Iron ore tailings (IOT) are materials that may contain clay minerals. Iron is the fourth most abundant element in the Earth's crust and is the primary raw material of steel, which is the most consumed metal alloy in the world (Shettima et al., 2016).The high demand for iron resulted in the mining of ores with lower iron contents, which led to increasing the waste …
