Definition
Iron is a chemical element with the symbol Fe and atomic
number 26, belonging to sub-level element d and located at
the top of group VIII elements in the periodic table;
Measured in terms of mass, iron ranks first in terms of the
abundance of chemical elements in the earth (32.1 %),
especially in the inner and outer core of the earth; Oxygen,
silicon, and aluminum are the second metals abundant in the
earth's crust, so iron ores are widespread in a number of
.regions of the world
01
 Iron ores
Iron ore is the raw material that is mainly involved in the
Iron ores
manufacture of solid iron, which is a material that is extracted
from rocks from various layers of the earth, and this iron ore
is placed inside a furnace with very high temperatures so that
it is melted and filtered from the dirt stuck to it to leave iron
.ore pure and clear
02
:Types of iron ores-3

There are three basic types of iron ore that differ among
themselves in terms of iron production rates, availability
rates in nature, quality, and physical features of each, and
:these ores are

Hematite ore
1
Maginite ore
2
Limonite ore
3
The process of extracting iron from the layers of the earth is Extraction of
done through explosions, where the cracking of large rocks
occurs into rocks of small sizes that are easy to transport by
large trucks, then grinding them and transferring the extracted
iron ores
iron ore to a high-temperature furnace, where coke is burned
to melt iron ore and to produce carbon monoxide, where it

04
interacts with iron oxide to extract elemental iron, and
.limestone is added to purify it from impurities

place as the largest iron Brazil Russia China Ukraine

 Import and export of all kinds of iron in Egypt
The volume of Egyptian iron exports amounted to about $1.78 billion in 2021
There are 24 iron and steel manufacturing companies operating in Egypt, the most prominent of them

Ferryman Steel Ezz iron

The iron of the Egyptians Exotic iron

Suez Steel Bishay Iron and Steel

 :Iron has many different uses, including
The manufacture of steel and alloys, which are important
.materials in construction and industrial works
Uses of iron
Iron has been used for decorative purposes and as a
.weapon since ancient times
Iron is used to make vehicles such as cars, trucks, and

09
.buses
Iron Recycling
Iron recycling Iron is recycled through remelting and reshaping processes inside iron and steel furnaces, where these processes are
known as internal processes, while iron can be recycled through external processes as well, and recycling operations are much cheaper
than producing a new metal, which by-products of organic compounds are used, such as ammonia, which is sold as an aqueous
.solution, or mixed with sulfuric acid, to form ammonium sulfate, so that it is dried, and sold as fertilizer

:There are several stages of iron recycling

Sorting .1 Tearing .2 Media .3 4. Shear Compression .5
