Phosphorous is an undesired element present in iron ore used in the steel making process. It leads to an increase in overall production cost as well as deteriorated steel quality. The desired phosphorus content in iron ores used in steel making is < 0.1%. Numerous beneficiation studies are mentioned in the literature; however, there is no …

With the depleting reserves of high-grade iron ore in the world, froth flotation has become increasingly important to process intermediate- and low-grade iron ore in an attempt to meet the rapidly growing demand on the international market. In over half a century's practice in the iron ore industry, froth flotation has been established as an …

The reverse cationic flotation is also largely used to reduce the silica content in the iron concentrate obtained through magnetic separation. It is the most efficient upgrading process for simple systems composed of hematite/magnetite and quartz (Araujo et al., 2005, Filippov et al., 2014). ... Magnetic separation experiments of …

This study investigates the removal of silica, alumina and phosphorus as impurities from Sanje iron ore using wet high-intensity magnetic separation (WHIMS). Sanje iron ore contains low-grade hematite ore found in Nampundwe area of Zambia from which iron is to be used as the feed in the steelmaking process.

The experimental process was presented in Fig. 1 and comprised three stages, including magnetization roasting of iron tailings, alkaline leaching of roasted products, and magnetic separation of leaching residue. The roasted ore was leached with NaOH solution to remove Si-Al gangue minerals, following a procedure that entailed …

Electrostatic separation enables the separation of a wide range of minerals and this example, separating Pyrite from Silica Sand, provides a good example of the separation process. A feed of conducting (Pyrite FeS 2 ) and non-conducting (Silica Sand SiO 2 ) powders is fed via a vibratory feeder onto an earthed, stainless-steel roll …

Different separation technologies used to remove silica and alumina from low-grade iron ores were reviewed. The major concentration methods that may be applied to upgrade …
