The amount of material (in kilo grams) will occupy the volume of one cubic meter. it is approximately 2.2t/m3 for pellets.
Iron ore is a mixture.
The average weight of iron per cubic meter is 2500 kilograms. Therefore 46 cubic meters of iron equal to 115 tons in mass (115 000 kilograms). However, the density of iron varies. There are conversion tables on internet. If you know the density of ore-iron it will become easier to find out the volume to mass ratio more accurately.
The mass of iron ore is 6,085 kg.
Iron ore can be found almost anywhere deep underground. The top countries mining iron ore are China followed by Australia, Brazil, India and Russia. If you google "china iron ore map" in images you'll find the most active iron ore mines in the world.
why do we quarry for iron ore
Iron Ore fines are Iron Ore that have been crushed to under 10mm. Iron Ore pellets are Iron Ore fines that have been concentrated and bonded together to form small balls, or pellets.
The solid density of iron ore generally lies between 3.35 and 5.6 tonnes per cubic metre, depending on the particular characteristics of the ore being considered. When the ore is broken up, air spaces are formed between the particles of ore, and the "apparent" density will be lower. The loose bulk density is one measure, the compacted bulk density is another, and the fluidised bulk density is yet another. The loose bulk density is measured on a sample of loose ore, that has not been allowed to self-compact over time, and has not been mechanically compacted. It will generally measure between 50% and 60% of the value of the solid density.
The density of iron ore is variable. Iron ore refers to a rocktype that contains iron minerals. The type and concentration of the iron minerals as well the type and concentration of non-iron minerals determines the density of the iron ore. Typical high grade iron ore is approximately 65% hematite and 35% other (commonly silicate). The density of hematite is approximately 5 g/cc and a general density for crustal rocks (silicates) is approximately 2.67 g/cc. Therefore iron ore that is 65% hematite and 35% silicate would have a density of approximately 4 g/cc.
This is a mechanical test conducted of iron oxide pellets to assess the mechanical impact on pellets during transportation through sea
Spiral Concentrators are used in Iron ore beneficiation plants for Gravity Separation. It separates the higher density Iron Ore from Silica based on density difference as concentrate, middling & tailing.
The density of Iron ore solid is 4/4.5 T/cu.m as against dust at 2.8/3 T/cu.m
abrasive bulk density: 120-150 lb/cu.ft
The Edmund Fitzgerald was carrying a full load of taconite iron ore pellets.
Vale is the world's largest producer of iron ore and pellets and the world's second largest diversified mining company and present in more than 30 countries.
