Nigeria is endowed with abundant iron ore deposit of which some of them have been investigated and some are still under investigation. Iron ore is the major raw material in Iron and steel industry. It occurs as pure iron oxide, which may be magnetite (Fe 3 O 4), hematite (Fe 2 O 3), or as hydro oxide (HFeO 2) goethite and Limonite (2Fe 2 O 3. xH 2
The research studied the dephosphorization of Nigerian Agbaja iron ore to enable its utilization in steel production. The ore contains 1.4 to 2.0% phosphorus which is beyond the acceptable limit of 0.08% for tradable steel and 0.045% for engineering applications. Beyond 0.045% phosphorus content, cold shortness is impacted to the steel.

removing phosphorus from Agbaja (Nigeria) iron oxide ore. The results of this work [18] show that phosphorus removal efficiencies at the end of the 49 days of the leaching process are 81, 63 and 68% for 5, 100 and 250 mesh grain sizes respectively. An attempt has been made in the past [19] to leach Itakpe iron oxide ore using oxalic acid
The leaching rates were significantly dependent on the particle size of the ore, stirring speed, temperature, concentration and the nature of the acids used. Within the first 120 min of leaching, iron and manganese were largely leached by HCl solution. After 120 min more iron was leached by H2SO4 solution.
