Over the years, mining for aluminum has left behind billions of tons of the caustic sludge called red mud. But today in Nature, scientists report that a simple chemical process can extract another useful metal, iron, from this waste and render the remainder into a mostly benign substance useful for making concrete. If the process can be scaled …

Iron-containing waste is constantly accumulating and increasing the use of low-grade ores only accelerates this process. Such deposits lead to a number of …

It can be found that the average size of RIM-A is considerably smaller than Iron ore-A to Iron ore-E. RIM-B characterized higher contents of particles <0.25 mm, which was close to Iron ore-E. Fig. 1 gives the morphological property of iron ores and RIM. It can be found that the particles in iron ore-A and Iron ore-E were irregular with coarse ...

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 …

The zero-waste technology is developed for recycle and utilization of iron and steel plant wastes.Iron ore fines and coal fines are also generated during mining and transportation.

The electrically charged hydrogen ions strip oxygen atoms away from the iron much faster than does hydrogen gas. Some steelmakers are planning to try this …

Increased mining activity of iron ore has led to the generation of voluminous wastes of various nature, especially during the different stages of its extraction and production. The improper disposal of such waste causes negative impact on the environment. One such waste which is generated during the beneficiation process of …

Researchers from IIT Madras and Kanpur have innovated a solution for repurposing waste produced during iron ore mining. The process focuses on "slime," waste particles smaller than 0.15 mm, often ...

Iron ore handling, which may account for 20–50% of the total delivered cost of raw materials, covers the processes of transportation, storage, feeding, and washing of the ore en route to or during its various stages of treatment in the mill.. Since the physical state of iron ores in situ may range from friable, or even sandy materials, to monolithic …
