Type 1 (T1), a quartz-magnetite ore that is generally low grade (TFe <30 wt%) and hosted in the IF and meta-sedimentary rock (biotite-quartz schist and amphibolite schist). It is characterized by banded structures (Fig. 3 A) that are parallel to the original sedimentary stratification, and a lack of wall rock alteration.
The studied BIF ore samples have a narrow range of TFe between 30.90 wt.% and 43.20 wt.%, indicating a low-grade ore. The geochemical signatures of magnetite such as low contents of base metals (e.g., Cu, Co, V, and Zn) and low Co/Zn ratios < 0.85 indicate a hydrothermal origin.
The possibility of upgrading low grade Manganese ore using gravity and magnetic separation technique was investigated from Wasagu/Danko Local Government Area of Kebbi State, North Western Nigeria. Shaking table gave a concentrate of 48.89 %Mn, spiral concentrator gave a concentrate of 49.34 %Mn while magnetic separation gave a …
Microwave-assisted magnetizing roasts were used to produce an iron ore product from low-grade, goethite-dominant, iron ore plant rejects. Goethite was found to …
The relation between the magnetic separation behavior and magnetic properties of a low-grade manganese ore was analyzed before and after treatment by direct reduction with coal. It was found that raw ore with an initial average grade of 10.39% Mn and consisting of diamagnetic and paramagnetic minerals can be concentrated by …

Current magnetite production is a by-product of the copper operations and as such is recovered from the Concentrator floatation tails stream by magnetic separation. Approximately 15%, by weight, of magnetite is removed by 'cleaning' and 're-cleaning' of the magnetic concentrate from the first stage. ... Iron ore - coarse grade. Iron (Fe): 65% ...
A large-scale magnetite deposit containing scandium oxide is located in Yunnan province of China. The reserves of scandium oxide in the deposit are estimated to be > 40,000 tons. With the aid of EDS analysis and polarizing microscopy, samples of the ore were examined, and the different types of minerals containing scandium were …
Microwave-assisted magnetizing roasts were used to produce an iron ore product from low-grade, goethite-dominant, iron ore plant rejects. Goethite was found to be converted to hematite at temperatures above 370 °C on reduction in a microwave furnace under gas mixtures of 30:70 and 40:60 CO/CO 2. Reduction to magnetite occurred at …
An iron ore is said to be of high grade when its Fe content is more than 65 wt.%, low grade when its Fe content is less than 58 wt.%, and medium grade when its Fe content is between 58 wt.% and 64 ...
This feature becomes prominent in the low-grade magnetite samples and both Co and Ni progressively develop into significant negative anomalies with respect to V in the highest-grade ore samples. Ni exhibits this depletion trend in all samples, but some samples show only minor depletion in Co, even within high-grade Cu zones.

How is magnetite processed? As magnetite ore has lower iron content it must be upgraded to make it suitable for steelmaking. Magnetite requires crushing, screening, grinding, magnetic separation, filtering and drying. The final product is a high iron grade magnetite concentrate (+65% Fe), with typically very low impurities.
