Critical challenges facing low carbon steelmaking technology …
Unlike general BF-grade pellet feed, the raw material used for pellet production (DR-grade pellet feed) requires a high iron content with relatively low gangue content. Normally, an iron content of 66% or more is required (65% or less for BF grade). However, when the iron is lowered, the increase in gangue may cause operational …

What is the difference between high grade ore and low
What is low-grade iron ore? Low-grade iron ore, defined as containing between 20 and 47% iron, is thought to be the primary iron-bearing lithology from which most high-grade ore deposits formed, through different processes of enrichment. … The beneficiation products are suitable for use in iron- and steel-making processes.
