Experimental Study on Hematite Recovery from Tailings of an Iron Concentrator
In order to recycle the hematite resources in the tailings of an iron concentrator,according to the characteristics of the tailings,based on the detailed study of the ore properties,a comparative test of different beneficiation processes was carried out.The test determined that the high intensity magnetic separa-tion-regrinding-high intensity magnetic separation-flotation process was the best iron separation process.The test results show that the satisfactory iron concentrate index with iron grade of 60.01%and iron recovery of 23.62%is finally obtained under the optimum test conditions for the ore sample with iron grade of 12.62%.The effective recovery of hematite in the tailings of iron concentrator is realized.
