Iron Oxide is a black crystal or a reddish-brown powder. It is used in polishing compounds, pigments, and metallurgy. Iron Oxide fume is produced when materials containing Iron are heated, as in arc welding. DOT number UN 1376 refers to Ferrous Oxide (FeO), Iron Oxide (Spent) or Iron Sponge. Ferrous Oxide (FeO) may be formed in Oxygen-limited

While writing this, I did a quick check to confirm the compass phenomenon. Mr. Davies was spot on. From The Surveying Handbook (1995) by Russell C. Brinker and Roy Minnick: "Deposits of iron ore in parts of the United States seriously affect compasses…. Using a compass near magnetic iron ore deposits requires special study and equipment."

Because iron(II) is more soluble than iron(III), when an electron hops to an iron atom at the mineral surface, that iron(II) atom can be released into solution, and dramatically affect the chemistry and mineralogy of soils and surface waters. Iron reduction is particularly important for the mobility of contaminants in the environment.

Environmental impacts of mining largely depend on the methods used and the geological context that governs how easily the minerals can be separated from the ore material. Unlike gold mining, which often uses potentially toxic chemicals such as mercury and cyanide, gemstone mining does not depend on chemicals for extraction of the rough material.

Mining adversely affects the environment by inducing loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, and contamination of surface water, groundwater, and soil. Mining can also trigger the formation of sinkholes. The leakage of chemicals from mining sites can also have detrimental effects on the health of the population living at or around the mining site.

Regarding the environmental impact on 'Mineral Extraction' (0.07%), one would expect to observe a higher impact considering the high amounts of iron ore consumed; but this was not the case. This could indicate that impact on mineral extraction was low in comparison to impacts that are directly associated with the production process of sinter.

Iron ore. Iron doesn't occur naturally. Being highly reactive, it combines easily with other minerals to form ores. Those with the highest iron content are found near the surface of the earth and are relatively easy to mine. The principal iron ores are hematite (Fe2O3) and magnetite (Fe3O4). Most iron ore is extracted through opencast mines.
