One of the most important reasons of using Hematite in blast furnace is that it is very easy to fuse at very lower temperature , as here iron is not strongly bonded with oxygen & as a result we can easily break the bond between iron and oxygen (Fe2O3) and extract metallic iron economically.Read more

another reason depends on its availability in nature, i.e. it is easily available.
Thank you
swastib given crct answer. I want to add one more point. usually magnetite ore has higher amount of gauge compare to hematite. so if you use magnetite it will generate lot of slag. so we are using hematite.
