Poster Print : Processed iron ore
Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Processed iron ore
Processed iron ore or iron concentrate in large piles beside docks, awaiting export. The iron ore that is mined from the ground can be refined by crushing, followed by magnetic extraction to produce the iron concentrate. This is then shipped to furnaces that smelt the iron concentrate to produce pig-iron, a crude form of iron that can be processed further to produce materials such as steel. Photographed in Chile

Bring this evocative image into your home or office space and ignite a sense of wonder and appreciation for the wonders of science and industry.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the immense piles of processed iron ore or iron concentrate stacked beside docks, eagerly awaiting export. The journey of this valuable mineral begins deep underground, where it is extracted from the earth and refined through a meticulous process. First, the raw iron ore undergoes crushing before undergoing magnetic extraction to produce the sought-after iron concentrate. Once transformed into its concentrated form, this precious cargo is shipped to furnaces that specialize in smelting. These powerful furnaces work their magic on the iron concentrate, transforming it into pig-iron – a crude yet essential form of iron that serves as a foundation for further processing. Pig-iron holds great potential as it can be refined even more to create materials like steel. The location of this remarkable scene is none other than Chile, an industrious country known for its rich geology and mining expertise. The dockyard showcased here represents just one aspect of Chile's thriving mining industry and technological advancements. As we gaze upon these towering heaps of processed iron ore against a backdrop of bustling activity at the docks, we are reminded not only of Chile's significant contribution to global exports but also the intricate processes involved in harnessing Earth's resources responsibly. This photograph encapsulates both the grandeur and complexity inherent in our modern industrial world while offering us a glimpse into South American ingenuity at its finest.
