different samples have been prepared from different products in chadormalu iron ore concentrator plant: low intensity magnetite separators concentrate (magnetite concentrate), reverse flotation tail (final hematite concentrate), flotation concentrate (apatite concentrate), final tail (l.i.m.s. tail + reverse flotation concentrate+ apatite flotation tail). the samples were used for rare earth el...

• First attempt using image-based methods for iron ore load estimation. The problem is modelled as a weakly supervised learning problem. A new two-stage modelling training neural networks are proposed. Empirical evidence of experiments shows good performance and economic boost. Iron feed-load control one the most critical settings in mineral grinding process. It has direct impact on quality fin...

The crude oil market is significantly larger than that for any other commodity, both in terms of physical production and financial market activity (Table 1). The value of crude oil production is more than twice that of coal and natural gas, 10 times that of iron ore and almost 20 times that of copper. Crude oil is the most widely used source of fuel, supplying around one-third of the world’s en...

The contamination of sulfur emanating from pyrrhotite in magnetite concentrates has been a problem in iron ore processing. This study utilized froth flotation to float pyrrhotite away from magnetite using collectors of xanthate and dixanthogen. It was found that xanthate or dixanthogen alone could not achieve selective separation between pyrrhotite and magnetite in flotation. A high loss of mag...

Epidemiological studies have shown an excessive incidence of lung cancer in miners with exposure to radon daughters. The various risk estimates have ranged from six to 47 excess cases per 10(6) person years and working level month, but the effect of smoking has not been fully evaluated. The present study, among a group of iron ore miners, is an attempt to obtain quantitative information about t...

   The Asinawa iron ore is located about 3km to the southeast of Penjween town, Sulaimaniya Governorate, Kurdistan Region, Northeastern Iraq near the Iraq-Iran border. The exposed iron ore deposit is about 60 and 400m wide and long respectively. The present study is the re-study of the geology and geochemistry of the Asnawan Iron ore deposit  and concluded that the country rocks are consist of ...

Iron- and steelmaking cause ?7% of the global CO2 emissions, due to use carbon for reduction iron ores. Replacing by hydrogen as reductant offers a pathway massively reduce these emissions. However, production using renewable energy will remain one bottlenecks at least during next two decades, because making gigantic annual crude steel 1.8 billion tons sustainable requires minimum stoichiometri...

Introduction The history of haematite iron ore mining in the Cumberland and Furness districts has been excellently described by Kendall (1893), and from a summary of this and works by Smith (1924), the following brief facts have been taken. The date of the first working of haematite in Cumberland and Furness is uncertain, but the exposed veins in the Lake District must have been known long befo...
