Itakpe iron ore is hematite-rich, this mineral being intergrown with magnetite, and silica is the major impurity. Agbaja ore is an acidic oölite ore consisting of goethite and magnetite, with alumina, silica and phosphorus as major impurities. Itakpe is typical of a rich ore formed by magmatic segregation whilst Agbaja is a lean ore of ...
The mineralogical studies of the two deposits shows that hematite is the most dominant iron mineral in the Itakpe iron ore while magnetite is the most dominant iron mineral in the Ajabanoko iron ore. Results of the chemical composition analyses indicated that the grade of Itakpe iron ore is 36.18 % Fe while that of Ajabanoko is 34.14 % Fe.
Abstract Two iron ore samples from Nigeria have been examined using TG, DTA, EGA, XRD, and optical and electron microscopy.

Furthermore, the ore is currently being processed using magnetic and gravity methods. However, flotation plant is being constructed for future beneficiation of the iron ore [1]. The Itakpe iron ore deposit has a reserve of about 200 million tonnes with an average iron ore content of 36 %.
What is Iron Ore? Earth's most important iron ore deposits are found in sedimentary rocks.They formed from chemical reactions that combined iron and oxygen in marine and fresh waters. The two most important minerals in these deposits are iron oxides: hematite (Fe 2 O 3) and magnetite (Fe 3 O 4).These iron ores have been mined to produce …
