different samples have been prepared from different products in chadormalu iron ore concentrator plant: low intensity magnetite separators concentrate (magnetite concentrate), reverse flotation tail (final hematite concentrate), flotation concentrate (apatite concentrate), final tail (l.i.m.s. tail + reverse flotation concentrate+ apatite flotation tail). the samples were used for rare earth el...

The crude oil market is significantly larger than that for any other commodity, both in terms of physical production and financial market activity (Table 1). The value of crude oil production is more than twice that of coal and natural gas, 10 times that of iron ore and almost 20 times that of copper. Crude oil is the most widely used source of fuel, supplying around one-third of the world’s en...

The contamination of sulfur emanating from pyrrhotite in magnetite concentrates has been a problem in iron ore processing. This study utilized froth flotation to float pyrrhotite away from magnetite using collectors of xanthate and dixanthogen. It was found that xanthate or dixanthogen alone could not achieve selective separation between pyrrhotite and magnetite in flotation. A high loss of mag...

Epidemiological studies have shown an excessive incidence of lung cancer in miners with exposure to radon daughters. The various risk estimates have ranged from six to 47 excess cases per 10(6) person years and working level month, but the effect of smoking has not been fully evaluated. The present study, among a group of iron ore miners, is an attempt to obtain quantitative information about t...

   The Asinawa iron ore is located about 3km to the southeast of Penjween town, Sulaimaniya Governorate, Kurdistan Region, Northeastern Iraq near the Iraq-Iran border. The exposed iron ore deposit is about 60 and 400m wide and long respectively. The present study is the re-study of the geology and geochemistry of the Asnawan Iron ore deposit  and concluded that the country rocks are consist of ...

Abstract Can tax regimes shape the incentives to engage in armed conflict? Indian mining royalties benefit states but are set by central government. India's Maoist belt is mineral rich, and responsible for counterinsurgency operations. We exploit introduction of a 10% ad valorem on iron ore that increased royalty collections affected factor 10. find hike was followed significant intensification...

Cut-off grade is one of the very important technical and economic parameters, which affects the economic and social efficiency in a mine enterprise. It is also the basis of the deposits technical economy evaluation, feasibility study, mining planning and design and the foundation of the decision-making in mining investment. Thereby, cut-off grade optimization is one of the core contents and the...

This paper focuses on the sequencing and scheduling problem of open pit mining, with the allocation of loading equipment considering a medium-term horizon. This study considers the existence of a heterogeneous loading equipment fleet and two types of mineable material, namely ore or waste rock. For the mining of ore, the following requirements are taken under consideration: the mixture quality,...

Abstract The mining of stratified ore deposits requires detailed knowledge the location orebody boundaries. In Banded Iron Formation (BIF) hosted iron located in Pilbara region Western Australia natural gamma logs are useful tool to identify stratigraphic However, manually interpreting these features is subjective and time consuming due large volume data. this study, we propose a novel approach...
