The impact behavior between the charge and lifter has significant effect to address the mill processing, and is affected by various factors including mill speed, mill filling, lifter height and media shape. To investigate the multi-body impact load behavior, a series of experiments and Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations were performed on a laboratory-scale mill, in order to improve the g...

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the betaproteobacterium Ideonella sp. strain A_228. This isolate, obtained from a bog iron ore-containing floodplain area in Germany, provides valuable information about the genetic diversity of neutrophilic iron-depositing bacteria. The Illumina NextSeq technique was used to sequence the draft genome sequence of the strain.

The need to develop green steelmaking techniques has led the replacement of reducing agents such as CO with H2. H2 and N2/H2 mixtures can be used for carbothermal reduction iron ore. In this study, we investigated swelling index ore pellets in a forming gas (N2/H2) atmosphere at temperatures 700–1000 °C compared it that pure experimental results showed increases increasing temperature both atmo...

The study investigated whether occupational accident risks were equally distributed across age categories over time in the context of production reorganization and work rationalization in a Swedish iron ore mine between 1980 and 1993. Three phases of reorganization, defined by productivity levels, and four age categories were related to age-related accident risk ratios using the Poisson-regress...

Liuhe gold orefield is being newly explored in the southeast part of Jiapigou ore belt, and occurs Neoarchean basement composed trondhjemite–tonalite–granodiorite (TTG). Zircon U–Pb data suggest that ore-hosting magma emplacement mainly took place two epochs: late to early Paleoproterozoic (ca. 2500 Ma) Jurassic Mesozoic era 170 Ma). The TTG rocks show higher A12O3 (12.58 15.71%) Na2O/K2O ratio...

This paper essentially deals with the effects of equatorial ionization anomaly gradient on space-based navigation systems like GPS. The equatorial region of the ionosphere, which extends about ±30dip about the magnetic equator, is characterized by a steep latitudinal gradient, not only in the maximum ionization but also in the total electron content (TEC), through a major part of the day. This ...

Mathematical model for a pilot scale iron ore pellet induration furnace has been developed which considers the process of induration including the reactions of limestone, magnetite and coke. The differential equations of energy, mass and momentum are solved simultaneously. The profiles of temperature, pressure and concentration are obtained. Performing separate experiments on sub processes; dry...
