Recovery of iron from iron-rich diasporic bauxite ore via reductive roasting followed by magnetic separation has been explored recently. However, the efficiency of alumina extraction in the non-magnetic materials is absent. In this paper, a further study on the digestion of alumina by the Bayer process from non-magnetic material obtained after magnetic separation of reduced iron-rich diasporic ...

Two texturally and mineralogically distinct types of Mississippi Valley-type mineralization are hosted by the upper Cambrian Metaline Formation in northeastern Washington. Josephine-type mineralization is iron poor and coarse grained, whereas Yellowhead-type mineralization is iron rich, fine grained, and commonly botryoidal. Josephine mineralization is found largely in the Josephine lithofacies...

Current blast furnace technology is a two-stage ironmaking process that requires that iron ore concentrate first be formed into pellets, fired at 1260°C, cooled, transported to the blast furnace, and then re-heated to approximately 1500°C to produce pig iron. This heating, cooling, and then reheating wastes a great deal of energy, which would be saved if the ironmaking process had only a single...

This study investigated the optimum conditions for the leaching of manganese-rich iron ore for subsequent beneficiation studies in laboratory scale. The experiments were carried out by varying the concentration of H2 SO4 solution and the leaching temperature. The properties of the iron ore was characterized by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)...

Abstract: The huge consumption of iron ores in China has attracted much attention to utilizing low grade complex iron resources, such as high-aluminum hematite-limonite ore, which is a refractory resource and difficult to upgrade by traditional physical concentration processes due to the superfine size and close dissemination of iron minerals with gangue minerals. An innovative technology for a...

kuh- e -zar gold deposit located 35 km west of torbat-e-heydaryeh, (khorassan e- razavi province), east of iran. this deposit is a specularite-rich iron oxide type (iocg). this mine is situated within khaf-bardascan volcanic plutonic belt. based on recent exploration along this belt, several iocg type system plus kuh-e-zar deposit are discovered. in the study area, several type of tuff and lava...

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 hor...

Key constraints related to the nature of alteration and mineralization in geologically complex economically important iron oxide copper–gold (IOCG) systems remain highly speculative, especially, physicochemical characteristics hydrothermal fluids. This study was conducted on samples from Khetri Copper Belt (KCB) western India that hosts several IOCG-type deposits. The aims constrain qualitative...

This paper is focused on the tactical design of steel supply chain (SSC). A general mathematical model is proposed to integrate production and transportation planning in multi-commodity SSC. The main purpose is to prepare a countrywide production and distribution plan in an SSC with three layers consisting of iron ore mines as suppliers, steel companies as producers, and subsidiary steel compan...

introduction the study area is located in central part of the khaf- kashmar-bardeskan belt which is volcano-plutonic belt at the north of the dorouneh fault in the north of lut block. the north of the lut block is affected by tectonic rotation and subduction processes which occur in the east of iran (tirrul et al., 1983). the magmatism of lut block begins in jurassic and continues in tertiary (...
