Answers
The fourth common element and second most abundant metal on Earth’s crust is iron. About five per cent of the Earth’s crust is composed of iron. The metal is chemically active and is found in nature combined with other elements in rocks and soils. In its natural state, iron is chemically bonded with oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, or sulphur in a variety of minerals.
Iron ore mining is basically cascade array of ore extraction, ore preparation (crushing and grading/sizing), storage and transportation. To carry out extraction operation mines division is equipped with various classes of machineries ranging from deep bore driller, explosives and blasting equipment, earth movers like dozers, loaders, dumpers etc. Ore preparation is about bring the ore within a range of particular size or grade suitable for downstream operation. The preparation plant is equipped with crushers, screens, and conveyors etc. The transportation involves use of loaders, trucks, dumpers, rail etc.
The operation support services ranges from maintenance facility for earth movers and other vehicles, electrical supply to crusher and belt drives, water pumping and distribution for sprinklings in operation areas and domestic use, Operation Control Centre, Mines Admin Offices etc. The study aimed at assessing energy (electrical) performance of various equipment and systems having significant energy consumption and find scope for reduction in Iron ore open cast mines.
