Magnetic Separation to Recover Iron Minerals from Flotation Tailings

Abstract:

Large amount of surrounding rocks in Jianshui China has been discarded for many years, and the “rock” is characterized by Cu-Fe poly-metallic constituents and of low grade. A joint process of flotation and magnetic separation was proposed to process the ore. This paper introduces the test results of flotation tailings by a wet drum separator. Results show that iron concentrate assaying 60.21-68.12% Fe at a recovery of 71.9-75.32% can be obtained, when the flotation tailings assays 33.91%Fe. At the same time, a joint process has put forward to make full utilize the “rock”.
