ore of steel grey in colour. Flaky ore (lean in iron content and rich in alumina) which is laminated type with alternate bands of iron ore as well as gangue and is friable. Flaky ore and blue dust (generally contains high iron and less alumina) are inherently soft and contain very high percentage of natural fines.
Iron ore pellets are largely characterized by inherent physical and chemical properties of the ore. Alumina and silica play important roles in determining the productivity of a Blast Furnace. On average, one percent increase in iron content improves productivity by 2% and reduces coke consumption by 1%. Therefore higher iron ore feed content to blast furnace is …

Iron ore resource has its own typical mineral characteristics which require definite beneficiation process to produce quality raw material. India is endowed with large reserves of high grade hematite ore. However, steady consumption of these iron ores is now a concern forcing to develop beneficiation strategies to utilize low grade iron ores.
India has got the sixth largest reserves of iron ores which is the basic raw material for iron and steel making. Inspite of being rich in iron, Indian iron ores contain high alumina as impurities. High alumina content of iron ore is not favourable for efficient operation of blast furnaces.
Barsua iron ore mine in India has adopted Remco Jigs for beneficiation of low-grade iron ore fines. Bateman's Apic jig is being used in iron ore mines of South Africa and has demonstrated how the technology is suitable for the separation of fine ferrous ores. A Batac jig is installed to reduce alumina content of iron ore fines from Noamundi
The iron ore sample was obtained from Barsua iron ore mine, Steel Authority of India Limited, Odisha, India. These were high alumina containing iron ore lumps which were crushed and ground to -37 µm size (- 400 mesh) in order to represent Indian iron ore slimes.
use in COREX iron making units. Apart from this, high alumina in the pellets increases the slag volume in Corex, which demands additional heat energy, resulting in increased fuel rate. Hence, it was decided to set up a beneficiation plant to reduce the alumina content of the ore fines. Iron ore fines from several sources available in the ...
two disadvantages. One is high alumina content in the iron ore and second is softness of the ore which generates huge quantity of fines and slimes during mining and beneficiation. JSW Steel limited operates 3.0 mtpa and 13.0 Mtpa beneficiation plant1 and beneficiation plant 2 to beneficiate medium grade and low grade iron ore fines in the range ...
Beneficiation of alumina rich iron ore slimes is a major challenge for the Indian iron ore industry. Considering the limits of gravity and magnetic separation processes in the relatively finer size range in terms of achieving adequate separation efficiency, selective flotation (with and without selective flocculation) of iron ore slimes, which is being used commercially in several …
Iron ore tailing/slime (-150 μm) is produced after scrubbing and wet screening of a low-grade iron ore. Tailing beneficiation of iron ore has been addressed either by flotation or wet high intensity high gradient separation. The present study aims to recover iron values from discarded slime containing assay ~56% Fe, ~6.5% SiO 2, and ~7.0% Al 2 O 3
Iron ore is the basic raw material for iron and steel making. India is among the leading producers of iron ore in the world and produces about 150 million tons per annum (U. S. []).The total reserves of iron ore in India is around 28.5 billion tons, of this hematite ore is considered to be the most important iron ore because of its high grade quality and lumpy nature.
Beneficiation of Iron Ore and the treatment of magnetic iron taconites, stage grinding and wet magnetic separation is standard practice.This also applies to iron ores of the non-magnetic type which after a reducing roast are amenable …
Major problem faced with the Indian iron ore is that though they are very rich in iron content they also have a high content of gangue material like silica and aluminium which obstruct the iron and steel production as the performance of the blast furnace lowers. Iron ore sample found is a part of banded iron ore formation.
NEED FOR BENEFICIATION High grade iron ore less than 10% of the total reserves. ROM iron ore with Fe less than 58 – 60% discarded as waste. After beneficiation iron ore availability can improve by about 50%. Steel community and the country demand technological solutions for utilising low grade ores. The technology task that would be ...
Wide reserves of iron ore is found in India. Due to the high quality of iron ore available in India, large deposits of Banded Haematite Jasper (BHJ) are left unused because of the presence of silica in unwanted quantity. ROM is put through washing to remove the clayey matter due to the presence of alumina and silica in iron ore leading to slime generation which are disposed of in …
Keywords: Barsua, Iron Ore, Alumina, Washing, Gravity separation, Magnetic separation, Hydrocyclone Introduction In iron making, the adverse effect of alumina on reducibility, coke rate, productivity and blast furnace operation is well established and with the characteristic high alumina present in Indian 361
Need for iron ore Beneficiation: Indian hematite ores are typically rich in iron but contain unusually high alumina (as high as seven percent. The current practice of iron ore washing in India results in three products, namely coarse ore lumps directly charged to blast furnace, the classifier fines (3-5% alumina)
High alumina & silica content of Indian Iron ore resources require suitable beneficiation techniques to produce quality raw material for steel manufacturing. Banded Hematite Jasper (BHJ) reserves are abundantly available in India but not considered as an ore of Iron for production purposes due to its high Silica content and complex mineralogy.
