Use of Bakal Deposit Siderite Ore in Iron and Steel Production

  • Published:
Metallurgist Aims and scope

Iron ore reserves of the Bakal ore field are estimated. Chemical and phase compositions are provided for the main deposits. The efficiency of Bakal deposit utilization in blast furnace and steel smelting processes with different preparation methods is evaluated. It is shown that siderite may only be used as a combined raw material containing iron and magnesium.
