Used in
Magnetite is a key catalyst in the Haber-Bosch ammonia synthesis and in the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide and organic contaminants for environmental applications.
View application
Adding measured amounts of magnetite to primers and paints turns any wall into a magnetic surface after painting.
View application
Tasmania Mines magnetite is a natural, high-grade iron source for Ferric Chloride and Ferric Sulphate flocculants used to treat wastewater, effluent and potable water.
View application
Magnetite iron oxide with its high iron content is used as an additive in foundry sands to significantly reduce surface defects and improve casting quality.
View application
Magnetite is used as a solid lubricant in automotive brake manufacturing to homogenise the friction coefficient and stabilise heat transfer from pad to disc.
View applicationThe Kara mine has been productive since 1978 and the mine resources exceed 20Mt. With our current processing facility, overburden and tailings storage facilities our planned mine life is over 25 years.
