The main steps in iron manufacturing are as follows: 1. Mining of Iron Ore: Iron ore is primarily obtained from two types of minerals: hematite and magnetite. These ores are mined from the earth and brought to the surface for processing. 2. Iron Ore Processing: The mined ore is crushed and ground into a fine powder. The powder is then concentrated using methods like gravity separation, magnetic separation, or flotation to remove impurities. 3. Blast Furnace Process: The concentrated iron ore is then heated in a blast furnace along with coke (a form of carbon) and limestone (used to remove impurities). In the furnace, the coke reacts with oxygen to produce carbon monoxide, which in turn reduces the iron ore (iron oxide) to molten iron. This molten iron is also referred to as pig iron, which contains a hig...
