The six main steps of iron ore processing

This step is repeated two or three times, depending on the desired liberation and iron concentration. 6. Magnetic separation The concentrate collected from the middlings and tails after spiral gravity separation has a lower iron concentration (magnetite) so it must be further concentrated to achieve the customer's 65% Fe concentration. It is ...

Investigation of residence time and fluid volume in spiral

Gravity concentration. Spiral concentrators. 1. Introduction. Canadian iron ore processing plants mostly use spiral concentrators to valorize iron minerals (Pérez-Barnuevo et al., 2018, Sadeghi and Bazin, 2020, Boisvert et al., 2022, Boisvert et al., 2023). Spiral concentrators usually follow a fully autogenous grinding circuit.

The Use of Spiral Separators for Iron Ores Concentration

The recovery of iron to the concentrates of spiral separation was 33.6-42.0%. The studies presented demonstrate that by using spiral separation for iron-bearing ores concentration, you can separate magnetite liberated grains at the early concentration stages, decrease their regrinding and circulating loads in grinding circuits. This process is ...

Optimisation of Wash Water on an Iron Ore Spiral to Improve Grade

Spiral concentrators are gravity based separation devices used for the preparation of coal, iron and heavy mineral ores (Wills, 1992). Gravity concentration remains the main separation method for fine iron ore and is used extensively for treating many minerals. Gravity concentration methods separate minerals of different specific gravity by their relative movement in response to gravity …
