iron ore testing

In the global commodities market, the value of Iron Ore is determined by its purity, chemical composition, and physical characteristics. For miners, exporters, and manufacturers in Malaysia, ensuring that your ore meets stringent international standards is not just a regulatory requirement—it is a commercial necessity.


MYCO2 provides comprehensive, ISO-accredited Iron Ore testing and analysis services designed to help you navigate industry compliance and maximize the value of your mineral assets.

Why Iron Ore Testing is Critical

Iron ore is the backbone of the global steel industry. However, the presence of impurities or sub-par physical properties can lead to significant penalties or even shipment rejection. Professional laboratory testing ensures:

Accurate Grade Determination

Knowing the exact Iron (Fe) content to price your product correctly.

Impurity Control

Identifying levels of Phosphorus, Silica, Alumina, and Sulfur which affect smelting efficiency.

Logistics Safety

Determining Transportable Moisture Limits (TML) to prevent liquefaction during maritime transport.

Our Comprehensive Testing Capabilities

At MYCO2, our laboratories are equipped with advanced instrumentation to provide a full suite of chemical and physical analyses:

1. Chemical Composition Analysis

Using technique like Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP), we provide precise data on:

  • Total Iron (Fe) content
  • Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) and Aluminium Oxide (Al2O3)
  • Trace elements (Phosphorus, Sulfur, Manganese, etc.)
  • Loss on Ignition (LOI)

2. Physical Property Testing

Understanding how the ore behaves under stress and heat is vital for blast furnace productivity. Our tests include:

  • Size Distribution (Sieve Analysis): Determining the ratio of lumps to fines.
  • Tumble and Abrasion Index: Measuring the physical strength of the ore during handling.
  • Moisture Content: Essential for accurate dry-weight calculations.
