Current industrial practice of processing of iron ore fines in India does not involve much beneficiation. However, few plants in India are treating fines during washing, classification, and jigging process [4].

Based on the particle size, iron ores are classified as iron ore fines (<10 mm) or iron ore lump (6.3–31.5 mm); iron ore fines are first processed in a sinter plant, while lump ores can be charged into the blast furnace (BF) directly. Iron ore lump is the lowest cost iron bearing material for the BF burden.

Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be extracted. There are four main types of iron ore deposit: massive hematite, which is the most commonly mined, magnetite, titanomagnetite, and pisolitic ironstone. These ores vary in colour from dark grey, through to deep purple, rusty red and bright yellow.

The total resources of iron ore (hematite) in the state as on 1.4.2010 are estimated at 5930 million tonnes (IBM Mineral Year Book 2014) as against 3,789 million tonnes inventoried by IBM in 2005. As per the compendium of mineral resources of Orissa, Govt of Orissa (2009) the total resource was 5231 million tonnes.

iron ore is expected to rise by more than 200 million tonne per year to meet the internal demand & export. This additional requirement of iron ore will need beneficiation of low grade ore/fines to get the major portion of increased demand. This paper deals in brief to use of available methodologies for beneficiation of iron ore in Indian context.

Vale's green briquettes are produced with very flexible and low-carbon technology. Since it is an agglomerate from iron ore fines, the resulting direct-charge material has all the necessary attributes to be used directly in conventional, mature and existing ironmaking reactors such as blast furnaces and direct-reduction furnaces.

Thi s fr action is generally disca rded in Indian iron ore washing plants as . ... but some researchers have separated iron ore fines to even finer sizes down to about 150 µm (Das et al. 2007; ...

The haematite ore in South Africa is processed in a dry process to a HQ lump ore with 64 % iron content and a sintered fine ore with 63.5 % iron content. For fine ore beneficiation, wet processes are used. Capacity at the Minas Rio is to be increased from 26.5 Mta capacity to 28 Mta in the forthcoming years.

Based on reported prices for iron ore fines (62% iron content) imported into China (cost, insurance, and freight into Tianjin Port), the highest monthly average price during the first …

called hot metal. In direct reduction, iron remains in solid state and the product is the so-called direct reduced iron (DRI). Generically, the iron ore products for ironmaking can be classified as shown in Table 1 . Pellets are balls formed by rolling moist concentrates and fines iron ores of different mineral-

Insights from data help us to explore and extract our iron ore efficiently. Today, we produce five iron ore products in Western Australia – including the Pilbara Blend, the world's most recognised brand of iron ore – used …

Seven open-pit iron ore mines (each with associated concentration and pelletizing plants), and three iron metallic plants—one direct-reduced iron (DRI) plant and two hot-briquetted iron (HBI) plants— operated during the year to supply steelmaking raw materials.

The various advantages of iron ore pellets are given below. Iron ore pellet is a kind of agglomerated fines which has better tumbling index when compared with the iron ore and it can be used as a substitute for the iron ore lumps both in the BF and for DRI production. Pellets have good reducibility since they have high porosity (25 % to 30 %).
