Time samples of concentrate and tails were collected, weighed, dried analysed. Regression equations were developed for Concentrate yield, grade and …

 — Iron ore is essential in steel making; however, high-grade ores have diminished, making low-grade ores inevitable. These low-grade iron ores need further beneficiation to upgrade the iron content.

site for years. These dumps are generally low grade in nature and do not meet the quality norms for iron and steel making [2, 3]. Upgrading low-grade iron ores is becoming an attractive proposition today. The most commonly used beneficiation methods for iron ores are the gravity and magnetic separation techniques [4−6].

 — Due to this reason the availability of high grade iron ore is reducing and the supply of high grade iron ore to iron and steel plants is declining sharply. Hence, the scenario is steadily shifting towards the use of low grade iron ores and slimes which are stock piled in the mine's sites for years.

 — It will produce a concentrate with 67 per cent iron and low impurities, and when ramped up to full capacity it will provide about 10 per cent of Fortescue's exports.

In this study, a combination of alkali roasting and hydrothermal treatment is used as a method of gangue (Si, Al, and P) removal from iron ores as a means to upgrade low-grade iron ore (limonite) into a high-grade iron …

 — Bio-hydrometallurgy is a promising eco-friendly gold recovery strategy. It can be employed for use on low-grade ores and various secondary sources of precious metals, such as e-wastes (Faramarzi et al., 2020; Suzuki, 2001). The impact and efficacy of bio-oxidation on sulfidic refractory ores has been studied extensively.

 — However, iron ore resources are being rapidly consumed, and high-TFe-grade iron ores are gradually decreasing [2,6]. For this reason, consideration has been given to the development and ...

 — High grade iron ores (iron content greater than 62 %) are simply crushed, screened and shipped directly to the iron making unit (e.g. blast furnace). Low grade iron ores containing lower iron content need beneficiation activities other than crushing, screening and washing for increasing their iron content. To be competitive, iron ore …
