in this study, the isothermal reduction of iron oxide pellets, made of iranian chadormalo, gole-gohar, and sangan iron ores, was investigated in the temperature range of 900-1100°c. tabas, pabdana, babnizoo, karmozd, and shahrood domestic coals were used as reductants. parametric studies were performed and the effects of such factors as temperature, average particle size of iron ore and coal fi...

one of the most important steps involved in mining operations is to select an appropriate extraction method for mine resources. after choosing the extraction method, it is usually impossible to replace it with another one because it may be so expensive that implementation of the entire project could be economically impossible. choosing a mining method depends on the geological and geometrical c...

Pelletizing plant of the Gol-E-Gohar mining and industrial company consists of a burner, a dry ball mill (6.2 m × 13 m), and an air separator. The ball mill consists of a 2 m-long drying and an 11 m-long grinding chambers. The iron ore concentrate is fed to the drying chamber by a feed chute. It was found that when the feed moisture content increased from 1.3% to 3.5%, the throughput decreased ...

Dust emitted from mining, ore processing, and tailing dumps have direct effects on miners who work close to these operations. The Gol-E-Gohar (GEG) mining industrial company is one of the most important iron concentrate producers in Middle East. objective present study was estimate distribution, fractionation, oral bioaccessibility potentially toxic elements (PTEs) dust generated by GEG company...

The block economic value (BEV) of a single-metal deposit is calculated based on the metal content and the related costs. The common methods available for calculating BEV are just based upon the profitable elements, and the effects of undesirable elements on BEV are not considered. However, in multi-element deposits, the effects of other elements existing in the blocks on BEV should be considere...

simulation optimization is a scientific tool that is widely used to design and optimize comminution circuits in mineral processing plants. In this research, first of all, in order to  determine the suitable d80 for cicuit hydrocyclone underflow, the requiremed parameters of simulator (residence time distribution, breakage function, selection function and Plitt’s model calibration) were determin...
