Get PriceIron ore refers to rocks or minerals from which metallic iron is extracted for commercial use These minerals appear dark grey to rusty red in color and are usually rich in iron oxides Iron occurs in these ores in the form of such chemical compounds as hematite magnetite siderite limonite or geothite Even though iron is the fourth most
Get PriceIron isotopes fractionate during hydrothermal processes Therefore the Fe isotope composition of ore forming minerals characterizes either iron sources or fluid histories The former potentially serves to distinguish between sedimentary magmatic or metamorphic iron sources and the latter allows the reconstruction of precipitation and redox processes
Get PriceIgneous and metamorphic rocks are formed by the processes accomplished in the interior of the earth Coal is an example of organically formed sedimentary rocks it is formed from the remains of plants that grew in the forests or swamps environment the plants remains are buried in the soil after being exposed to harsh temperature and
