Packaging & Delivery
Packaging Detail : We usually bag ores in 50kg, 100kg, 150kg and 200kgs depending on . Now for a 50kg bagged ore it will contain 480 bags for 20ft container, 610 bags for 40ft container, 642 and 674 bags for 48ft and 53ft containers respectively. For a 100kg bagged ore we shall have 240 bags for 20ft container, 305 bags for 40ft container, 329 bags for a 48ft and 344 bags for a 53ft container. However, the best method to transport ores such as iron is through ship loads such as 25000 , 50000, tonnes and so on,

Iron : is a chemical element with the symbol Fe (Latin: ferrum) and atomic number 26. It is a metal in the first transition serie
Iron is the most co mm on element in the earth as a whole, and the fourth most co mm on in the Earth's crust. It is produced as a result of stellar fusion in high- mass stars, and it is the heaviest stable element produced by stellar fusion because the fusion of iron is the last nuclear fusion reaction that is exothermic. Iron is the most widely used metal, and iron compounds, which include ferrous and ferric compounds, have several uses as well. Iron has been used since ancient times, though not as early as bronze or the other copper related alloys. Iron is ubiquitous in modern life; it is used primarily for its structural strength. Pure iron is soft (softer than aluminium) , but the material is significantly strengthened by addition of minute amounts of impurities, such as carbon. Alloying iron with appropriate small amounts (up to a few per cent) of other metals and carbon produces steel, which can be 1, 000 times harder than pure iron. Iron is smelted in a blast furnace, where ore is reduced by coke to metallic iron. . Elemental iron is reactive; it oxidizes in air to give iron oxides, also known as rust. The rusting of iron and iron alloys is undesirable, and has a major economic impact. Unlike many other metals which form passivating oxide layers, iron oxides occupy more volume than iron itself. Thus, iron oxides flake off and expose fresh surfaces for corrosion. Iron oxide mixed with aluminium powder can be ignited to create a thermite reaction, used in welding and purifying ores. Iron exists from oxidation state ?2 to + 6, although +2 and +3 are the most co mm on. It forms binary compounds with the halogens and the chalcogens. Among its organometallic compounds, ferrocene was the first sandwich compound discovered. Iron plays an important role in biology, forming complexes with dioxygen as hemoglobin and myoglobin; these two compounds are co mm on oxygen transport proteins in vertebrates. Iron is of greatest importance when mixed with certain other metals and with carbon to form steels. There are many types of steels, all with different properties, and an understanding of the properties of the allotropes of iron is key to the manufacture of good quality steels. Alpha iron, also known as ferrite, is the most stable form of iron at normal temperatures. It is a fairly soft metal that can dissolve only a small concentration of carbon (no more than 0. 021% by mass at 910 °C) . Above 912 °C and up to 1400 °C ?- iron undergoes a phase transition from bcc to the fcc configuration of ?- iron, also called austenite. This is similarly soft and metallic but can dissolve considerably more carbon (as much as 2. 04% by mass at 1146 °C) . This form of iron is used in the type of stainless steel used for making cutlery, and hospital and food- service equipment. IsotopesMain Isotopes of ironNaturally occurring iron consists of four stable isotopes: 5. 845% of 54Fe, 91. 754% of 56Fe, 2. 119% of 57Fe and 0. 282% of 58Fe. The nuclide 54Fe is predicted to undergo double beta decay, but this process had never been observed experimentally for these nuclei, and only the lower limit on the half- life was established: T1/ 2>3. 1?1022 years.
