The metallic iron extracted from rocks and minerals is identified as iron ores which come with variations as the color of iron ores change according to the rich presence of iron oxides. In its essence, an iron ore is a mixture of minerals, and it constitutes the raw material necessary for the steel production. As a matter of fact statistics show that 98% of mined iron is used to produce steel whereas the remaining 2% includes the manufacture of automobile parts, plastics, cosmetics, and etc
A fundamental component for the iron and steel industries, iron ore is primarily used in the manufacture of pig iron necessary for steelmaking. Pig iron, which is also known as crude iron, is a product that is made by the process of smelting iron ores in a blasting furnace at high temperatures. Apart from its use in the production of pig iron and ultimately steel, iron ore is also employed in the making of vehicle parts, catalysts as well as cosmetics industry.
