The origin of dolomite is controversial; one view holds that dolomite evolved from magmatic rocks, ... which can successfully separate RE minerals and iron-bearing minerals. 55 Wang et al. 59 proposed a stepwise magnetic separation process to …

c. Flotation: Flotation is a selective separation process that relies on the differences in the surface properties of the ore minerals. Chemical reagents are added to the ore slurry to selectively attach to and float the iron-bearing minerals while leaving the gangue behind. ... Iron ore processing is a complex and vital process that transforms ...

Although extensive research is also carried out to process the high alumina iron ore using magnetic separation method in China and other countries [6,7], the effect is not ideal.

In iron ore processing plants, different tailing streams are usually transferred to the tailings thickener for partial dewatering and finally transferred to the tailings dam as a single stream. Therefore, the mixing of different tailings streams happens. This way can challenge the process of reprocessing the tailings in the tailings dam since the mixing of …

The principal separation in iron ore beneficiation, therefore, is between the iron minerals, hematite and/or magnetite, and silica, principally in the form of quartz (SiO 2).
