From blasting to crushing to separation – more than 85% of the iron mined in the United States is mined in northeastern Minnesota to make our nation's steel. Blasting Taconite is a very hard rock. Using explosives, the taconite is blasted into small pieces. Transportation The taconite pieces are scooped up by electric shovels. Each...
the Residual Risk and Technology Review for this source category on July 28, 2020. • EPA issued the initial air toxics standards for Taconite Iron Ore Processing on October 30, 2003. The rule applies to major source facilities engaged in separating and concentrating iron ore from taconite (a low-grade iron ore) to produce taconite pellets.
• The technology review of the standards for the Taconite Iron Ore Processing source category did not identify any developments that would further reduce air toxics emissions beyond the original NESHAP.
Cleveland-Cliffs owns or co-owns five operating iron ore mines in Michigan and Minnesota, producing various grades of iron ore pellets.
Taconite is a flint-like type of rock containing low-grade iron ore. Vast reserves of taconite, with iron concentrations of 30-50%, were discovered in 1870 near present-day Babbitt, on the Mesabi Iron Range.
