The iron and steel manufacturing sector directly accounts for 7–9% of global CO2 emissions. Raw material preparation, such as iron ore sintering, pelletizing, and cock making, is the major CO2 emitter. As climate change becomes a bigger concern, steel manufacturers need to lower CO2 emissions without hindering efficiency or increasing costs. In recent years, the …

Description and properties of common iron ore minerals. Iron ore minerals are rocks or minerals that contain iron in concentrations high enough to be economically extracted. Common iron ore minerals include: Hematite (Fe2O3): Hematite is the most abundant and important iron ore mineral. It is typically steel-gray to black in color and has a metallic luster.

(CaO) and magnesium oxide. M3 samples has only three major compounds of iron ore, alumina and silica. From Figure 1 above the average percentage of iron ore is 52% of Fe 2 O 3. The Samia iron ore have the least iron ore of between 18-25% with an average of 23% for the three samples studied.

Kenya relies heavily on the importation of manufactured goods with iron and steel products forming the bulk of the raw materials. The country has some iron ore deposits and coal reserves among other input for steel making. The main deposits of the ore are found in Kishushe, Marimanti and Samia.

The concentration of low-grade iron ores is vital to the continued availability of iron and steel in our everyday lives (Eisele and Kawatra, 2003;Kawatra and Claremboux, 2021a;Zhang et al., 2021).
