In the particular case of pressing iron ore concentrates, Campos et al. [5] reviewed these models and recognized that the one proposed by Torres and Casali [15] described well the performance of a pilot-scale HPGR, but only after modifications were made to some of the model equations. Besides not yet having been tested to industrial-scale HPGR ...
The results indicated that when high-phosphorus iron ore concentrates containing 54.92 mass % iron and 0.76 mass % phosphorus were directly processed through acid leaching, iron ore concentrates containing 55.74 mass% iron and 0.33 mass % phosphorus with an iron recovery of 84.64 % and dephosphorization of 63.79 % were obtained.

1. Introduction. Iron ore concentrates are ground prior to pelletizing processes in order to increase their surface area to improve pellet resistance (Meyer, 1980).Size reduction operations typically include ball milling (Faria et al., 2019) and roller pressing (Van der Meer, 2015, Campos et al., 2019), which are applied to particles typically below 1 mm or so, to a …
Iron processing - Ores, Smelting, Refining: Iron ores occur in igneous, metamorphic (transformed), or sedimentary rocks in a variety of geologic environments. Most are sedimentary, but many have been changed by weathering, and so their precise origin is difficult to determine. The most widely distributed iron-bearing minerals are oxides, and iron ores consist mainly of …
To investigate the feasibility of co-sintering of fluxed iron ore with magnetite concentrates, the mineralogical properties of a novel fluxed iron ore were studied using particle size analysis, microscopic morphology characterization, and X-ray diffraction Rietveld analysis. Following that, the experiments for granulation performance and basic sintering characteristics …

Important characteristics of the chapter include the characteristics of iron ores and concentrates used to produce sinter including physico-chemical, mineralogical and metallurgical properties.
Utilizing ultrafine iron ore concentrate for pellet production can expand domestic iron ore resources in China and promote the utilization of low-grade ores. However, a challenge arises with the low decrepitation temperature and reducibility in the preparation process of ultrafine iron ore concentrate pellets. To address the challenge, a novel approach was …
Therefore, the prevention of defluidization during the DR of such fine iron ore concentrates is of great significance and has been extensively studied [2], [7], [9], [11]. Conical reactors appear to show promise with regard to solving the defluidization issue and are already widely utilized in the processing of adhesive particles. Based on the ...

High-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) have gained great popularity in the mining industry in the last 25 years or so. One of the first successful applications of the technology has been in iron ore pressing prior to pelletization. Piston-and-die tests can provide good insights on the material response in an HPGR. This work analyzed confined bed breakage of four iron ore …
Then, in the ore concentrate production stage, these crude ores are blended, sent to the dressing plant for beneficiation due to their low ore grade, and finally refined into the final product of iron ore concentrates (or pellets, etc.) with higher iron grade.
