A Review on Removal of Iron Impurities from Quartz Mineral

Iron is one of the most stubborn impurities in quartz minerals, and iron content partly determines various applications quartz. can exist forms fluid inclusions, lattice impurities. The removal consequent purification minerals are key processes to obtaining high-quality methods including conventional pre-treatment, magnetic separation, acid leaching, microbiological, roasting, flotation, as well combined ore, herein summarized. separation mechanism latest research progress were explained summarized, development prospects future proposed based on current limitations removal.
