In China, most iron ores are low grade (<33%), complex in phase structure and combined closely between iron and gangue minerals, which causes iron ores difficult for beneficiation, ... In the laterite residue, iron existed in the form of hematite. The content of chromium and silica is 1.23% and 1.66%, respectively.

The present study is carried out to recover iron value from low grade goethite iron ore. The method is based on coal based magnetization roasting followed by magnetic separation. The effect of temperature, residence time and magnetic field intensity on grade and recovery of iron ore have been studied.

The nickel and iron recoveries were 89.36% and 95.87% respectively, which achieved the highly efficient recovery and utilization of iron and nickel of low-grade laterite nickel ore. View Show abstract

The prominence is to develop a method for the beneficiation of low grade/slimes/fines iron ore which should be cost effective. It is also very necessary that beneficiated ore should be suitable for sinter, blast furnace & in …

The low-grade nickel laterite ore used in this study was successfully upgraded through selective reduction by industrialized rotary kilns followed by magnetic separation. The results indicated that both iron metallization extent and nickel metallization extent showed obvious linear correlation. In addition, rational roasting temperature and prolonged grinding time could …

A limonitic laterite sample from Sarchahan deposit (Fars province, Iran) containing 0.8% Ni and 27.3% Fe was used for the experiment and dissolution behavior of nickel and iron during the course of long time leaching runs (52 h) was studied under the influence of temperature (60–90 °C) and oxalic acid concentration (0.75–1.25 M).

Abstract A new process is developed for metallurgical beneficiation of iron laterite nickel-containing (limonite) ores with the formation of a metallic nickel–cobalt concentrate. This process includes reducing roasting of the ores with sulfur-containing additions in the temperature range 1100–1200°C, the fragmentation of the roasting product, and the magnetic separation of …
