Most processes rely on density differences to separate light minerals from heavier ones, so the ore is crushed and ground to release the ore minerals from the gangue. Magnetic techniques also are used. The upgraded ore, or concentrate, is in the form of a very fine powder that is physically unsuitable for blast furnace use.

In the past few decades, the ironmaking industry has consumed most of the high-grade hematite ore, which was used as the main iron carrier in the blast furnace process. [1, 2] As a result, good quality hematite ores are about to run out. The available ores are becoming much more expensive and the quality is decreasing.
