Abstract. Beneficiation of −2 mm low-grade iron ore tailings (50·7%Fe, 10·8%SiO 2 and 4·4%Al 2 O 3) from Western Australia was studied.The sample consisted of hydrohaematite, goethite and quartz, with lesser kaolinite and shale.

In the Indian context, BHQ iron ore typically consists of around 35–48 wt% of total iron content, i.e., Fe (T) alongside 40–45 wt% of SiO 2, and 0.5–2.5 wt% of Al 2 O 3 [4]. Due to the complex nature and low Fe content of BHQ, the separation of iron values from gangue impurities using conventional physical processes is very challenging.
