Key Words Flaky iron ore, Classification, Dry magnetic separation, Jigging, Spiraling, hydrocyclone, Multi-gravity separation, Dry beneficiation, Wet beneficiation. INTRODUCTION Indian iron ore is generally well known for its softer nature with high clay content. It generates more fines (–10 mm size) during preparation of the ore.
Beneficiation is followed by processing activities such as smelting and refining. The beneficiation process begins with milling, which is followed by flotation for further beneficiation. At the first stage, extracted ores undergo the milling operation to produce uniformly sized particles for crushing, grinding, wet or dry concentration.
