With the development of mining operation, the content of iron carbonate typically siderite increases evidently in the iron ore produced in Dong Anshan floatation plant, China. The presence of siderite significantly decreases the iron grade in the concentrate produced by the current reverse anionic flotation process. The study shows that the floatability of hematite, siderite and quartz differs with an increase of pH by using the combination of starch and CaCl2 as depressant. A two-step flotation process has been developed to treat Dong Anshan iron ore by which siderite was removed in the first step floatation and in the second step, reverse anionic flotation was used to produce high quality iron concentrate.

For the middlings (containing siderite) separated from Dong Anshan carbonaceous iron ore which was dressed by a two-step flotation process, using roasting-magnetic and regrinding-magnetic separation, the iron concentrate with iron grade and iron recovery of 60.31%, 87.49% was obtained. Mechanism of reduction-roasting was studied by means of XRD in the end.

Demand for high-quality iron concentrate is significantly increasing around the world. Thus, the development of the techniques for a selective separation and rejection of typical associated minerals in the iron oxide ores, such as phosphorous minerals (mainly apatite group), is a high priority. Reverse anionic flotation by using sodium silicate (SS) as an iron oxide depressant is one of the techniques for iron ore processing. This investigation is going to present a synthesized reagent “sodium co-silicate (SCS)” for hematite depression through a reverse anionic flotation. The main hypothesis is the selective depression of hematite and, simultaneously, modification of the pulp pH by SCS. Various flotation experiments, including micro-flotation, and batch flotation of laboratory and industrial scales, were conducted in order to compare the depression selectivity of SS versus SCS. Outcomes of flotation tests at the different flotation scales demonstrated that hematite depression by SCS is around 3.3% higher than by SS. Based on flotation experiment outcomes, it was concluded that SCS can modify the pH of the process at ~9.5, and the plant reagents (including NaOH, Na2CO3, and SS gel) can be replaced by just SCS, which can also lead to a higher efficiency in the plant.

There are nearly 500 million tons of hematite ores carbonate-containing in Donganshang, China. However, the flotation flowsheet previously of in that area was seriously affected by the siderite. Therefore, many ores could not be processed by ordinary methods. In this study, mixed magnetic concentrate in scene was beneficiated by stepped-flotation, in which siderite was separated in first direct flotation step to eliminate its negative influence on hematite flotation, and then the high quality hematite concentrate could be obtained by second reverse flotation step. When the feed was mixed magnetic concentrate in scene with total iron grade of 42.84% and siderite content of 4.04%, an iron concentrate with iron grade of 67.84% and iron recovery of 69.47% was obtained in closed circuit of stepped-flotation.

SYNOPSIS We present three technological scenarios for the recovery of valuable components from gangue, stored in the tailings dam at Kremikovtzi metallurgical plant in Bulgaria, into marketable iron-containing pellets. In the first approach the iron concentrate was recovered through a two-stage flotation process, desliming, and magnetic separation. In the second proposed process, the iron concentrate was subjected to four sequential stages of magnetic separation coupled with selective magnetic flocculation. The third route entails the not very common practice of magnetizing roasting, followed by selective magnetic flocculation, desliming, and magnetic separation. The iron concentrate was pelletized in a laboratory-scale pelletizer. Each technology has been assessed with regard to the mass yield of iron concentrate, the iron recovery. and the iron, lead, and zinc content in order to identify the most effective route. Keywords: tailings reprocessing, magnetizing roasting, pelletization.

An iron ore contains specularite and hematite which are its main iron minerals and carbonates such as calcite which are its main gangue minerals. The ore is very apt to produce slime in the grinding process,leading to a deteriorated beneficiability. The rough iron concentrate can be obtained by using high gradient magnetic separator to discard tailings with the grinding fineness of 95% -0.074mm. Then the rough concentrate is treated by reverse flotation to produce a final concentrate with the operation recovery of 66.49% and the iron grade of 66.12%,and the total recovery of iron could reach58.70%.

A technology of “depth cleaning- sulfuric and acid producing- residuals for ironmaking” is proposed for efficient utilization of sulphur concentration with high quality. The effect of the main factors involving grinding fineness, activators, collector type and dosage was investigated. On this regard, a close-circuit flotation test scheme was proceeded, by which a high quality sulphur concentrate was obtained with 52.39% of iron grade, 86.44% of iron recovery, 39.46% of sulphur grade and 91.52% of recovery sulphur. This concentrate can be directly used in the production of sulfuric acid and preparation of iron concentrate. This technology can be used to fully utilize sulphur and produce high quality concentrate as iron-bearing feed for steel industry, which will help to extend raw material sourcing for Chinese steel industry.

AbstractCollector type and pulp pH play an important role in the lead–zinc ore flotation process. In the current study, the effect of pulp pH and the collector type parameters on the galena and sphalerite flotation from a complex lead–zinc–iron ore was investigated. The ethyl xanthate and Aero 3418 collectors were used for lead flotation and Aero 3477 and amyl xanthate for zinc flotation. It was found that maximum lead grade could be achieved by using Aero 3418 as collector at pH 8. Also, iron and zinc recoveries and grades were increased in the lead concentrate at lower pH which caused zinc recovery reduction in the zinc concentrate and decrease the lead grade concentrate. Furthermore, the results showed that the maximum zinc grade and recovery of 42.9% and 76.7% were achieved at pH 6 in the presence of Aero 3477 as collector. For both collectors at pH 5, Zinc recovery was increased around 2–3%; however, the iron recovery was also increased at this pH which reduced the zinc concentrate quality. Finally, pH 8 and pH 6 were selected as optimum pH values for lead and zinc flotation circuits, respectively.
