The iron ore processing industry produces usable concentrations of iron-bearing material by removing nonferrous rock (gangue) from low-grade ore. In the United States, predominant iron ore is taconite which is a hard, banded, low-grade ore. Ninety-nine percent of the crude iron ore produced in the United States is taconite.

Iron ores are formed due to chemical reactions that combine iron and oxygen in marine and freshwater. The most important minerals in these deposits are iron oxides, magnetite (Fe3O4) and hematite (Fe2O3), goethite, limonite, and siderite. The ores containing large amounts of hematite or magnetite are natural or direct shipping ore.
