Recent Development of Iron Ore Concentration

environmental effects of gol-e-gohar iron ore mine on groundwater of the area

gol-e-gohar iron ore mine of sirjan in southern part of iran is a large open pit that operates below the groundwater table and during mining operation, dewatering is required to prevent operation processes from flooding. current operation is going on by digging wells in or out of the pit and pumping to prevent flooding. as a result of the former dewatering operation a vast deep cone of depressi...

Carbon Monoxide Reduction of Iron Ore

C ERTAIN attention is paid today to the weaknesses of the classical blast furnace process, and interest is continuously increasing in methods for direct reduction without melting. Several different methods have been developed or suggested in the past, but so far only a few have been adopted for practical use. Another tendency in the iron industry of today is the change-over to concentrates, wit...

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...

Recent Advances in BIF-related Iron Ore Models and Exploration Strategies

Recent research on BIF-related high-grade iron ore mineralization has resulted in new genetic models that emphasize the structurally controlled hypogene alteration and upgrade of BIF to high-grade (>65% Fe) iron ore. Conventional structural and stratigraphic mapping and reconstructions of the tectonic history of iron districts, in combination with high-tech geochemical analyses such as laser IC...
