Beneficiation is any process which removes the gangue minerals from ore to produce a higher grade product and a waste stream 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 unutilized iron ore fines IOF − 10 mm 45% to < 60% Fe T left at various mine sites during blasting and processing are rich in goethetic hematite associated with high clay and considered a potential iron ore resource The variation of loss on ignition LOI from mines to mines is based on the goethite and clay mineral content The clay containing below 45 μm is

·The ratio of bastnaesite to monazite in the deposit is approximately 3 1 and REEs are recycled from iron ore processing tailings 42 43 There are three mining areas in the Bayan Obo deposit The Main Ore Body and West Ore Body were mined by Baotou Iron and Steel Group in 1957 and the West Ore Body was exploited in 2004 5
·The objective is to reduce iron oxide and silica content and enrichment of alumina in low grade ore for improvement in the quality Sampling and Characterization For the present study the representative samples of laterite and low grade bauxite were collected from bauxite deposits located in West coast and east coast deposits of India
·iron ore is expected to rise by more than 200 million tonne per year to meet the internal demand & export This additional requirement of iron ore will need beneficiation of low grade ore/fines to get the major portion of increased demand This paper deals in brief to use of available methodologies for beneficiation of iron ore in Indian context
·Mining extraction beneficiation and processing of iron ore produces iron and steel Mining is defined as removing ore material from a deposit and encompasses all activities prior to beneficiation High grade iron ores iron content greater than 62 % are simply crushed screened and shipped directly to the iron making unit blast
·Ore deposits are complex and display a high degree of variability which impact their beneficiation Automated mineralogy AMIN which includes ore characterization mineral and textural quantification grain size and mineral liberation in relation to the grinding and beneficiation is an integral part of the mineral processing industry for the understanding of
·Beneficiation of iron ore by flotation review of industrial and potential applications International International Journal of Mineral Processing 10 183 204
The effective application of extractive metallurgy to the beneficiation of ROM ore will generally involve all three sub disciplines coal and diamonds being the no table exceptions where only mineral processing is applied Figure 3 illustrates the subdivisions of extractive metallurgy The metal products resulting from the application of
·Geology deposit types and ore minerals There are more than 200 minerals that contain REE 7 8 The most common rare earth minerals are monazite and bastnäsite Figure 1a b and Table II Monazite exists as a group of arsenates phosphates and silicates but the primary REE bearing monazite is a complex phosphate 5 Bastnäsite also known as
