Iron ore is obtained in the conventional method of open cast or underground mining and conveying the ore to the surface preparation are where it is crushed, washed, and transported to the smelter. Here the ore is put into a blast furnace along with limestone and coke and subjected to hot air blasting and heat which converts the ore to molten iron.

Iron ore processing After the iron ore has been prepared by crushing and grinding during ore extraction, the ore is actually processed. The aim of this is to reduce the undesirable high proportion of admixtures to a desired minimum in order to increase the iron content. This is done by processes such as flotation or magnetic separation.

Iron oxide is heated in an intense flame fed by carbon fuel. Oxygen in the ore combines with carbon monoxide released from the fuel and is expelled as CO2. What is left is iron. The blast furnace's height lets the rising gases preheat the ore and gives the iron more distance to descend as it softens - so it absorbs more carbon from the fuel.
