Abstract:
Iron is the principal raw material for steel industries and Hematite is a principal ore of iron. Quantitative and qualitative estimation of iron in its ores is a crucial factor before its extraction. In this work, quantitative chemical analysis of iron was carried out from the collected seventy-two hematite samples from Pokhari, Nawalparasi. Sampling of the hematite ore was performed by channel sampling method. Chemical analysis was carried out by gravimetric, titrimetric, UV-Vis spectrophotometric and atomic absorption spectroscopic methods. The findings of different parameters in percentage areas follows: loss on ignition (1.76 ± 0.17), silica (47.06 ± 4.01), and iron (36.75 ± 2.50) by titrimetric analysis. Based on the chemical analysis, the Fe content in the collected hematite sample is in intermediate range. Thus, for the profitable iron extraction, other factors such as coverage of ores, extraction costs, and market value should be considered.
