Ore Series and the ore is within banded iron ore formations occurring as massive, laminated, friable and also in powdery form.

Pig Iron

Pig iron is one of the basic raw materials required by foundry and casting industry for manufacturing various types of castings for the Engineering sector. The post-liberalisation regime-has witnessed expressions of interest from a large number of entrepreneurs for setting up mini-blast furnaces for production of hot metal/pig iron.

Coal Washeries

Magnetite ore is used as heavy media in coal washeries. There are 19 washeries for coking coal and 31 washeries for non-coking coal with 32.8 million tpy and 97.3 million tpy raw coal capacity, respectively.

Magnetite Ore Crusher

Magnetite has a Mohs hardness of 5–6 and a black streak. Due to the high hardness,jaw crusher,cone crusher and mobile crusher are usually used as magnetite ore crusher and ball mill, MTW ginding mill, MTW grinding mill and LM series grinding machine are used as magnetite grinding machines. Jaw crushers, cone crushers and some other equipments are used in magnetite crushing plant, through the final products size is able to meet sand size. Ball mills are usually used in magnetite ore grinding plant and magnetite processing plants. Also, some other magnetite ore concentrating equipments like spiral classifier, rod mill,magnetic separator are widely used in magnetite beneficiation plants.
