There has been much work in exploiting the potential field relationships to extract information from the data. Kanasewich and Agarwal in 1970 explored the validity of examining the magnetization to density ratio in the wavenumber domain as an interpretation tool. Directly combining magnetic and gravity derived gravity gradient data in the spatial domain through the Poisson relation has been acc...

The stability of tailing dam has an important influence on the surrounding ecological environment and the security and property of people. This article, from the micro perspective, analyzes of the water-tailing chemical interactions and process and analyzes its effects on tailing micro structure and dam stability. The experimental results show that ferrous iron in water(PH=9.5-10.3) is constant...

Th is study aims at studying effect of anaerobic dissimilatory iron (III) reducing bacterial consortium on different phases of iron present in lateritic n ickel ore. Such conversion in lateritic nickel ore are helpful in better recovery of sorbed metal values like Ni and Co by subsequent bioleaching or acid leaching. Here properties of thermally and microbially reduced lateritic nickel ore are ...

The main purpose of geometallurgy is to develop a model to predict the variability in the mineral processing performance within the ore body. Geometallurgical tests used for developing such a model need to be fast, practical and inexpensive and include as an input data relevant and measureable geological parameters like elemental grades, mineral grades and grain size. Important in each geometal...

In Sangan iron mine nearly two million tons of low-grade iron ore has been extracted and deposited in the mining site and currently no action is made on them. On the other hand, the mining site is located in the semi-arid region and wet processing has been restricted due to water shortage. In this research, the upgradation of Sangan low-grade iron ore from mine B has been performed by dry low-i...

LKAB’s Kiruna Mine, located in northern Sweden, produces about 24 million tons of iron ore yearly using an underground mining method known as sublevel caving. To efficiently run the mills that process the iron ore, the mine must deliver planned quantities of three ore types. We used mixed-integer programming to schedule Kiruna’s operations, specifically, which production blocks to mine and when...

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...

There is a rapidly increasing demand for iron resources with the fast-paced development of the iron and steel industry. For this reason, the iron and steel industry is facing the risk of a raw material shortage. Deposits of high-phosphorus iron ores are widely spread worldwide, but the use of these deposits in industry is limited owing to the high phosphorus content, which affects the cost of t...

From the rupture of Fundão dam in Mariana–MG, there are tailings still present at bottom plant that must be recovered. The flocculation followed by sedimentation operation can applied as a unit this recovering process. Instead using conventional inorganic coagulants, bio-based coagulants offer some advantages, due to their low toxicity and biodegradability. Nonetheless, use mining industry is n...
