Unlike high-grade iron ore which can be reduction process, three types of phase changes occur which directly used in steel-making process, the low-grade BHQ includes: (a) the reduction of hematite to magnetite in the iron ore requires comminution for the liberation of desired temperature range of 200–250 °C; (b) followed by reduction mineral ...
To identify and establish beneficiation techniques for banded hematite quartzite (BHQ) iron ore, a comprehensive research on BHQ ore treatment was carried out. The BHQ ore was assayed as 38.9wt% Fe, 42.5wt% SiO2, and 1.0wt% Al2O3. In this ore, hematite and quartz are present as the major mineral phases where goethite, …
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 …
The investigations carried out on the low grade iron ore sample reveal the following conclusions. (1) The sample on average contains 43.8% Fe, 16.8% SiO 2 and 5.61% Al 2 O 3. (2) The mineralogical studies indicate that the major iron minerals are magnetite, hematite and goethite. And the gangue minerals are silicates and calcites.
In China, most reserves of rich iron ores have now been depleted and sustainable development of low-grade iron ores has become a critical discussion topic in the mining industry today. The aim of this study was to evaluate the applicability of beneficiating a low-grade, hematite-magnetite ore (assaying 18.64% Fe) for …
