Iron ore products refer to the general term for iron-containing raw materials used in iron and steel smelting, including steelmaking lump ore, blast furnace ironmaking lump ore, sintering lump ore powder, iron concentrate, blast furnace pellets, and direct reduction pellets. China’s iron ore product standards are shown in the table . Tables 4-4 to 4-8.
