Magnetic techniques also are used. The upgraded ore, or concentrate, is in the form of a very fine powder that is physically unsuitable for blast furnace use.
World resources are estimated to be greater than 800 billion tons of crude ore containing more than 230 billion tons of iron. The only source of primary iron is iron ore, but before all that iron ore can be turned into steel, it must go through the sintering process. Sinter is the primary feed material for making iron and steel in a blast furnace.
