Iron Ore Lumps

Applications of Iron Ore Lumps

  1. Blast Furnaces:
    • Directly fed into blast furnaces for ironmaking.
    • The size and shape allow for better airflow and efficient combustion compared to fines.
  2. Direct Reduction Iron (DRI) Processes:
    • Suitable for direct use in DRI plants without additional processing.
    • Ideal for regions where DRI is preferred over traditional steelmaking methods.
  3. Export:
    • High-grade lumps are in demand globally and are exported for steel production.
Iron Ore Lumps are larger-sized pieces of iron ore, typically above 10mm in size, that are mined and processed for use in steelmaking. These lumps are preferred over fines in certain applications due to their size, consistency, and ease of use in direct steel production processes.
