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...

A geometallurgical model was developed in three steps using the Malmberget iron ore deposit, northern Sweden as a case study. It is based on a mineralogical-particle approach which means that the mineral information is in the focus. Firstly, the geological model describes quantitatively the variation within the ore body in modal composition and mineral textures. Traditional geological textural ...

A traceability system simplifies investigation of causes of product failures and is therefore vital for many industries. Traceability systems are extensively used in manufacturing industries, but creating traceability in continuous processes implies great challenges. The aim of this paper is to illustrate how traceability can be achieved in the distribution chain for iron ore pellets. Radio fre...

application of hyperactivation process in palletizing iron ore, in order to decrease bentoniteconsumption has been investigated. different amounts of bentonite and sodium hydroxide, as activating agents,were added to iron ore and the quality of formed pellets were determined. the results show that addition of 0.01pct. naoh improves the pellet quality significantly while the bentonite content re...

In view of the problems high acid consumption, blockage ore-bearing beds caused by iron ion precipitation and a low leaching rate in conventional sandstone-type uranium deposit, author put forward “low-acid oxygen technology” research. order to further clarify mechanism ore with oxygen, oxidation ferrous under acidic conditions, influencing factors process, kinetic simulation oxidizing minerals...

Stockpiling and blending play a major role in maintaining the quantity and quality of the raw materials fed into processing plants, especially the cement, iron ore and steel making, and coal-fired power generation industries that usually require a much uniformed feed. Due to the variable nature of such materials, they even come from the same source and the produced ores or concentrates are seld...
