As high-grade iron ore deposits are gradually being depleted, more difficult-to-process ores such as goethite-rich, low-grade iron ores and tailings are now being processed. These ores often contain impurities and require some form of beneficiation in order to achieve the typical grades required for sale to downstream steel producers.
The beneficiation of various types of iron ore is a complex process that requires careful analysis and planning. Whether it is hematite, magnetite, or any other iron ore, implementing effective beneficiation technology can significantly improve the economic viability of a mining operation.
