Abstract. The main objective of bauxite beneficiation is to lower the concentration of reactive silica, in the form of kaolinitic clay, and also to increase the alumina content. Additionally, reduction in iron content, particularly in the form of goethite, and reduction of organic carbon can also increase the value of the bauxite product.
The iron ore fines sample was collected from the spiral classifier overflow of a typical Iron ore beneficiation plant of Noamundi, India. The sample was dried, thoroughly mixed and analysis indicated that the dried sample contained 59.77% of total iron, 5.89% alumina and 4.71% silica with an LOI (Loss on Ignition) of 5.53%.
With the development of the world steel industry, the increasing need for beneficiation due to the depletion of high-grade iron ore resources, and the strict requirements for environment protection, the production of fired pellets will have considerable room to increase, as predicted in Table 15.3 (Mendes, 2012).
In the present paper, an attempt has been made to beneficiate iron ore tailings by selective flocculation using guar gum and starch as flocculants along with sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) as the dispersant. The mineralogical studies carried out initially indicated the presence of hematite and goethite as major iron bearing …
