During mining, beneficiation and transportation of these manganese-bearing ores up to 30% of the ore produced is converted into −10 mm low grade Mn ore fines. Indian manganese ore deposits occur as bedded sedimentary deposits and found in Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andra Pradesh and Orissa states.
The iron (Fe) content of such ores ranges from 72% to 35%. The highly friable and fully liberated constituents in ore, such as alumina and silica, generate a large quantity of fines during mechanized mining and crushing. Fine gangue material or iron ore slimes having <45%–55% Fe are discarded as reject during the ore beneficiation process.

These iron fines were mixed thoroughly with non-coking coal samples in different proportions. The iron coal mixture of known weight was placed in a container.
The STET tribo-electrostatic technology has been used to process and commercially separate a wide range of industrial minerals and other dry granular powders. Here, bench-scale results are presented on the beneficiation of low-grade Fe ore fines using STET belt separation process. Bench-scale testing demonstrated the capability of the STET ...
Download PDF . ST Equipment & Technology LLC (STET) tribo-electrostatic belt separator technology allows for the beneficiation of fine mineral powders with an entirely dry technology at a high throughput. The STET separator is well suited for separation of very fine (<1µm) to moderately coarse (500µm) particles, in contrast to other electrostatic …
Beneficiation of high alumina iron ore fines from Noamundi, India is studied for producing sinter/ pellet grade concentrate. The iron ore fine sample has a feed grade of 59.77%Fe, %4.71SiO 2, and % 5.89Al 2 O 3 with % 5.53 of LOI (Loss on Ignition). ... During beneficiation/washing process, products which have alumina less than 2% are ...
In the past, a lot of experimental research work on this type of iron ore beneficiation, including reduction roasting – weak magnetic separation process of the selection index is relatively good, but because of its technical difficulties is the need for ultra-fine grinding, and the current conventional beneficiation equipment and chemicals ...
This process produces high-content iron ore concentrates but is limited to low magnetic iron ores and, therefore, not suitable for processing low-grade iron containing fine iron [1, 12, 39]. In addition to physical iron ore beneficiation techniques, traditional chemical methods of iron ore beneficiation, such as leaching, froth flotation, and ...
