Iron ore beneficiation: an overview ScienceDirect

Dry processing of iron ore: In dry processing of iron ore, ROM is generally crushed below 40 mm through threestage crushing and thus segregated by screening into 1040 and −10 mm fractions. For softer ore, tumbler index is generally low and hence lump ore is crushed below 10 mm to produce fine product. Yield from the plants has been ...

The processing of iron ore to recover the valuable iron oxide minerals is commonly carried out using spiral concentrators that separate valuable minerals from nonvaluable ones on the basis of the specific gravity of minerals. This paper shows that the analysis of the operation of spirals should not only focus on the minerals (as it is usually the case), but should also consider the particle ...
