Beneficiation Processing of Iron ore
Beneficiation Processing of Iron ore Sinonine deeply know that most prominent ore found in world are mainly hematite and magnetite. Among these, hematite is considered to be most important. Iron ore is used in production of pig iron which is further used in production of steel other uses of iron ore are like industrial finishes, polishing compounds and sponge iron industries. Iron ore belongs to Precambrian stage and its deposit is present in massive, laminated, friable and also in powdery form. Hematite Hematite is most important iron ore mineral main source for industries. Its composition is Iron Oxide and sometimes slight amount of titanium. Its name comes from the Greek word for blood, haima, because of its reddish colour. Crystals occurs in thin plates, as well as bundles of small micaceous plates, and in thin splinters. Most commonly massive, mammilary, botryoidal, reniform, oolitic, stalactitic, and radiating. Scalenohedral and rhombohedral crystals occur, although infreq...
