The common iron ore hematite (iron oxide) changes to metallic iron at ∼1250°C, 300°C below the melting point of iron (1538°C). Addition of flux helps the melting of oxide ores, chemically reacts with unwanted impurities (silicon compounds), and assists in the formation of slag. Calcium oxide, in the form of limestone, is commonly used as flux.

Recover Gold by Roasting Pyrite Ore.

As hematite and magnetite are the main concomitant constituents in iron ores, the separation index after the magnetization roasting will be more optimized than with only hematite. In this research, the mechanism of the original magnetite …

Phosphorus-bearing refractory iron ore is a typical refractory iron resource with low Fe content, weakly magnetic, and high phosphorus content [8], [9].When traditional beneficiation methods, such as gravity separation, magnetic separation, and flotation, are employed to extract iron from gangue, the Fe recovery and Fe grade of concentrate are very low [10], [11], [12].
