Characterization studies on Agbaja iron ore: a high-phosphorus content ore

Reduction of Sulphur Content of AGBAJA Iron Ore using Hydrochloric Acid (HCL)

Iron ores are used in blast furnace for the production of pig iron; AGBAJA Iron ore has an estimated reserve of over I billion metric tonnes. Unfortunately, this large reserve cannot be utilized for the production of pig iron due to its high sulphur contents. This work studied the reduction of sulphur content of AGBAJA iron ore. Acid leaching methods were used to reduce sulphur contents of the ...

High-rate behaviour of iron ore pellet

Iron ore pellets are sintered, centimetre-sized spheres of ore with high iron content. Together with carbonized coal, iron ore pellets are used in the production of steel. In the transportation from the pelletizing plants to the customers, the iron ore pellets are exposed to different loading situations, resulting in degradation of strength and in some cases fragmentation. For future reliable n...

Multimodal Microscopy for Ore Characterization

Modern microscopes of all kinds (optical, electron, scanning probe) are controlled by software and have digital image acquisition. This setup allows many integrated tasks to be run under the control of automation routines like, for instance, specimen scanning and automatic focusing. Additionally, some microscopes can be fully automated. Thus, it is possible to integrate specimen scanning, image...

A Rapid Method for Determination of Silica in Iron Ore and a Spectrophotometric Method for Phosphorus

DETERMINATION OF SILICA OXIDE iron ores usually are found in intimate association with sllica and phosphorus compounds. heir quantitative separation and purification sometimes present difficult problems to the chemist. Silicic acids may represent various degrees of dehydration. They are exceedingly weak, but combine with metallic oxides and form some of the most stable , oxides in nature, the s...
