Iron Ore processing

Different iron-bearing feeds can respond differently to processing. An iron assay alone does not identify a workable route. Share mineral composition, the distribution of iron across size fractions and available laboratory separation results.

Begin equipment selection with mineral analysis, liberation and separation test results.

Process considerations

Prepare and classify the feed; evaluate grinding where liberation requires it. Magnetic or other separation stages should follow the sample evidence, with concentrate, tailings and water handling considered together.

Information for equipment selection

  • Representative sample and mineralogy
  • Feed assay and target concentrate specification
  • Magnetic response
  • Liberation size and grinding tests
  • Impurities and tailings characteristics
