(2015), roasting the waste for 20 min at 850 °C, using an additive of coke (5%; particle size of 1 mm; magnetic field intensity of 0.29 T; and roasted slag particle size of 0.074 mm), can result in a recover of 36–40% for iron ore concentrate, with an iron content of a 57% and a total iron recovery ratio of 70%.
Molybdenite particles in this sample appear to have a size limitation, particles smaller than 10.0 μm, despite being liberated, are transferred into copper concentrate or molybdenite tailings. In other words, all factors which could affect molybdenite flotation are related to the peculiar properties of molybdenite.
