Room and pillar mining: Miners create pillars of ore to support the ceiling as they dig out the rest of the desired material from the space. This system may also use a continuous mining system for extracting material instead of personnel. Retreat mining: This type follows room and pillar mining until mining completes in the room. This method …

Mild steel. Mild steel is iron containing up to about 0.25% of carbon. The presence of the carbon makes the steel stronger and harder than pure iron. The higher the percentage of carbon, the harder the steel becomes. Mild steel is used for lots of things - nails, wire, car bodies, ship building, girders and bridges amongst others.

Iron ore was won by drilling and blasting (Fig. 7.1).As mining technology generally developed, so did drilling techniques and the explosives used. Smith (1990) reported that the Cleveland deposit was associated with a very strong stone roof rock (known as "dogger") allowing mine drivages to be self-supporting. However, he states …

Iron is concentrated by the process of calcinations. Once it is concentrated, the water and other volatile impurities such as sulfur and carbonates are removed. This concentrated ore is then mixed with limestone (CaCO 3) and Coke and fed into the blast furnace from the top. It is in the blast furnace that extraction of iron occurs.

Iron is mainly extracted from hematite (Fe 2 O 3) and magnetite ores. Natural or direct shipping iron ores contain between 50-70% iron and can be fed directly into the blast furnace. Fe 3 O 4 decomposes when heated to ferrous oxide (FeO) and ferric oxide (Fe 2 O 3) via Fe 3 O 4 → FeO + Fe 2 O 3. A specialized type of coal, called hard coal ...
