The beneficiation studies of Suresh et al. (1981), concludes that low grade chromite ore of 16–25% Cr2O3, of Sitampundi area of India, cannot be upgraded by using tabling and flotation techniques, to meet the metallurgical grade due to the intimate association of iron in the lattice of chromite.

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.

Iron ore is essential in steel making; however, high-grade ores have diminished, making low-grade ores inevitable. These low-grade iron ores need further beneficiation to upgrade the iron content. Currently, traditional physical and chemical methods are utilized and are not environmentally friendly. Bio-beneficiation techniques …

The current beneficiation study examines the potential for separating ultrafine low-grade iron ore materials using a circulating-type air classifier. Statistical analysis using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was implemented for optimization of the separator critical processing parameters to achieve sharp separation at a cut size as …

There are two main types of hematite gravity separation methods: coarse-grain gravity separation and fine-grain gravity separation: Coarse-grain gravity separation: the geological grade of the deposit is high (about 50%), but the ore body is thin or there are many interlayers, and the waste rock is mixed in during mining to deplete the ore.
