Description
This dataset is a market activity dataset, representing the combination of provincial 'magnetite ore' markets within the Central China region, i.e., the 'magnetite ore' market group for Central China. Transportation losses, transport vehicles, and transportation infrastructure are not included in this dataset; they are covered in the respective provincial market datasets. Central China region includes: Henan, Hunan, and Hubei. Data sources include the China Communications Yearbook, China Energy Statistics Yearbook, China Statistical Yearbook, and General Administration of Customs' customs statistics, among others.
Activity Description
This dataset is a market activity dataset. Each market represents a consumption mix of products within a specific region, connecting suppliers with consumers of the same product within that region. Markets encompass both producers and importers of the product within the same geographical area. Additionally, markets account for the transportation of products to consumers, as well as losses occurring during the transport process.
Process Description
Iron ore is the primary raw material for steel production, and steel is one of the core materials for modern industry and infrastructure development. China is the world's largest steel producer and has a significant demand for iron ore. Based on the natural types of ore and ore processing technological properties, ores are classified into three types according to the TFe/FeO ratio. Among them, magnetite ore (TFe/FeO ≤ 3.5): steel-gray to dark gray, granular in texture, with massive, banded, spotted, or disseminated structures.
