this study aims to investigate and optimize the effects of the main parameters including the particle size, gravity and magnetic separation combination, high gradient magnetic separation, magnetic field intensity, shaking table slope, washing water flow, and electrostatic separation upon the rare earth element (ree) recoveries from iron mine waste. the electron microprobe showed that high amoun...

T. Lis, K. Nowacki, K. Łakomy Silesian University of Technology, Department of Production Engineering, Katowice, Poland In the European Union one of the most important activities is the recovery and recycling of waste including foundry waste. In the article waste arising from production of iron casting was presented. Selected physic-chemical properties of iron-bearing waste were defined. Opport...

Waste iron sulfate is produced in titanium dioxide manufacture and in steel pickling with sulfuric acid. Many processes have been proposed to use this waste as a source of chemicals or raw materials. The process developed here is based on the reaction with pure or waste calcium chloride (Solvay brine) to obtain iron(I1) chloride and gypsum as a b y product. The iron chloride solution can either...

background: contamination of water with arsenic has attracted the researchers’ attention as a global problem in recent years and has been observed in some parts of iran. the purpose of this study is to assess the efficiency of welding iron waste in removing arsenic from aqueous solutions.   methods: in this study, the effects of different parameters, such as ph (3-9), initial concentration of a...

Under the circumstances of low-carbon economy, the theoretical applications of the green supply chain management of steel and iron manufacture are to reform and innovate the present manufacturing process, enhance the controlling and reclaiming, and recycling using of the waste steel and iron, steel slag, and dust emissions, establish the green supply chain structure oriented to the cycle of “re...

Dilution can best be defined as the proportion of waste tonnage to the total weight of ore and waste in each block. Predicting the internal dilution based on geological boundaries of waste and ore in each block can help engineers to develop more reliable long-term planning designs in mining activities. This paper presents a method to calculate the geological internal dilution in each block and ...

A Publication of the Association for Iron & Steel Technology Ironand steelmaking processes present a largely untapped opportunity to transform some of the world’s most problematic waste streams into raw materials for production. This opportunity lies in their high-temperature environments, which offer sustainable pathways for utilizing chemical reactions to repurpose waste materials as resource...

Sludge from a treatment process using iron was exposed to a mildly acidic solution to investigate iron hydroxide's capacity to collect metals from waste. Batches of iron hydroxide were regenerated and reused 50 times to treat both synthetic and real plating waste. Treatment efficiency was very high and steady, and there was no indication of deterioration in any aspect of process performance. Ov...

Partially Lateritised Khondalite (PLK) rocks are the waste materials generated as a result of mining of bauxite. The major discolouring elemental impurity in the PLK is iron oxides, which render it unsuitable for its use as a refractory material. The iron can be removed by suitable beneficiation methods. The main aim of this present investigation is to prepare a value added material from the mi...

The kinetics of phosphate adsorbed on waste iron sludge was investigated in this study. Static batch adsorption experiments were performed at different initial phosphate concentrations, initial pH and temperature of solution. The initial adsorption rate increased with increasing the phosphate concentration. A shorter time, however, was required to reach adsorption equilibrium at low phosphate c...
