Iron
Iron ore is abundant, but its isolation is an energy-intensive process. The chief ores are the oxides hematite, Fe 2 O 3, and magnetite, ... The purification occurs because the iron oxide bed oxidizes the carbon to carbon monoxide and the sulfur, phosphorus and silicon to their oxides. These oxides become part of the slag. As the iron becomes ...

The iron ore processing industry produces usable concentrations of iron-bearing material by removing nonferrous rock (gangue) from low-grade ore. In the United States, predominant iron ore is taconite which is a hard, banded, low-grade ore. Ninety-nine percent of the crude iron ore produced in the United States is taconite.
