Iron ore
Our Iron-ore Hematite stands out for its superior quality and versatility, making it a preferred choice worldwide. Leveraging our extensive experience in the industry, we ensure seamless supply chain solutions, from sourcing to distribution. Committed to sustainability and innovation, we continue to set industry standards, delivering value and reliability to our clients across the globe. Essential for steelmaking, our iron ore is sourced and processed to varying grades, vital for industrial applications, characterized by iron content, silica, and alumina impurities.
Capacity and Capabilities
As a leading producer in India, we boast an annual capacity of 2.5 million tons, ensuring a steady supply to meet market demands and propel industrial growth and innovation.
Our plant is equipped to beneficiate 1.5 million tons of hematite annually, enhancing the ore quality and value through advanced beneficiation processes, ensuring superior products for our customers.
ROM production
From our operations, we offer higher and lower-grade run-of-mine (ROM) ores. Our portfolio encompasses lower-grade variants of chemical compositions of 48-50% iron, 25-27% silica (up to 30%), and 3% alumina.
Concentrate production:
Through meticulous processing, Grade 1 ore is transformed into concentrate grade, boasting 63% iron, 4-5% silica, and less than 1% alumina, ensuring optimal performance in industrial applications.
Our concentrates, available as natural fines sourced directly from the earth and washed fines processed in our advanced plant, boast remarkable enhancements in composition and quality. Initially comprising an iron content of 58-59%, our natural fines undergo meticulous processing in our plant, resulting in a significant increase to 60% iron content in the washed fines.. Additionally, our processing techniques effectively reduce the silica content from an initial 10% to a refined 8%, and the alumina content is reduced to a mere 2%, ensuring superior purity and minimizing impurities in the final product.
Market Focus
We’re positioned to serve the iron ore needs of both domestic and international markets, with a strategic priority placed on the lucrative opportunities within China.
The Chemical Formula - Fe2O3 (Ferric oxide)
| Streak | Luster | Diaphaneity | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chemical Properties | |||
| Iron Content : | Hematite is a rich source of iron, typically containing about 70% iron by weight. | ||
| Magnetic property : | Feebly magnetic because of some impurities of magnetite within | ||
| Stability : | Hematite is a stable compound under normal conditions. It is resistant to chemical weathering and remains relatively unchanged over long periods of time. | ||
| Redox Properties : | Hematite can undergo redox reactions, meaning it can both give and accept electrons. It can be reduced to form magnetite (Fe3O4) or metallic iron in the presence of reducing agents. | ||
| Acid-Base Behavior : | Hematite is insoluble in water and most acids. It is stable and unaffected by weak acids like dilute hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid. However, concentrated acids and strong alkalis can attack and dissolve hematite over time. | ||
| Reactivity : | Hematite can react with various chemicals under appropriate conditions. For example, it can react with carbon monoxide (CO) to produce iron metal and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the process known as the reduction of hematite. | ||
