SELECTION OF IRON ORES: metallurgy

 SELECTION OF IRON ORES


The iron ores are taken out or extracted from earth by mining operations, While selecting the site for such mines, the following points should be carefully examined:

1. The iron ores available from mines should be rich in metallic iron content. For ores containing less percentage of metallic iron, considerable amount of coke and flux will be required and it will not be economical to manufacture
iron from such ores. 
2. The mines for the iron ores should be located suitably in both ways, geographically and geologically. By geographical location, it is meant that the mines should be easily accessible and they should be linked up with surrounding towns by suitable transport facilities. By geological location, it is meant that site for mines should not contain conditions which might develop complications in quarrying and mining operations.
3. The composition of gangue or substances associated with ore should also be carefully studied. Some substances are such that they will reduce the value of a rich iron ore while other substances are such that they will increase the value of lean iron ore.
4. The treatment and preparation to be given to the iron ores to make them suitable for blast furnace should be simple and cheap. For instance, the dense ores will require crushing or breaking up before use. This preliminary treatment becomes essential to increase the output.

A organic material manure

 An organic material used as a natural fertilizer to enrich the nutrients of soil and promote plant growth is Manure.  It primarily or mainly consists of animal waste (like cow dung, horse manure, poultry droppings) mixed with bedding materials such as straw or hay. Manure provides essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to the soil, improving its fertility and structure. Types of Manure:__ 1. Green Manure: This type of manure is made by growing and plowing under specific plants (e.g., legumes) to improve soil fertility. 2. Animal Manure: This kind of manure is produced from livestock waste, commonly used in farming. 3. Compost Manure: This kind of manure is made by decomposing organic household and garden waste into nutrient-rich humus. Benefits of Manure are as follows:__ __It enhances structure of soil by improving aeration and drainage. __It provides essential nutrients for plant growth. __It encourages microbial activity in the soil, making nutrients...

Modern farming techniques

 Modern farming techniques make agriculture more efficient, productive, and sustainable by using advanced tools and methods. Here’s a simpler explanation: { Manure and it's type } 1. Precision Farming Using tools like GPS and sensors to give plants exactly what they need—water, fertilizers, or pesticides—at the right time and place. 2. Soil-Free Farming Hydroponics: Growing plants in water with nutrients instead of soil. Aquaponics: Combining fish farming with plant growing, where fish waste fertilizes plants. 3. Vertical Farming Growing crops in stacked layers indoors, saving space and water, especially in cities. 4. Drones in Farming Small flying machines that check crops, spray pesticides, and help map farms for better management. 5. Smart Machines and AI Robots and smart tools that help plant, water, or harvest crops. AI can also predict weather and detect crop diseases. 6. Improved Seeds Scientists create seeds that produce more food, resist pests, and grow in tough con...
