Iron Ore Beneficiation in Australia
The presentation discusses recent growth of the Australian iron ore industry and the place of beneficiation in that growth.The changes in the beneficiation processes utilised since the start of the industry in 1966 are discussed in four stages: first generation plants - heavy media processes second generation plants - jigs and spiral processes third generation …
22.4: Beneficiation
Beneficiation may involve physical or chemical processes. Often, as in the case of panning for gold, the desired ore or metal is denser than the gangue. The latter can be suspended in a stream of water and flushed away. The iron ore magnetite, Fe 3 O 4, is ferrimagnetic. It can be separated from abundant deposits of taconite by grinding to a ...
