Beneficiation of Low-Grade Iron Ore Using a Dry-Roll

The beneficiation of low-grade iron ore (39.5% Fe(T) grade) using a dry-roll magnetic separator was investigated. The ore was characterized using Mineral Liberation Analysis (MLA). It was determined that the ore was composed of iron oxide (goethite and hematite), quartz, chlorite, muscovite, plagioclase, and other minerals. The effect of particle size (PS, − 1 + 0.500 mm, − …
