Iron is one of the most important raw materials used in the world. Demand for iron is accelerating due to the development of infrastructure and the progress of industrialization. Therefore, the global iron ore mining market is expected to grow during the forecast period. Pig iron is made from iron ore. Iron ore is extracted from rocks and minerals. These ores are usually rich in iron oxide (Fe2O3) and range in color from gray, deep yellow, rusty red to deep purple. Iron is provided in the form of goethite (FeO (OH)), siderite (FeCO3), brown iron ore (FeO (OH) .n (H2O)), hematite (Fe2O3), and magnetite (Fe3O4). The main iron ore resource is in sedimentary rocks known as banded iron formation.
