Benefits of Mineral Beneficiation. The benefits of mineral beneficiation or ore dressing are as follows: High volume production in lesser time. Increases the metal content of the ore. Decreases the gangue content to get the most out of the ore. It provides raw materials that support the country's infrastructure and economy.

Fine gangue material or iron ore slimes having <45%–55% Fe are discarded as reject during the ore beneficiation process.

Conventional methods of beneficiation such as gravity concentration, magnetic separation, and flotation cannot effectively increase the Cr/Fe ratio in chromite ore unless the Fe occurs in the gangue materials (Murthy et al., 2011, Nafziger, 1982) since the Fe content mainly depends on the spinel composition.

By enhancing the quality of lower-grade raw materials through beneficiation, downstream processes also become more viable. Various production routes are available to transform iron ore into liquid steel, as shown in Figure 1. The selected route depends to a large extent on the quality of the iron ore, energy source and related costs.

Poorni and Natarajan (2013) investigated the role of B. subtilis, and the adaptation of B. subtilis, in the beneficiation of a de-slimed bauxite ore. 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.
