This chapter introduces the principle of how low-grade iron ores are upgraded to high quality iron ore concentrates by magnetic separation. Magnetite is the most magnetic of all the naturally occurring minerals on earth and can be readily extracted by low-intensity magnetic separators from magnetite ores.
Froth flotation is the most important process to produce superconcentrates from low-grade oxidized iron ores.
Iron ore flotation is a key technique to concentrate intermediate-low-grade ore, in order to reach the market requirements for higher-grade concentrates of iron.
In cationic reverse flotation of iron ore at alkaline pH (9–10.5), the starch gelatinized with NaOH is used as an iron minerals depressant. Recent studies, made with alternative sources of starch such as sorghum and residues from the food industry (sugar cane bagasse and cassava wastewater) have shown promising and more economical …
Zinc extraction from oxide ore has been paid more and more attention to due to the exhaustion of zinc sulfide ore resources. In this work, the volatilization kinetics of Zn from the flotation products of low-grade lead–zinc oxide ore during carbothermal reduction in the temperature range of 900–1300 °C were investigated. The phase …
The use of direct flotation of iron oxides seems still attractive in the case of low grade ores, marginal. Depressants. Starches are the universal depressants of iron oxides in the flotation of iron ores. Starch may be extracted from several vegetable species such as corn, cassava, potato, wheat, rice, arrowroot, etc.).
The iron ore industries of India are expected to bring new technologies to cater to the need of the tremendous increase in demand for quality ores for steel making. With the high-grade ores depleting very fast, the focus is on the beneficiation of low-grade resources. However, most of these ores do not respond well to the conventional …
