Traceability in iron ore processing and transports

Please cite this article in press as: Bergquist, B. The ability to track and trace products in a production process and in the transportation chain from supplier to customers is important for quality control and process improvements. However, good traceability is often difficult achieve for continuous process products as well as for batch produced products where batches intermix. In this paper,...

Characterization of Sangan low-grade iron ore and its processing by dry low-intensity magnetic separation

In Sangan iron mine nearly two million tons of low-grade iron ore has been extracted and deposited in the mining site and currently no action is made on them. On the other hand, the mining site is located in the semi-arid region and wet processing has been restricted due to water shortage. In this research, the upgradation of Sangan low-grade iron ore from mine B has been performed by dry low-i...

Carbon Monoxide Reduction of Iron Ore

C ERTAIN attention is paid today to the weaknesses of the classical blast furnace process, and interest is continuously increasing in methods for direct reduction without melting. Several different methods have been developed or suggested in the past, but so far only a few have been adopted for practical use. Another tendency in the iron industry of today is the change-over to concentrates, wit...

Scheduling in iron ore open-pit mining

During the last few years, most production-based businesses have been under enormous pressure to improve their top-line growth and bottom-line savings. As a result, many companies are turning to systems and technologies that can help optimise their supply chain activities. In this paper, we discuss a real-world application of scheduling in the mining industry. This is a highly constrained probl...
