Alumina-rich iron ore is a widely existed polymetallic deposit in the nature, and it has a high comprehensive utilization value. Because the alumina and iron contents of alumina-rich iron ore vary from each other, there are many different measures and processes to recover iron and alumina from the various kinds of alumina-rich iron ore. In the blast furnace (BF) ironmaking process, the alumina ...

ABSTRACT:Iron ore is the main mineral resources to support China's national economy, and open-pit mining is the main way. Chemical analysis has its disadvantages in terms of the determination of iron-ore type, such as slow speed and high cost. Therefore this study has put forward a method to determine iron-ore type through field spectrum analysis. First various types of iron-ore samples were co...

The Santa Lúcia copper-gold deposit lies in the southeastern portion of Carajás Mineral Province, along NW-SE splays Fault. is hosted by a rhyolitic subvolcanic rock, which crosscut pegmatite intrusions. paragenetic evolution at encompasses an early stage chlorite alteration, followed potassic alteration with microcline, greisenization (quartz-muscovite-tourmaline), ore precipitation, and late ...

The objective of this research is to determine all processes in the magmatic evolution and related hydrothermal activities that created the volcanic rocks and associated ore-forming systems of the Bafq ‎mining district. Several iron oxide-apatite (IOA) deposits were investigated in this area with a focus on the Sechahun ore deposit. The Bafq ‎mining district is well known for hosting significan...

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 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...

Recent research on BIF-related high-grade iron ore mineralization has resulted in new genetic models that emphasize the structurally controlled hypogene alteration and upgrade of BIF to high-grade (>65% Fe) iron ore. Conventional structural and stratigraphic mapping and reconstructions of the tectonic history of iron districts, in combination with high-tech geochemical analyses such as laser IC...

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...

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...
