Total iron

The flow sheet can be tailored to the specific characteristics of the ore. The unit operations can be combined or modified in many ways to upgrade the total iron content in the ore from levels as low as 20—38% up to levels of 65—70%. 

Metallization is defined as the percent of total iron in the DRI which has been converted to metallic iron. For example, DRI having a total iron content of 92% and a metaUic iron content of 85%, has 92.4% metaUization. 

Ferrous foundries consist of two types steel foundries in which electric furnaces (EAF and induction) are used, and iron foundries in which hot-blast cupolas and/or electric furnaces are used. Electric furnaces use virtually 100% scrap charges. Cupolas are shaft furnaces which use preheated air, coke, fluxes, and metallic charges. Scrap is over 90% of the metallic charge. Cupolas accounted for about 64% of total iron foundry scrap consumption in 1994 and electric furnaces accounted for about 34%. The balance was consumed by other furnaces, such as air furnaces. Iron foundry products have a high carbon content and the scrap charge usually contains a high percentage of cast iron or is used in combination with pig iron.

Basalt at middle Miocene age erupted at Northeast Japan was studied by Shuto (1989) and Tsuchiya (1988, 1989) who showed that basaltic magma generated in deep mantle. Dudas et al. (1983) showed that pre-Kuroko ore basalt in the Hokuroku district has Mg number (MgO/(MgO + FeO )), where FeO is total iron content expressed as FeO, in the range 0.85-0.67 0.01, suggesting that the basalt is a relatively primitive, unfractionated, and mantle-derived melt.

Iron is, as part of several proteins, such as hemoglobin, essential for vertebrates. The element is not available as ion but mostly as the protein ligands transferrin (transport), lactoferrin (milk), and ferritin (storage), and cytochromes (electron transport) (Alexander 1994). Toxicity due to excessive iron absorption caused by genetic abnormalities exists. For the determination of serum Fe a spectrophoto-metric reference procedure exists. Urine Fe can be determined by graphite furnace (GF)-AAS, and tissue iron by GF-AAS and SS-AAS (Alexander 1994 Herber 1994a). Total Iron Binding Capacity is determined by fuUy saturated transferrin with Fe(III), but is nowadays mostly replaced by immunochemical determination of transferrin and ferritin.

Iron-deficiency anemia in chronic PN patients may be due to underlying clinical conditions and the lack of iron supplementation in PN. Parenteral iron therapy becomes necessary in iron-deficient patients who cannot absorb or tolerate oral iron. Parenteral iron should be used with caution owing to infusion-related adverse effects. A test dose of 25 mg of iron dextran should be administered first, and the patient should be monitored for adverse effects for at least 60 minutes. Intravenous iron dextran then may be added to lipid-free PN at a daily dose of 100 mg until the total iron dose is given. Iron dextran is not compatible with intravenous lipid emulsions at therapeutic doses and can cause oiling out of the emulsion. Other parenteral iron formulations (e.g., iron sucrose and ferric gluconate) have not been evaluated for compounding in PN and should not be added to PN formulations.
