This is similar to the porosity values of the commercial lump iron ores used in the blast furnace (5.9% for MBR Brazil iron ore) and the direct reduction processes (1.2–5.2% for Orissa India iron ores) . Furthermore, sample Ug5, whose chemical composition is similar to that of samples Ug1-4 had a higher porosity value of 14.3%.
