Iron ore tailing/slime (-150 μm) is produced after scrubbing and wet screening of a low-grade iron ore. Tailing beneficiation of iron ore has been addressed either by flotation or wet high intensity high gradient separation. The present study aims to recover iron values from discarded slime containing assay ~56% Fe, ~6.5% SiO 2, and ~7.0% Al 2 O 3



This work describes the concentration of iron ore slimes on a pilot scale by using a 500-mm diameter flotation column and a novel collector, which renders the use of a depressant unnecessary. The pilot column was operated in series with the industrial plant Vargem Grande 2 (Iron Quadrangle, Brazil) receiving, as feed, part of the underflow from the desliming thickener. …



In iron ore beneficiation plants, the spiral concentration technique is being used to obtain a fine concentrate. In spiral separators, the separation of heavy and light minerals takes place in streaming currents. ... Recently, Singh et al. used this technology for Barsua iron ore slime assaying 56% Fe and obtained an iron concentrate of 62.6% ...

A Comparative Study on Processing of High Alumina Hematite Iron Ore by Gravity, Magnetic and Flotation Methods. Journal of Materials Science and Engineering 3, 349-354; Roy, S., Das, A., Mohanty, M. K. 2007. Feasibility of producing pellet grade concentrate by beneficiation of iron ore slime. Separation Science and Technology 42, 3271-3287.







ABSTRACT A typical high-alumina containing iron ore slime from the eastern Indian sector containing 58.13% Fe, 6.48% SiO2, 4.9% Al2O3, and 5.35% LOI, have been evaluated to find out whether grinding of the slimes will be beneficial or not for upgrading the slime to generate pellet-grade concentrate with >64% Fe. Liberation studies indicated that there is …









The beneficiation of iron ore slime in the Brazilian scenario is a challenging task as it contains a significant amount of silicates, goethite and clay minerals (kaolinite and gibbsite) (Lima and Abreu, 2019). The iron ore slime could be a material generated during the desliming stage (overflow) containing particle sizes of approximately 99% ...



The study here highlights the optimization of beneficiation circuit for high-grade iron ore to attain higher productivity of both Pellet Plant and Blast Furnace with the least amount of rejections. ... Nayak B, Konar J (2017) Beneficiation of high-alumina bearing iron-ore slime: A case study from eastern India. Mineral Process Extract Metall ...









The iron ore slime sample used in this study was procured from a beneficiation plant of a working mine in central India.. The chemical composition shown in Table 1 demonstrates that the sample is rich in iron values along with silica and alumina. The XRD spectrum of slimes shown in Fig. 1a reveals hematite as the major phase along with some …



A similar type of characterization also reveals the presence of quartz and kaolinite as major gangue phases of iron ore slime . 3.5. SEM and EDX of the Dispersed Phase. The iron ore beneficiation waste of slime (DPAD200) was also characterised by SEM with EDX spectra and is shown in Figure 13. Further, we noted that the morphology of other ...



Size wise chemical analysis of iron ore slime from Joda, India is presented in Table 1. From the Table 1, D50 of the slime is around 25-20 microns, which is very fine. Around 50% of the slimes are present in <25 Micron fractions having 58.28 % Fe and 4.76% SiO 2 and 3.43% Al2O3. Table 1: Size wise chemical analysis of Joda iron ore slimes



In India there are many iron ore mines which continue to generate huge amount of slimes . The iron ore slimes contain high level of undesirable minerals which are dumped in storage ponds, called slime ponds. It is estimated that a typical iron ore slime contains 54 % iron and some other gangue minerals such as SiO 2, Al 2 O 3, P 2 O 5, TiO 2, MgO







The iron ore slime sample under study from Barsua mines of India contains 56% Fe, 4.8% SiO 2, 7.2% Al 2 O 3 and 7.0% LOI. Initially, the effect of magnetic intensity on different particle sizes without any addition of coating material was investigated. ... Studies on the beneficiation of Indian iron ore slimes using the flotation technique ...









The proportion of iron ore slime to ROM will increase in the future, with a higher proportion of lean-grade ores in ROM. Furthermore, tonnages of iron ore slime will increase with increasing demand of iron concentrate. Presently, this slime is stored in a dam in the absence of beneficiation technology. A beneficiation flowsheet was developed at ...



The iron ore slime is discarded due to its particle size and chemical composition which are not suitable as feed to the blast furnace. Although the fines/slimes can be agglomerated to larger particle, the alumina to silica ratio which is normally more than one poses serious problem during sintering process and subsequent smelting in blast ...



The present research work has been conducted to remove gangue contents from rejects slime of iron ore, having particle size < 20 µm by circulating leaching with aqueous hydrofluoric acid (HF) followed by nitric acid (HNO3) washing. Effects of acid concentration, slurry ratio, reaction time, stirring speed and temperature on gangue removal have been examined. The gangue …







Managing Iron Ore Fines and Slimes Beneficiation has a major role to play in utilisation of low grade ore and fines in iron making. It will help in conservation of mineral wealth and mitigation of adverse impact ... slime beneficiation circuit will consist of hydro-cyclones, magnetic separators, ball mills and concentrate thickeners.
