Iron ore tailings are mainly composed of SiO2 and iron, whose content determines the potential reuse strategy of the tailings. Compared with the traditional wet chemistry approach, spectroscopy has proven its superior effectiveness in characterizing and predicting minerals, such as iron oxides, clay, and SiO2. This study aims to estimate the content of SiO2 and TFe in iron …

already been grinded, separation process requires much less energy and can also decrease total costs of concentrate production. Due to gradual depletion of iron ore reserves, more studies are devoted to tailings processing [3-7]. The results of these works indicate the potential recovery of iron ore concentrates from mining-induced mineral

Highly magnetic iron ore is attracted to the magnets while the non-magnetic materials and gangue minerals drop away as tailings. This process produces high-content iron ore concentrates but is limited to low magnetic iron ores and, therefore, not suitable for processing low-grade iron containing fine iron [1, 12, 39].

Iron tailings (IT) generated during the mining and screening processes have accumulated over 10 billion tons in China as of 2019. However, the utilization rate remains low at only 7 %, with the majority stored, which poses significant environmental risks (Davila et al., 2020).In light of iron ore depletion in China, recovering iron from IT is increasingly importance (Mohr et al., 2015).

Iron tailings are a type of solid waste produced during the separation of valuable metals from iron ores [1].Iron tailings are the primary mine solid waste in China, with reserves of nearly 5 × 10 3 million tons and a steady annual growth rate of over 30 million tons [2].Generally, iron tailings are deposited in tailing dams, causing environmental problems and potential …

In this paper, the properties, mineral magnetic modification, and beneficiation of tailings from the central mining and processing plant in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, have been studied. Samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, microscopy, and magnetization measurements. The beneficiation was conducted using magnetizing roasting …

Physicochemical Characterization of Iron Ore Tailings The chemical and mineralogical composition of the IOT generated in the iron ore beneficiation process depends mainly on the mineralogy of the processed rock, the nature of the processing fluids used in the target minerals, the efficiency of the processing, and the degree of weathering before ...

Introduction. The waste residue released from ore in mines after refining in the beneficiation plant is referred to as tailing sand (Dudeney et al., 2012; Kossoff et al., 2014; Lei et al., 2016).More than 10 billion tons of tailings are produced each year in the world, and approximately five billion tons of tailing sand are piled in China, with an annual increase of …
