Features: Iron ore is the main raw material of the steel industry and one of China's major imported commodities. The quality and grade of iron ore are fundamental to ensuring the quality of steel products. Using standardized testing methods for sampling, sample preparation, and chemical analysis of iron ore is an important means of controlling its grade and quality. Iron ore is a special commodity, unique in that it is a heterogeneous mineral product with characteristics not possessed by any other commodity. Moreover, its properties vary greatly depending on the origin, and its quality differs significantly due to differences in mining methods, transportation methods, storage methods, and management levels. Given the current strict environmental requirements, harmful elements in iron ore must also be considered. Therefore, there are many evaluation indicators for the grade and quality of iron ore, and due to its heterogeneous nature, the regulatory requirements for evaluating its grade and quality are also high. Sampling, sample preparation, and chemical analysis of iron ore must follow certain standards, ensuring a systematic approach. The development of these standards must be guided by both standards and theoretical foundations, as well as the summary of practical experience. Thus, this book, starting from the characteristic of the heterogeneity of iron ore, comprehensively elaborates on the methods and experience of sampling, sample preparation, and chemical analysis from both theoretical and practical perspectives. This book can serve as a reference tool for personnel involved in iron ore sampling, sample preparation, and chemical analysis, as well as for researchers, educators, designers, and producers in related fields. The main contents of this book include: Introduction to Iron Ore Testing, Theoretical Basis of Testing, Principles of Sampling and Sample Preparation, Basic Principles of Chemical Analysis, Methods of Sampling and Sample Preparation for Iron Ore, Testing Methods for Precision and Deviation in Ore Sampling and Preparation, Physical Property Determination of Iron Ore, Chemical Analysis of Iron Ore, and the Properties and Safe Use of Common Chemical Reagents in Iron Ore Testing. This book has the following features:
1. Authority. The book is organized and written by experts from the Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, most of whom come from the front line of inspection and quarantine.
2. Strong Practicality. Based on theoretical analysis, the book summarizes practical experience in iron ore testing, systematically elaborating on sampling, sample preparation, and chemical analysis methods, providing a comprehensive reference tool for inspection and quarantine personnel, as well as for those in production, research, education, and design. The book comprehensively introduces an overview of iron ore, the theoretical basis of testing, statistical testing, correlation and regression analysis, the basic principles of sampling and sample preparation, and the basic principles of chemical analysis.
