What are some complex and difficult-to-process iron ores?

What are some complex and difficult-to-process iron ores?

There are numerous types of iron-bearing minerals; approximately 300 types have been discovered so far, with over 170 being common. However, under current technological conditions, the main types with industrial value are magnetite, hematite, maghematite, ilmenite, limonite, and siderite. Among these, weakly magnetic iron ores such as limonite, siderite, and hematite are the most difficult to process. The physicochemical properties of weakly magnetic iron minerals and gangue minerals in these difficult-to-process iron ores are shown in Tables 4-11 and 4-12. The reserves of various difficult-to-process iron ores in my country are shown in Table 4-13.
