the effective utilization' of low-grade finely disseminated ores that are abundantly available.The utilization of such reserves' may help to.Maintain anadequate supply of minerals to meet economic and strategic needs of our country. Since the yield of low-grade ores is low,escalation in input cost is inevitable.
Low grade iron ores containing lower iron content need beneficiation activities other than crushing, screening and washing for increasing their iron content. To be competitive, iron ore mining need to be done on a very large scale.
It was found that microwave exposure provides significant enrichment to the low-grade iron ore and can be used as a pretreatment step in the beneficiation of similar low-grade iron ores. The above study reveals that hematite phase is susceptible to microwave exposure which enhances the separation of iron values from impurities.
These low-grade iron ores need further beneficiation to upgrade the iron content. Currently, traditional physical and chemical methods are utilized and are not …
A committee set up by the Union Ministry of Mines has recommended steps for beneficiation and upgradation of low-grade iron ore into higher grade ones.
