Upgrading nickel grade in low-grade nickeliferous laterite ores before metallurgical extraction process is of utmost importance. However, most of nickel exists mainly in the form of isomorphism in serpentine or goethite, resulting in difficulty in upgrading of nickel by physical separation methods. ... As observed in Fig. 4, hematite (Fe 2 O 3 ...
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.
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 subsequent utilization. In this study, process mineralogy and …
The unutilized iron ore fines (IOF, − 10 mm, 45% to < 60% Fe(T)) left at various mine sites during blasting and processing are rich in goethetic-hematite associated with high clay and considered a potential iron ore resource. The variation of loss on ignition (LOI) from mines to mines is based on the goethite and clay mineral content. The clay containing below 45 μm is …
