An iron ore industry source in Singapore has doubts about India being a sustainable long-term supplier of high-grade iron ore. "There are costs involved in this. For example, new capital expenditure to set up beneficiation and concentration plants, so it's not likely that every miner will be able to do it," he said.
In general, iron ore beneficiation is done at the mining site. The concentrated iron ore is subsequently sintered or pelletized, depending on the grain size distribution, before it is charged to an ironmaking plant. In cases where after the initial processing steps the iron ore fractions are of inferior quality (too fine or low iron content ...
What is iron ore beneficiation? Iron ore is an important raw material for steel production enterprises. In most cases, iron ore with a grade of less than 50% requires ore beneficiation before smelting and utilization. Natural ore (iron ore) is gradually selected for iron through procedures such as crushing, grinding, magnetic separation ...

Beneficiation may involve physical or chemical processes. Often, as in the case of panning for gold, the desired ore or metal is denser than the gangue. The latter can be suspended in a stream of water and flushed away. The iron ore magnetite, Fe 3 O 4, is ferrimagnetic. It can be separated from abundant deposits of taconite by grinding to a ...
Fine gangue material or iron ore slimes having <45%–55% Fe are discarded as reject during the ore beneficiation process.
