This study investigates upgrading of low-grade banded hematite quartzite iron ore (Fe ~31%). Conventional beneficiation was found to be futile. The susceptibility of iron phases to microwave exposure and their selective absorption assists in the liberation of iron values. Microwave exposure of coarse particles at 540 W for 10 min yielded a concentrate with Fe …
Deep dephosphorization of high‑phosphorus oolitic iron ore (HPOIO) is extremely difficult because of its refractory characteristics. A new approach for simultaneous iron recovery and dephosphorization from HPOIO by oxidation roasting–gas-based reduction (ORGR) and magnetic separation process was developed.The underlying mechanism was investigated …

Brazil is the third largest producer of iron ore concentrates, yielding in 2017 around 453 million with 63.7% average iron grade (ANM, 2018) from which 60% are estimated to be produced by the froth flotation technology.According to Lima et al. (2005), the most common route used by far for flotation of Brazilian itabirite ores was cationic reverse flotation, where quartz is …
Ore mineral is distributed throughout the sample gangue lumps various sizes are unevenly distributed in the ore. Mineralogy : Hematite (45%) is the abundant mineral. Martite and goethite occupied about 10% in the ore mineral. Ore mineral and gangue ratio is at 55:45 Inference : Iron ore/ hematite iron ore Fig 1.
2.1. Materials. A sample of low-grade hematite iron ore was obtained from the Dalli mines in Chhattisgarh, India. The collected sample was characterized by density determination, analysis of particle sizes, and wet chemical analysis performed to determine the metal content on a size-by-size basis, microscopic studies, XRD, FESEM, etc. Low ash content bituminous coal …
The current study undertakes experiments on the iron ore melting reduction process scrutinising the impact of C/O, alkalinity, temperature and holding time on the pig iron yield and the iron recovery rate. ... the iron recovery rate achieved an impressive 98.6294%. The iron recovery had a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.988, and analysis of ...
Microwave-assisted magnetizing roasts were used to produce an iron ore product from low-grade, goethite-dominant, iron ore plant rejects. Goethite was found to be converted to hematite at temperatures above 370 °C on reduction in a microwave furnace under gas mixtures of 30:70 and 40:60 CO/CO 2. Reduction to magnetite occurred at higher ...
The process presented an overall iron recovery around 84%. The resulting material could be used as a commercial pigment or be incorporated into steel-making iron pellets. ...

Moreover, the reduction of hematite to magnetite towards enhancement of magnetic separation has also been studied in pyrite cinder through suspension magnetization roasting (Li et al., 2024), and also to iron tailings by magnetization roasting by bastnaesite (Li et al., 2022), leading to improved Fe separation efficiency during magnetic separation.
Iron ore tailings (IOTs) are a form of solid waste produced during the beneficiation process of iron ore concentrate. In this paper, iron recovery from IOTs was studied at different points during a process involving pre-concentration followed by direct reduction and magnetic separation. Then, slag-tailing concrete composite admixtures were prepared from high-silica …
Recovery of iron values from the Barsua iron ore slimes containing 56% Fe, 4.8% SiO 2, 7.2% Al 2 O 3 and 7.0% LOI by the addition of synthetic colloidal magnetite and oleate colloidal coating followed by high gradient magnetic separation technique was investigated. The effects of concentration of colloidal magnetite, pH, and magnetic field strength were studied.
The TFe grade of the raw ore was only 33.16 wt%, which was a low-grade iron ore. The main iron minerals were hematite (α-Fe 2 O 3) and siderite (FeCO 3). The main gangue mineral was quartz (SiO 2). Ca and Mg impurities mainly existed in ankerite (Ca(Fe,Mg,Mn)(CO 3) 2), and Al mainly existed in silicate gangue (Zhu et al., 2022b).
A pilot study on recovery of iron from sulfur-bearing hematite ore using hydrogen-based mineral phase transformation followed by magnetic separation. ... the hematite within iron ore powder was almost entirely transformed into magnetite at a reduction temperature of 520 °C using a gas combination of 45 % H 2 - 15 % CO- 40 % N 2, ...
Description and properties of common iron ore minerals. Iron ore minerals are rocks or minerals that contain iron in concentrations high enough to be economically extracted. Common iron ore minerals include: Hematite (Fe2O3): Hematite is the most abundant and important iron ore mineral. It is typically steel-gray to black in color and has a metallic luster.
Precise phase control enhances mineral magnetism, thereby promoting iron ore recovery. ... Mechanism of improved magnetizing roasting of siderite–hematite iron ore using a synergistic CO–H 2 mixture.
