Keywords: impurities in iron ores, beneficiation, separation technology, flowsheet. ABSTRACT Silica and alumina are major impurities in iron ores, and as higher-grade ores become depleted, there will be a greater focus on developing suitable beneficiation strategies to treat low-grade ores containing higher levels of impurities.
Phosphorus is one of the most deleterious elements in iron ore as it follows iron during downstream reduction processes, forming iron phosphides that make steel brittle. Excess phosphorus increases the cost of steelmaking and the steel industry has placed an upper limit of 0.07-0.08 wt-% P on the iron ore feed. Goethite grains containing high levels of phosphorus …

Impurities: Iron ore may contain various impurities, such as silica, alumina, phosphorus, sulfur, and trace elements, which can affect the quality and suitability of the ore for iron and steel production. The presence of impurities …
These ores were fully oxidized, consisting of high-grade hematite containing negligible sulfur and phosphorus and very low levels of other impurities. As these ores became depleted, the iron ore industry had to change to accommodate lower grades and less pure feedstock, in the form of both fully oxidized ores (hematite) and partially oxidized ...
The presence of some specific impurities other than quartz in iron ore, such as alumina containing minerals, i.e. kaolinite and gibbsite, and phosphorous, is detrimental and attracts penalties. ...
