Magnetization of low grade iron ore using empty fruit bunch ash

Malaysian low grade iron ore is unsuitable as raw material for domestic iron making due to high energy consumption which correspond to low iron content. The present agricultural residues from domestic palm oil industry are attractive proposition as energy source for iron making. This work describes...
