Iron ore : mineralogy, processing and environmental sustainability

Iron Ore: Mineralogy, Processing and Environmental Issues summarizes recent, key research on the characterization of iron ores, including important topics such as beneficiation (separation and refining), agglomeration (e.g., production of pellets or powders), blast furnace technology for smelting, and environmental issues relating to its production.

The text is an ideal reference on the topic during a time when iron ore production has increased significantly, driven by increasing demand from countries such as India and China.

• Provides a comprehensive overview of the global iron ore industry, exploring its characteristics and characterization
• Expert analysis of quality requirements for iron production, iron ore agglomeration technologies, environmental issues, and low-emission technologies
• Timely text to accompany the increased iron ore production occurring in developing countries like India and China
