This report provides a thorough cost evaluation of the production of iron via ore mining, crushing, concentrating and extracting iron using a blast furnace. The process involves mining iron ores using surface mining, led by crushing the ores into smaller sizes, followed by concentrating the iron using density differences of different materials present in the ore or separation by magnetic techniques, after which the fine ores are sintered, where the iron ore is mixed with coke and heated. The sinter is an agglomerated form of fused iron ores suitable for the blast furnace. The sinter is introduced in the oxygen-rich blast furnace containing coal. The iron from the sinter and the ore gets collected at the hearth of the furnace. Finally, the molten or pig iron is collected from the bottom of the furnace.
