Iron ore beneficiation process

Process Introduction

Iron ore beneficiation is the process of obtaining high grade iron ore concentrate by separating useful iron ore minerals from unwanted vein minerals and enriching iron ore minerals through a series of physical, chemical and physicochemical methods from ores containing iron ore. The specific process technology Zhongya Machinary will provide EPC solutions according to the site and customer's situation.

Iron ore benefication plant workflow

Step 1:Crushing

Used to crush large iron ore into smaller particles
Required equipment: hopper, vibrating feeder, jaw crusher, cone crusher

Step 2:Grinding

The crushed iron ore is further ground to reach the required particle size for mineral processing.
Required equipment: ball mill, spiral classifier

Step 3:Magnetic Separation

According to the magnetic difference of the iron ore for sorting, commonly used permanent magnetic cylinder magnetic separator, wet magnetic separator
Required equipment: strong magnetic separator, weak magnetic separator, high efficiency sieve, etc.

Step 4: Tailings treatment

After getting magnetite concentrate, tailings treatment equipment is needed to deal with the tailings produced in the beneficiation process, which can be dried after concentration, dehydration and drying.

The selection and combination of these equipments depends on the nature of iron ore, beneficiation process and production scale and other factors. In practical application, the selection and configuration of equipment are usually carried out according to the specific situation to achieve the best beneficiation effect and economic benefits.
