Ukraine is in 10 countries with the largest reserves of iron ores, and the iron ore industry and metallurgical complex are budgetary sectors economically important for the country. For now the mining and metallurgical complex is experiencing not the best of times, and experts say that Ukraine is not using its potential, as it should. One of the main steps in inventory calculation is the determination of boundary value. Boundary value is calculated on the basis of geological, economic, technological and social aspects. Using only geological information, you can calculate the most favorable boundary value using geostatistics. The main cut-off parameter that determines reserves quality of ferruginous quartzites, which require enrichment by magnetic separation, is iron associated with magnetite Femagn. The paper proposes a tool for choosing the optimal cut-off grade values for evaluating BIF deposits using the example one of the West Azov group deposit. Comparison of cut-off parameters for reserves calculation of iron ores within the Azov Group deposits is carried out. To find the optimal cut-off grade Femagn using geostatistics and spatial modeling, we analyzed the dynamics of changes in the amount of reserves from changes of cut-off grade Fe. Fluctuations in average Fe grade also were took into account. The paper substantiates the optimal cut-off grade values of Fe associated with magnetite in the range of 12–14 %. The interval of the largest changes in reserves quantity with an increase is fixed for range of 12–18 %. Beyond this interval there is a minimal fluctuation of ore reserves quantity as a result of cut-off grade’s changes. In order to find optimal cut-off grade values using geostatistics and spatial modeling, it is necessary to follow the dynamics of reserves’ quantity changes depend on Fe cut-off grade, as well as to take into account average Fe grade fluctuations when changing cut-off grade.

The mineral processing technology of Anshan-type iron ores has been developed in a rapid speed in recent years, and the combined flowsheet at the core of anionic reverse flotation has become a mainstream in the beneficiation of Anshan-type iron ores in china. With the successful application of this combined flowsheet, some obvious problems are also emerging. Such as high requirement of pulp temperature, complex reagent system, high cost of reagent consumption and so on. In view of this,we have carried out an experimental study on the separation of Anshan type iron ore by cationic reverse flotation . A new collector (named KBD) which is mixed amines have been developed . On this basis, the actual mineral separation experiment is carried out in the laboratory.With KBD as the collector,and starch and sodium hexametaphoshate as the depressant, has resulted in an iron concentrate of 68.16% and recovery rate of 89.71%. The determination of the electrokinetic potential and the infra-red spectroscopic analysis show that KBD can effectively and priorly adsorbed to the surface of quartz, and has greatly change the elecrtokinetic potential of quartz.The interaction of the depressing agent has increased the differences of the floatabilities in quartz and hermitite and changed the surface electric property so that the effective separation has been realized.

High-temperature properties of 10 samples of iron ore from Brazil, Australia and China were measured. Several conclusions were made based on these experimental results. Assimilability of Brazilian ore, Australian ore and Chinese ore concentrate were low, high and medium, respectively. Optimal fluidity of liquid phase was observed in 2 types of Brazilian ores (BR-B, BR-C), 1 type of Australian ore (AU-C) and 1 type of Chinese ore (CH-D). For self-strength of the bonding phase, Australian ore presented low levels, while Brazilian and Chinese ore presented high levels. According to the experimental results of high-temperature properties of iron ore, schemes of ore blending optimization were designed and sinter pot test using these blends were performed. The results indicated that ore blends composed of 30~45% Brazilian ores + 25~50% Australian ores + 20~30% Chinese concentrates presented excellent sintering results, considering both the performance of the processing and quality of the sinter. Therefore this experiment has proved that ore blending optimization combining high temperature properties can lead to more efficient sintering mixes.

There is fragmentary knowledge of iron ore sources exploited in the past for many regions including the Southern Levant. This missing information has the potential to shed light on political, economic, craft-production, and trading patterns of past societies. This paper presents the results of smelting experiments performed in graphite crucibles and a muffle furnace, using 14 iron ore samples from the Southern Levant, in an attempt to determine their suitability for smelting using ancient techniques. A range of analytical techniques, including optical and electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and portable X-ray fluorescence were used to comparatively investigate the mineralogy and composition of the precursor iron ores and their smelting products: Iron bloom and slag. Several parameters attesting to the ability of a given ore to be successfully reduced and consolidated into a solid metal mass were quantified. The generated results highlight the significance of a ‘correct balance’ between iron oxides and other major elements in the smelting system in order to form fluid slag and a well-consolidated bloom. These data contribute to the understanding of factors, potentially influencing choices of iron ore exploitation by past human societies in the Southern Levant.

The quality of pellet has a great extent effect on the BF smooth operation. In this paper, Self-characteristics of iron ore powers used in pellet process were investigated. Then, the principles of ore-proportioning optimization basing on self-characteristics of iron ore during pelletizing were proposed. Schemes of ore-proportioning optimization were designed and a series of experiments on the schemes have been made for seeking the rational ore-proportioning scheme. The results show that there are great differences in the pelletizing properties of single iron ore podwer, and the object of improving pellet quality is reached through optimizing ore-proportioning, that lays a theoretical foundation and provides technical basis for improving pellet quality.

One that influences human resource indicators is education. The teacher is a profession as a job of academic specialization in a relatively long time in college. Understanding related to teacher competence is very important to have by a prospective teacher because it can affect the quality of performance as a professional teacher. The teacher's competence is known as pedagogic, professional, social and personality competencies. The issue in this study is how the competency of the teacher of the Department of Geography Education FKIP Unsyiah as a prospective teacher of geography? The purpose of this study was to determine the competence of teachers in the Department of Geography Education FKIP Unsyiah as prospective geography teachers. Quantitative description approach is used in this study to find answers to the issue. The population in this study were students of the Department of Geography Education FKIP Unsyiah class of 2015 and 2016 who had been declared to have passed the Micro Teaching and Magang Kependidikan 3 course totaling 50 people. Because the population is small and can be reached, the determination of the sample using total sampling techniques so that the sample in this study is the whole population. Data collection is done by distributing test questions to respondents. The data was analyzed using the descriptive statistics percentage formula. The results of the study indicate that the level of teacher competence of Geography Education Department students as prospective teachers is in the moderate category, namely as many as 22 respondents (44%). A total of 12 respondents (24%) were in the high category, 15 respondents (30%) were in the low category and 1 respondent (2%) were in the very low category.

The article focuses on examining the influence of fluctuations in annual precipitation amount on the quality of surface waters. Water quality was estimated with data on BOD, COD and phosphate–ion concentration within five selected regions of Ukraine. Analysis of the precipitation data (1991 – 2010) showed different regional trends. Using the statistics, determination of the interconnection between precipitation amount and water resources quality were done. The obtained regularities and associated uncertainties can be used for prediction of changes in water resource quality and as a guide for future adaptation to possible climate change.
