In flocculation trials, corundum-adapted B. subtilis cells were able to facilitate the removal of approximately 96% of iron after 5 min interaction at pH 7 to 9.

It proposes a concept for FBD thermal beneficiation of iron ore at 400 °C using PTC with air as the working fluid, a rock-bed thermal energy storage (TES) to allow continuous operation, an FBD, and heat exchangers to recuperate heat from the dried ore and apply it for preheating. This configuration is novel and has not previously been studied.

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 …

Experimental results show that grade of iron ore fines was enhanced by 5.5% in single stage operation with reasonable yield. Experimental results indicate that SBAFS has a huge potential for iron ore fines beneficiation with the added advantage of the reduction of water consumption during the beneficiation process.

A biomining approach to process low-grade iron ores has the potential to turn closed mines or uneconomic mineral deposits into economic resources. Microorganisms and their metabolites have been commercially applied in the leaching of metals from medium- and low-grade sulfide minerals for many years. Efforts are now being directed …

Iron is one of the most common elements in Earth's crust. The primary industrial types of iron-bearing minerals include oxides and hydroxides and, to a lesser extent, carbonates: magnetite [Fe 3 O 4], hematite [Fe 2 O 3], goethite [FeO(OH)], limonite [FeO(OH) × nH 2 O] and siderite [FeCO 3].The genesis of iron ore deposits is variable, …
