For low-grade iron ore, smelting costs and resource wastage will be increased. Product quality of such ore is affected adversely by an excessive amount of sulfur. This also causes environmental pollution. In accordance with the vanadium-titanium (V-Ti) magnetite concentrate properties with low iron grade and high sulfur content, the joint process of magnetic separation and flotation was carried out. Magnetic separation was conducted to increase the iron grade, while reverse flotation was used to reduce sulfur content. Results show that the feeding mainly contains titanomagnetite, hematite, and pyrite. The sulfur was primarily found in pyrite. The separation effect was influenced by the grinding fineness, magnetic intensity, collector type and dosage, and pH value. At a grinding fineness of −45 μm accounting for 87%, most of the iron minerals exhibited monomer dissociation. An open-circuit experiment was carried out under the best conditions of magnetic intensity, as well as collector and modifier dosage. Good experimental results were obtained as follows: the iron grade increased to 57.17%, iron recovery was 89.94%, sulfur content decreased from 0.66% to 0.26%, reverse flotation of sulfur foam concentrate contained almost 15.68% sulfur, the upgrade ratio was about 23, and the cobalt in the sulfur concentrate was enriched 20-fold. A method for improving the comprehensive utilization level and effect of mineral resources is provided in this study.

The beneficiation of Anshan-type low-grade hematite ores attracts more and more attention. Complicated beneficiation flow sheets are necessary to deal this type of ores. Classification-gravity concentration technology is used widely in these flow sheets because of its characteristics. In this paper, grinding characteristics and classification-gravity concentration tests were carried out based on the ore’s mineralogical characteristics. When the ground size of the ore was 75% -0.071mm, through beneficiation by the flow sheet of classification-gravity concentration-middle intensity magnetic separation discarding, a satisfactory concentrate assaying 67.58% Fe, 47.51% recovery was obtained, and the iron grade and yield of the tailings were 5.93% and 39.77% respectively. The controlling of the size distribution and the behavior of finer hematite grains is important and efficiency in beneficiation of Anshan-type hematite ores.

The Band-e Narges deposit is located about 70 km northeast of the city of Badrud, northern Isfahan province. Band-E Narges ore deposit is mining for magnetite. To release valuable minerals, crushing and grinding implemented for separation ore from the gangue. Magnetic separation and flotation methods for upgrading magnetite iron ore were carried out in different experimental conditions with varied parameters. The particle size of the initial content was 74 microns for flotation, and 150 microns for magnetic separation. The initial samples, with the iron grade of 43.4% and sulfur of 1.9%, are individually subjected to upgrading by floatation and magnetic separation during which the affecting parameters for each method were optimized. The improvement in the optimal condition for magnetic separation culminated in 60.85% for the iron grade, 85.21% iron for recovery and 1.08% for sulfur content. The upgrading by floatation in the optimal mode produced 60.02% iron grade, 80.41% iron recovery and 0.95% sulfur content. To determine the best method for the pre-concentration stage of ore, the content gained from each technique passed reclining for grad improvement. The final content obtained from the magnetic separation of was undergone the floatation test yielded to a content with 64.3% iron grade, 77.15% iron recovery and 0.7% sulfur content. The use of magnetic separation as a pre-concentration stage for floatation method is proposed as an economical method for improving the grade of the iron and reduce the sulfur content and to avoid the high cost of grinding, which is costly part of processing procedures.

Low grade magnesite coexisting with dolomite was purified by flotation. A process of reverse flotation to remove silicate minerals- positive flotation to concentrate magnesite was explored after the systematic process mineralogical investigation. Influence of different conditions such as grinding fineness experiment, collector experiment and combined modifiers experiment was also investigated. Open-circuit flotation test was carried out under the optimum conditions. It was showed in the result that the MgO content in concentrate was increased from 32.36% to 42.25%, the CaO and SiO2 contents in concentrate were decreased from1.08% and 17.70% to 6.73% and 0.19% respectively, but the recovery of MgO was not satisfactory.

In present article, the low intensity magnetic separation process was studied for the low-grade niobium minerals by microwave magnetic roasting. The influence of magnetic density, particle size of grinding and dispersant addition on the magnetic separation effect of sinter ore with the best magnetisability was investigated emphatically. The results show that the iron recovery was decreased and the iron grade increased gradually with decreasing the magnetic density and particle size of grinding. The magnetic separation result of sinter ore was optimal under the magnetic density of 80KA / m and the grinding grain-size of 33 μm. Fine grinding can effectively make Fe separated from Nb, especially when the dispersant(industrial alcohol) was used in the process of magnetic separation , resulting in the improvement of the grade of iron from 57.2% to 60.5% and enrichment of Nb in the tailing ore(the grade of Nb was 5.01%). After the acid pickling of tailing ore containing Nb, the grade of Nb in the extract was improved to 12.36%, which was enriched four times more than that of low-grade niobium ore before microwave magnetic roasting.

In recent years, recovering zinc from low grade oxidized zinc ore has been a matter of discussion. In this paper, the investigation for recovering zinc and iron from gossan ores was carried out. In generally, the conventional physical separation methods, such as flotation, gravity separation and magnetic separation, were used to treat the low grade ore, and flotation is the most commonly used method for beneficiation and pretreatment of oxidized zinc minerals. However, gravity separation and magnetic separation are used to deal with the gossan ores because of the special zinc oxide ore bearing iron 40.2% in this study. The effects of grinding fineness and magnetic intensity were investigated, respectively. The results show that the grade of zinc and iron increase slightly, and the best result is that the grade of zinc and iron are 13.35% and 40.25%, the recovery of zinc and iron are 53.45% and 52.19%.

High-phosphorus oolitic iron ore, treated by suspended flash magnetic roasting, contained 42.73% iron (mainly present as magnetite) and 0.93% phosphorus (present as collophane). Low-intensity magnetic separation (LIMS) was combined with reverse flotation to increase the iron and reduce the phosphorus contents of the roasted product. The results showed that an optimized iron ore concentrate with an iron grade of 67.54%, phosphorus content of 0.11%, and iron recovery of 78.99% were obtained under LIMS conditions that employed a grind of 95% −0.038 mm and a magnetic field of 0.10 T. Optimized rougher reverse-flotation conditions used a pulp pH of 9 and dosages of toluenesulfonamide, starch, and pine alcohol oil of 800 g/t, 1000 g/t, and 40 g/t, respectively; optimized scavenging conditions used a pulp pH of 9 and dosages of toluenesulfonamide, starch, and pine alcohol oil of 400 g/t, 500 g/t, and 20 g/t, respectively. Study of the mechanism of phosphorus reduction showed that the toluenesulfonamide could be adsorbed on the surface of quartz after the action of starch, but adsorption was significantly weakened. The starch inhibitor negatively affected adsorption on quartz, but positively influenced adsorption of phosphorus minerals.
