DRI is produced by reducing iron ore to a purity of 90-97% iron through a process using reducing gases like hydrogen and carbon monoxide at high temperatures below iron's melting point. In an RHF, iron ore and carbon pellets are heated on a rotating hearth through burners as the iron oxides are reduced over 6-12 minutes to produce DRI pellets.

These complex iron ores present unique mine planning and processing challenges and can impact feasibility through to handling, process planning, mining, agglomeration and iron-making. In this context, comprehensive material understanding is essential to optimise blending strategies to adjust processing variables and to maximise product performance.

The final stage in iron ore processing is ironmaking, where the iron ore is transformed into molten iron through a process called reduction. The most common method of ironmaking is the blast furnace route. In a blast furnace, iron ore, coke (carbon), and fluxes (limestone or dolomite) are loaded into the furnace from the top.
