The roasted ore was leached with NaOH solution to remove Si-Al gangue minerals, following a procedure that entailed …

Wet magnetic separation is the main beneficiation process at iron ore enterprises in Russia and abroad. Conventional magnetite ore processing flowcharts exclude tailings from the process after each grinding and magnetic separation to obtain a finished concentrate in the last beneficiation stage. The weight share of total iron in …

This study proposed a new treatment called flash reduction–melting separation (FRMS) for boron-bearing iron concentrates. In this method, the concentrates were first flash-reduced at the temperature under which the particles melt, and the slag and the reduced iron phases disengaged at the particle scale. Good reduction and melting …

In recent decades, it has become one of the key separation technologies in the utilization of the ores that contain magnetic minerals, such as iron oxides, ilmenite, wolframite, and manganese, and in the removal of magnetic impurities form non-metallic ores such as kaolin, quartz, and feldspar. In addition, the development of high magnetic ...

Magnetic separation is widely used. All materials with magnetism in the magnetic field can be treated by magnetic separation, which is the main method to treat iron ore. All lean magnetite ores need to remove gangue minerals such as quartz through weakly magnetic field magnetic separators to improve the iron grade of concentrate. …

The raw ore had a saturation magnetization of 7.25 A·m 2 ·kg −1, indicating that magnetic separation of the iron phase from other minerals in the raw ore was not an effective method.

However, problems arise when a part of non-magnetic, hexagonal pyrrhotite is present in ore samples or when dealing with pyrrhotite entrainments within magnetic ores, such as magnetite and iron-bearing sphalerite [14]. Therefore, flotation is commonly used instead of magnetic separation to achieve the separation of pyrrhotite [15].

Abstract. This chapter introduces the principle of how low-grade iron ores are upgraded to high-quality iron ore concentrates by magnetic separation.
