Iron ore

Pellet Feed (<0.150mm): The very fine iron ore product is obtained after the flotation process. In order to be used in the steelmaking process, it should be pelletized. At smaller percentages, it can also be blended into sinter feed and used at sintering units. The iron content of the CSN Mining pellet feed usually exceeds 66%.
