Abstract. Dry high intensity magnetic separation (DHIMS) is investigated to process a lean hematite ore. It was found the feed particle size and the drum rotation speed have significant influences ...
It is important that the strategic mine plan makes optimum use of available resources and provides continuous quality ore to drive sustainable mining and profitability. This requires the development of a wellintegrated strategy of mining options for surface and/or underground mining and their interactions. Understanding the current tools and methodologies used in the mining industry for ...
Fig. 3. (a) Reduction kinetics of hematite pellets during hydrogenbased DR at 700 °C and 900 °C (H 2 gas flow of L/min), respectively, together with the corresponding reduction kinetics of molten iron ore performed via HPR using a lean Ar10%H2 gas mixture. (b) Reduction rates of both, DR and HPR as a function of the reduction degree.
Tailoring the blast designs according to ore type and process optimization increased the throughput of all process lines. This provided the potential to shut down one of the five processing line, aligning the mine and plant capacity and significantly reducing the processing costs.

Iron ore was traditionally traded using longterm commitment (LTC) contracts. In the last decade, with the surging demand from China, a futures market was created for iron ore. In this paper, using historical information from this futures market, we focus on modeling market dynamics of Iron Fine 62% Fe—CFR Tianjin Port (China) futures contracts to determine optimal parameter values of the ...
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.
Performance Improvement in Mining. Sometimes it's difficult for organizations to see the big picture for the future or view the improvements and progress of teams. Rising costs threatened profits and strategic flexibility for a large producer of ironore pellets in North America. In response, the organization had begun an aggressive cost ...
Idiomorphic chromite is the only ore mineral appearing in economic quantities. The average content of the ore is 26% Cr 2 O 3 and the Cr/Fe ratio is The Kemi chromium mine is an openpit mine with a waste rock to ore ratio of :1. At Kemi, the ore from the mine contains 11% iron and % Cr 2 O 3.
2. Description of Iron Ore Mine The study was carried out at an iron ore mine in Central India. Due to the confidentiality agreement with the mining company, the name of the mine and name of the company were not disclosed here. These iron deposits are associated with rocks known to contain highgrade ores (hematite) and banded iron ores.
It is common in mining industry that the deposits contain multiple correlated attributes of interest. A typical example is iron ore mining, where up to six variables need to be considered in resource estimation and mine planning, namely iron (Fe), silica (SiO 2), alumina (Al 2 O 3), phosphor (P), loss on ignition (LOI) and Ochreous Goethite (GOL), and they are crosscorrelated.
or trucks) to a processing plant, where it undergoes multiple steps to create a shippable product. These steps vary with the respective raw material—for example, ore processing consists of crushing and grinding. For bulk material ( iron ore) once reconditioned, the product is stacked in stockyards and then it is transported to the port.
Direct reduction converts solid iron ore pellets into socalled direct reduced iron (DRI), using a mixture of CO and H 2 produced by reforming natural gas. Due to independence from coke and coal imports, sizeable units to meet demand, reduced investment costs, and reduced construction time [ 3 ], direct reduction units are becoming more ...
Fleet Management in Mining Transportation. Ore transportation from the mine to the plant is a relevant factor in mining operations, because it is linked to costs and productivity, as is the case of LHD machinery, which represents a big operating cost in mining activities [5, 6].The mining activity experiences multiple disadvantages and excessive resource consumption, poor and/or dangerous ...
The scheduling of openpit mine production is a largescale, mixedinteger linear programming problem that is computationally expensive. The purpose of this study is to create a computationally efficient algorithm for solving openpit production scheduling problems with uncertain geological parameters. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed research, a case study of an Indian iron ...
Hydrogen reduction of iron oxide is an endothermic reaction that requires external heat input into the system such as preheating the iron ore. When magnetite iron ore is used, it becomes oxidized in a preheat process. Based on our previous study, the raw magnetite iron ore could not be completely fluidized at the temperature range of 600800 °C.
However, the lean iron ore contains many other components which may affect the reduction of active component and make the reaction mechanism more complex. There were few literatures focusing on the properties of the lean iron ore [36]. To evaluate its performances, a Chinese lean iron ore was chosen as the potential oxygen carrier in this study.
The benefits of ore blending are extending the ore reserve base by utilization of lowgrade, minimizing the need for selective mining hence reducing mining costs and increasing mine production ...
The process of developing an iron ore mine from exploration data through to informed mining decisions provides an example of a Complex Adaptive System.
Enumeration optimization algorithm of production scheduling. Set a wide enough range of ore production capacity [q low, q up], and the optimal production capacity must be within this ...
Nothing in the above definition appears to preclude Lean's application to a minerals processing business or, indeed, to a mining operation. When Rio Tinto Aluminium (RTA) made the decision to take on Lean, we were aware that other leading aluminium businesses had successfully applied Lean techniques to mining, refining and smelting.

The estimated greenhouse gas emissions were kg CO 2 e for mining and processing 1 tonne of iron ore. The embodied energy values were 153 MJ/t ore for iron ore. The results showed that loading and hauling made the largest contributions (approximately 50%) to the total greenhouse gas emissions from the mining and processing of iron ore.
Therefore, the application of Lean in mining operations is of high importance and relevance. The novelty of this paper is defined by its scope of proposing a systematic framework to implement Lean principles in the mining industry. The proposed framework may be used by operations managers in the mining sector for effective implementation of Lean.
