Iron ore beneficiation: an overview

Iron ore processing operating practices vary depending upon the the quality of iron ore deposit. For high-grade ore, dry- or wet processing can carried out and for low-grade ore beneficiation is needed to make it suitable for iron making. Typical flowcharts for processing different types of deposits and their usage is given in Fig. 2.8.

Characterization and Beneficiation of Dry Iron Ore …

fine ore having size below 8 –10 mm. Dry processing of iron ore is popular for treating hard massive hematitic ores; however, fines generated during processing of goethite-rich mineral cause significant quantity loss of iron values in rejects and make the process inefficient. During dry processing of iron ore in

Iron ore beneficiation: an overview

Dry processing of iron ore: In dry processing of iron ore, ROM is generally crushed below 40 mm through three-stage crushing and thus segregated by screening into 10–40 and −10 mm fractions. For softer ore, tumbler index is generally low and hence lump ore is crushed below 10 mm to produce 100% fine product.

Dry processing of magnetic iron ores

The iron ore industry has reached the end of an unprecedented period of expansion triggered by China's demand for iron ore. Lower ore prices have led producers to focus on optimising mining operations while extracting the maximum tonnage from the infrastructure presently in place or from projects already underway. A rising global surplus is expected to further force ore prices …
