"Some opportunities to increase performance of tailing thickener case study: Gol-E-Gohar iron ore beneficiation plant". International Journal of Mining and Geo-Engineering, 56, 1, 2022, 41-45. doi: 10.22059/ijmge.2021.301280.594848.
With the mining of mines and the continuous development of the iron and steel industry, iron tailings, as a kind of beneficiation waste, are also increasing in storage. Iron tailings are solid wastes discharged after extracting iron ore concentrate from iron ore.
In the beneficiation plant, the thickener is widely used in the thickening of pulp and tailings, so that the backwater can be recycled and the concentrate is dewatered before filtering. Thickeners can be widely used in the treatment of sludge, wastewater, and waste residues in metallurgy, mining, coal, chemical, building materials ...

This work describes the concentration of iron ore slimes on a pilot scale by using a 500-mm diameter flotation column and a novel collector, which renders the use of a depressant unnecessary. The pilot column was operated in series with the industrial plant Vargem Grande 2 (Iron Quadrangle, Brazil) receiving, as feed, part of the underflow …
In India, the tailings of iron ore beneficiation are dumped in slime ponds, which is a major environmental concern. In the present study, a new beneficiation circuit was designed to recover the valuable minerals from the tailing effectively. The present study involves the characterization of three different samples using chemical, particle size, …
The iron-making process requires high-quality raw materials, with Fe ≥ 64% and <2% alumina and silica each, to enhance blast furnace productivity at a given energy consumption rate.
Washing of iron ore provides three different particle size products. Coarse lump ore (+10 mm) is charged directly to the blast furnace, (−10 mm + 150 mesh size) called classifier fines, with or without beneficiation fed to sinter unit and very finer particles (-150 mesh) produces slime is discarded as waste (Fig. 2).Fig.
Indian mining industries primarily depend upon high-grade fines mainly because of two factors, one is lack of beneficiation infrastructure and high cost of low-grade fines, the second one is lack of proper tail disposal system. Due to lapses in our policies, miners get better premium by selling high-grade fines over low-grade fines. This …
The presence of slimes in the beneficiation plants of the Iron Ore Quadrangle in Brazil have increased even more, reaching almost 40 million of tons per annum. ... Sample 1 was collected on the underflow of the thickener of an industrial beneficiation plant in the Iron Quadrangle, before the disposal on tailings dam. …
Dalli - Rajhara Iron ore complex is the existing captive iron ore source of Bhilai steel Plant(BSP).It includes Dalli manual mines,Dalli mechanized mines, Jharandalli mines,Mahamaya mines, and Rajhara mechanized mines. ... Rejects of slime beneficiation plant will be disposed after pressure filtration in the form of solids (containing around 20 ...
The study here highlights the optimization of beneficiation circuit for high-grade iron ore to attain higher productivity of both Pellet Plant and Blast Furnace with …
Overview of the beneficiation process used by the Yuanjiacun iron ore concentrator, utilizing anionic reverse flotation (based on Chen, Ge and Yu 2005; Mao, Huang and Zhao 2005). Figures ...
The standard construction of Dorr thickener mechanisms is of iron and steel. The tanks are usually made of steel or wood for medium-sized machines, but in the larger sizes they are often constructed of concrete or earth or a combination of these materials. ... a number of chemical and physical factors affect the settling rate of ore particles ...
However, on one hand a good quality iron ore reserve is depleting while on the other hand steel companies require better quality of iron ore with lower gangue content due to the addition of higher capacity blast furnaces for higher productivity, lower hot metal cost, and lower CO 2 footprint for sustenance. Currently, a general practice adopted ...
The tailing of the iron ore beneficiation plant (containing 17% iron) at a mass flow rate of 300–350 t/h in slurry form with 5–8% w/v solids% is usually dewatered in two parallel thickeners (D = 55 m, H = 6.6 m). A 0.5% solution of an anionic polyacrylamide. Characterization studies
Iron ore pellets are largely characterized by inherent physical and chemical properties of the ore. Alumina and silica play important roles in determining the productivity of a Blast Furnace. On average, one percent increase in iron content improves productivity by 2% and reduces coke consumption by 1%. Therefore higher iron ore feed content to …
The beneficiation plant is designed to process less than 10 mm of low-grade iron ore fines. Low-grade fines fed to the plant are scrubbed and then classified into two …
Iron ore slimes (-45 micron ~80.0%) generated at beneficiation plant 2 assaying 46.7% Fe, 10.82% SiO 2, and 4.58% Al 2 O 3 have been subjected to various beneficiation studies like cyclone, wet high intensity magnetic separator and flotation to recover the iron bearing minerals. The effects of different operating parameters have been studied to ...
The process of enriching taconite ore involved grinding the ore to remove gangues and upgrading the iron ore (i.e., an ore beneficiation process). The resultant high grade ore is in the form of …
The depletion of high grade iron ore resources make it inevitable to utilize the existing low grade iron ores/fines/tailings with effective beneficiation to meet the present specification and demand.
Simple systems with constant feed can use flocculant pump speed control, more advanced control systems utilize a ratio controller to maintain a constant "grams per ton" dose rate. Unfortunately, fluctuations in ore type can significantly change the dosage of flocculant required and require a feedback to the "grams per ton" constant.
In this paper the bench and full-scale flocculation behavior of iron ore tailings is investigated in order to improve the dewatering performance of tailings thickeners of …
Steel Limited is 10 Mtpa integrated steel plant and re-quires nearly 25 Mtpa iron ore to produce a ton of steel. In India, Bellary-Hospet region is endowed with large reserves of good quality of iron ore. The iron ore of this region is although rich in iron content but suffers from two disadvantages. One is high alumina content in the
India possesses vast reserves of iron ore. All the ex-isting iron and steel plants in the country utilize hemati-tic ores, though a few deposits of magnetite are also being considered for utilization. Until very recently only hand-mining was employed to prepare iron ore of uniform size and composition for smooth blast-furnace operation. The ore ...
In this paper, a sample from Tange-zagh iron mine was characterized by gravity and magnetic separation methods.
