Introduction Iron ore is one of the most important natural raw materials that is widely used for manufacturing iron and steel. This type of ore contains various amounts of radionuclides; thus, exposing workers handling their extraction, transportation, and processing to radiation. Materials and Methods In this study, 12 ore samples (each mass weighing about 2 kg) were collected from the iron or...

Binders are of prime importance in the agglomeration of iron ore concentrates. In this research, strength and density of briquette produced from the magnetite concentrate of Gol-E-Gohar were investigated using different binders at various applied pressures. The results showed that peridor was the most effective binder relative to bentonite and lime. For all types of binders, the increase in bin...

KiG No. 26, Vol. 1 5, 201 6 88 melted in Rude, in a blast furnace with an annual capacity of 25,000 cents, one part ofwhich was transported to Slovenia. Annual production of iron ore was between 20,000 and 130,000 cents, while annual production ofiron was between 5,000 and 16,000 cents. The mine was closed in 1859 due to unprofitability. Twenty-six thousand tons ofore were extracted during the ...

In this paper, iron ore sample from the Chadormalu was investigated to determine some comminution properties. Chadormalu deposit is one of the largest iron ore mine in Iran, which is located in Yazd province. The representative ore sample contained 57%Fe, 0.9%P and 0.17%S. The sample was crushed; afterward, it was ground in various grinding times according to the Bond Ball mill approach to spec...

The extraction of ore and minerals by underground mining may induce ground subsidence phenomena. These phenomena produce several types of ground movement like horizontal and vertical displacements, ground curvature and horizontal ground strain at the surface, and associated building damage in urban regions. The influence function is a well-known and efficient method for the prediction of these ...
