Comminution and liberation response of iron ore types in

Introduction. Demand for iron ore is strongly dependent on the steel industry, since nearly 98% of it is used in steelmaking (USGS, 2019). After the boom in prices in the commodities, pulled by the growth in steel production in China, there was a strong drop in iron ore prices caused by a significant increase in supply of this commodity in the market, besides a reduction in its demand.
