Definition Iron/Iron Ore

Iron ores are mixtures of chemical compounds of the iron with rocks

The chemical compounds of the iron in the iron ore are essentially ferric oxides, i.e. chemical compounds of the iron with oxygen, or iron carbonates

Iron Ore sources at Lahn area

In Germany there are some iron ore occurrences, e.g. in the Lahn Dill area.

The ore reserves become world-wide estimated on over 115 billion tons ore.

Particularly the Lahn Dill area was shaped by mining industry.

From the early Middle Ages to the second half of 20th Century were this still the most important locations in completely Germany.

Dismantling methods of

Iron OreDismantling methods: In principle one differentiates between two techniques: Over days: The raw material is promoted by excavation to open pits.

Under days: Promotion by lugs underground put on or pits in the so-called mountains (mining industry).

Processing of Iron Ore

After promotion of the iron ores these are often already cleaned in the first stage of the processing.

Afterwards the large ore must be cut up.This work by cone or jaw crushers one settles.

After that the iron ore is separated over magnetic separators and converted to iron ore pellets.
