Mineralogical, chemical, and physical characteristics of iron ore
Magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) is a common iron ore mineral in iron ore deposits of metasedimentary and magmatic has an inverse spinel structure and is partly altered in nearsurface environments to hematite or kenomagnetite (Waychunas, 1991).Hematite is commonly thought to form from oxidation of magnetite in the nearsurface environment although Ohmoto (2003) demonstrated that the ...
