The paper describes the main drive systems of an iron ore pelletizing plant and related important design aspects. It is shown how today’s drive systems provide the desired flexibility for the process and lead to high energy efficiency and system reliability. With respect to electric drives expansion projects have many technical issues in common with green-field installations. However, there are...

The iron content of the ore used is crucial for the productivity and coke consumption rate in blast furnace pig iron production. Therefore, most iron ore deposits are processed in beneficiation plants to increase the iron content and remove impurities. In several comminution stages, the particle size of the ore is reduced to ensure that the iron oxides are physically liberated from the gangue. ...

A study on the quantitative leaching of iron ore in hydrochloric acid solution has been undertaken. The elemental composition of the iron ore was also carried out using ICP-MS technique. The major elements in the iron ore include: Fe(66.7%); Al (0.2%); Si (5.2%); Ti (0.02%) and O (28.0%). Some traces of V, Ni, Zn, Ce, Cr, La, Y and Zr were also found. The effects of contact time, acid concentra...

Iron ores are used in blast furnace for the production of pig iron; AGBAJA Iron ore has an estimated reserve of over I billion metric tonnes. Unfortunately, this large reserve cannot be utilized for the production of pig iron due to its high sulphur contents. This work studied the reduction of sulphur content of AGBAJA iron ore. Acid leaching methods were used to reduce sulphur contents of the ...

If JR is a ring, and G is a group of automorphisms of R, then R denotes the subring of R consisting of elements of R left fixed by every element of G, and is called the Galois subring corresponding to G. In his paper, Groups acting on hereditary rings, G. M. Bergman has asked if every Galois subring of a right Ore domain corresponding to a finite group is itself right Ore. In this note we show ...

An orthogonal Ore algebra is an abstraction of common properties of linear partial differential, shift and q-shift operators. Using orthogonal Ore algebras, we present an algorithm for finding hyperexponential solutions of a system of linear differential, shift and q-shift operators, or any mixture thereof, whose solution space is finite-dimensional. The algorithm is applicable to factoring mod...

The relations between evaluation of Ore polynomials and pseudo-linear transformations are studied. The behavior of these transformations under homomorphisms of Ore extensions, in particular with respect to algebraicity, is analyzed leading to characterization of left and right primitivity of an Ore extension. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for algebraic pseudo-linear transformati...

Traditional geostatistical estimation techniques have been used predominantly by the mining industry for ore reserve estimation. Determination of mineral reserve has posed considerable challenge to mining engineers due to the geological complexities of ore body formation. Extensive research over the years has resulted in the development of several state-of-the-art methods for predictive spatial...

This contribution illustrates the procedures of calculating rare earth element (REE) patterns of magmatic fluids in equilibrium with granitic melts. These patterns can then be compared to those of altered and (or) mineralized rocks in order to investigate the source of the ore-fluids. This technique is applied to the Lake George Sb-Au-W-Mo mineral deposit, New Brunswick, Canada. The results sug...

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...
