Almost of mined iron ore is used in steel production, making it essential for everything from staples to buildings. Beneficiation is the term for reducing the size of valuable iron ore particles and separating them from the gange (unusable minerals), which are then discarded. There are several different methods of wet and dry separation.
The beneficiation process can be classified into two categories, namely Mechanical Separation & Float Flotation by using surface-active agent or flocculating agent (Figure 1). Table 1: Beneficiation Methods apply for low grade iron ores & the percentage of Treated ore by each method, (Ryan 1990).

Conventional methods of beneficiation such as gravity concentration, magnetic separation, and flotation cannot effectively increase the Cr/Fe ratio in chromite ore unless the Fe occurs in the gangue materials (Murthy et al., 2011, Nafziger, 1982) since the Fe content mainly depends on the spinel composition.
1. Introduction. The processing and utilization of iron ores are intimately linked to their mineralogical characteristics, liberation pattern, and the nature of inclusion of the impurities such as SiO 2, Al 2 O 3, P and S.The goethitic, oolitic and wad type ores containing high silica and alumina are very difficult to process by conventional …
Rough processing of iron ore employs dry methods which means that equipment is tuned to process large particles, but fine magnetic material less than a few tenths of a millimeter in size is not separated as efficiently. The relevance of this study is determined by the fact that dry beneficiation waste contains recoverable iron-bearing …
The iron-making process requires high-quality raw materials, with Fe ≥ 64% and <2% alumina and silica each, to enhance blast furnace productivity at a given energy consumption rate. There is a ...
The beneficiation studies of Suresh et al. (1981), concludes that low grade chromite ore of 16–25% Cr 2 O 3, of Sitampundi area of India, cannot be upgraded by using tabling and flotation techniques, to meet the metallurgical grade due to the intimate association of iron in the lattice of chromite.
The document discusses current practices in iron ore beneficiation in India. It outlines the major iron ore deposits in India, the production levels, and common beneficiation techniques used like magnetic separation, flotation, gravity separation. The key beneficiation plants in India are described along with the typical process flow sheets.
Conventional methods of separation i.e. gravity separation, magnetic separation, flotation has been attempted for beneficiation of iron ore tailings [3,4,5,6]. The slimes and tailings contain huge ultra-fines because of which the conventional methods may not be effective for handling, because of the particle size limitations [ 7 ].

Recently, beneficiation of iron from low-grade ores with high impurities has been a matter of discussion. Flotation is one of the most effective technologies for the upgrading of low-grade, finely grained iron ores. ... This paper attempts to provide an explanation for the current state and use of iron ore flotation methods, as well as to ...
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 many instances, China's iron ore beneficiation plants are designed to recover more than just the iron minerals from the ore. For example, the processing plants for the V–Ti magnetite ores separate the primary process stream into separate streams for subsequent extraction of iron and vanadium/titanium. ... A range of beneficiation …
resources, we are heading toward the beneficiation of secondary iron ore resources to get the desired quality. These resources mainly include low grade iron ores fines(−6 mm) and slimes (−150 μm). Indian iron ore typically comprises of good grade of iron along with relatively high amount of SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 as the major tailor materials.
The major concentration methods that may be applied to upgrade lower-grade lump iron ores include magnetic separation, wet and dry heavy media separation, and air-pulsed jigging.

The potential iron loss in ore beneficiation of three hypothetical ores with a rich fraction consisting of haematite containing 1% Si and 67% Fe and having a fraction consisting of 70% SiO 2 and 10%, 15% and 20% Fe. In this calculation, the poor fraction is discarded and the iron loss is presented per ton of DR-pellet feed.
By enhancing the quality of lower-grade raw materials through beneficiation, downstream processes also become more viable. Various production routes are available to transform iron ore into liquid steel, as shown in Figure 1. The selected route depends to a large extent on the quality of the iron ore, energy source and related costs.
