Extracting Iron from Iron Ore in a Blast Furnace The metal iron and its alloy steel is one of the most important substances used by man. Humans have been discovering the metal’s uses science 3500BC. Huge quantities are used in the construction industry to construct of all kinds of vehicles. The most common from of iron known is the oxide. The Iron is extracted from the ore that contains the most amount of iron. The iron is extracted from its oxide ore called Hematite. Many things are produced

IRON ORE DRY BULK TRADE Demand for dry bulk commodities like iron ore is driven by industrial production and growth requirements. An increase in steel production stimulates the growth of iron ore shipments and also the trade. From early 2000s‚ the iron ore market began a transformation following China’s increasing demand for steel. World production of iron ore exceeded 1 billion tonnes in 2002. International iron ore trade reached record levels at 512 million tonnes (Mt). Price negotiations
