Characterisation and magnetic concentration of an iron ore ...
After magnetic concentration, the mass and Fe recovery are greater than 40 wt% and 64 wt%, respectively, for a magnetic field of 5465 Gauss. An increase of 20 wt% in Fe and decrease of 35 wt% in SiO 2 is seen in the obtained concentrates when compared with the magnetic concentration feed, which is deemed satisfactory for rougher operation.
