Concentrate dewatering: higher throughput, lower costs. Dewatering iron ore concentrates is a crucial step in enhancing their handling and transportation by removing excess water. The selection of a suitable dewatering method depends on various factors, including moisture content, particle size distribution, and downstream process requirements.
The physical properties of iron ore concentrate, such as the morphology of particles, specific surface area, and particle size distribution, have a significant effect on the quality of green pellets [16], [17], [18]. The grinding method and its associated parameters strongly affect the physical properties of the iron ore concentrate.
