This paper gives a critical review of all relevant, published works on the stratigraphy, tectonics, magmatism, metamorphism and metallogeny of the metamorphic complex of the Drina-Ivanjica Formation in eastern Bosnia-western Serbia. Special attention was paid to all unresolved or controversial issues in geology and metallogeny of this area. The basic controversial geological problem is the ques...

Pushed to the forefront by objective drastically reduce CO 2 emissions from steel industry, a new steelmaking route based on hydrogen and electricity is subject of great deal attention numerous R&D projects. The first step chemically iron ore with H , which produced electrolysis water low-carbon electricity, then transform direct reduced into in an electric arc furnace. second conventional ...

Nigeria is blessed with abundant iron ore deposits of nearly 3 billion tonnes and other basic minerals for steel production including coal and limestone. Yet the Nigerian steel sector has collapsed principally due to shortage of raw materials particularly iron ore for the integrated steel plants and billets for the rolling mills. The privatization of the steel sector that was done in 2004-2005 ...

The process of developing an iron ore mine from exploration data through to informed mining decisions provides an example of a Complex Adaptive System. The detailed composition of an ore body (expressed as a “block model” of regularly spaced rectangular blocks) has to be estimated from initially sparse exploration data, based upon a limited number of drill holes. As planning proceeds, the data ...

Introduction: Demand for Australian mined iron ore has increased employment within this sector thus exposing increased numbers of workers to the harsh Australian climate. This study examined the influence of hot (>30C WBGT) environmental temperatures, consistent with working in North Western Australia, on iron ore mining staff. Methods: Core temperature, hydration status, perceived exertion, mo...

due to the abundance of the non-coking coal and limitations as well as the high costs of the natural gas, the presentstudy examined the direct reduction of hematite (iron oxide) ore in the temperature range of 800-1000 °c by thenon-coking coal volatiles. approximately, 74.9% of the total amounts of volatiles and gases exit the coal up to800°c. the onset temperature to exit volatiles from the no...
