Influence of Grinding and Classification Circuit on the Performance of Iron Ore Beneficiation - A Plant Scale Study
Exploring iron ore fines beneficiation in a South African Context. Globally the major iron ore producers are Vale, Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton and Fortescue Metals. The prevailing low commodity prices ensure that only the largest and lowest cost producers survive and thus mines in China, Canada and South Africa are buckling under the pressure.
Current-day iron ore beneficiation flow sheets often include the use of spiral concentrators and jigging circuits in tandem to effect good recovery and material upgrade.
At Arrium's Iron Duke Ore Beneficiation Plant, in South Australia, ultrafine hematite used to be upgraded through a three-stage spiral circuit. From a feed grade of around 51% Fe, using HC33 triple-start spirals, a final concentrate of around 60% Fe was produced at a higher mass recovery than observed using a single-stage spiraling system ...
Iron ore beneficiation is generally done through a wet processing route. The areas of water scarcity and owning to issues like slurry generation make wet processing route application a tougher one. At different stages of wet beneficiation, nearly 1 m3 of water is...
The relevance of this study is determined by the fact that dry beneficiation waste contains recoverable iron-bearing magnetite of commercial value.

Dry electrostatic processing of iron ore presents an opportunity to reduce costs and wet tailings generation associated with traditional gravimetric, flotation and wet magnetic separation circuits.
The first step of physical beneficiation is crushing and grinding the iron ore to its liberation size, the maximum size where individual particles of gangue are separated from the iron minerals. A flow sheet of a typical iron ore crushing and grinding circuit is shown in Figure 1.2.2 (based on Ref. [ 4 ]). This type of flow sheet is usually followed when the …

Iron ore beneficiation is the process of improving the quality of iron ore by removing impurities and increasing its iron content. It is necessary to reduce alumina and silica in the feed. The process improves the chemical, physical, and metallurgical characteristics of the ore to make it a more desirable feed for iron-making furnaces.
Recently, the grade of iron ore deposits has deteriorated and further development of low grade deposits is desired. Presently, the most effective and often followed route taken to utilize such deposits is the provision of beneficiation plants for upgrading iron ore and pelletizing plants for agglomerating.
