A huge quantity of iron ore tailings was generated every year from the iron ore washing plants during beneficiation. These discarded tailings were stored in the tailing pond. Safe storage and handling of these tailings are a major concern to the management. Due to depletion of high-grade ore, the government of India had reduced the cut-off grade from 55 to 45% because of the shortage of the iron ore reserves. Ultrafine particles present in the tailings cannot be treated effectively by the conventional methods due to particle size limitations. For Indian iron ore, associated gangue mineral alumina is the major source which causes problems in the blast furnace. Removal of alumina from the iron ore of ultrafine size is a hill task. A selective flocculation approach was employed to the iron ore tailings which contain 50.98% of Fe (T) with 8.86% of Al2O3 assay. It was observed that, when applying a selective flocculation process, the concentrate contains more than 63.48% Fe (%), 2.5% Al2O3 with 31.196% recovery (%). The mechanism was investigated using zeta potential analysis, FTIR analysis, etc.

Abstract The present work discloses the development of a sustainable cement tile (SCT) produced with Iron Ore Tailings from tailings dams (IOT). Initially, technical evaluation and environmental analysis of IOT were performed through physical, chemical and morphological characterisation, leaching and dissolution tests. Its feasibility as a pigment was also investigated. Subsequently, the value analysis was performed, starting from an empathy map to a study on environmental, social and emotional values in the relationship between people and product. As result, the IOT presented fine, crystalline particles, no toxicity, and is technically feasible to be employed as filler, aggregate and pigment in the production of SCT. The colour layer of the SCT presented more homogeneous colour and less pores than conventional ones. Therefore, the design of the SCT was developed, incorporating intangible values such as: environmental ideology, local identity and social expression. In this sense, the present work seeks to assist in the decision-making process involving IOT as construction material.
