Alumina-rich iron ore is a widely existed polymetallic deposit in the nature, and it has a high comprehensive utilization value. Because the alumina and iron contents of alumina-rich iron ore vary from each other, there are many different measures and processes to recover iron and alumina from the various kinds of alumina-rich iron ore. In the blast furnace (BF) ironmaking process, the alumina ...

The Iron Mountain Mine Superfund Site near Redding, California, is a massive sulfide ore deposit that was mined for iron, silver, gold, copper, zinc, and pyrite intermittently for nearly 100 years. As a result, both water and air reached the sulfide deposits deep within the mountain, producing acid mine drainage consisting of sulfuric acid and heavy metals from the ore. Particularly, the draina...

the determination of the ultimate pit limit (upl) is the first step in the open pit mine planning process. in this stage that parts of the mineral deposit that are economic to mine are determined. there are several mathematical, heuristic and meta-heuristic algorithms to determine upl. the optimization criterion in these algorithms is maximization of the total profit whilst satisfying the...

Iron ore deposit Bijar area is located in east north in Kordestan province based of field observation, ore minerals are magnetite, magnetite-martitite and magnetite-pyrite. No. 922 points on the 16 profiles were collected over about 7500 meters in the area. Magnetometers treatment of advanced devices and new GSM-19T is made in Canada. The data were corrected and the magnetic field intensity map...
