The sintering process is a thermal agglomeration process, and it is accompanied by chemical reactions. In this process, a mixture of iron ore fines, flux, and coal particles is heated to about 1300 °C–1480 °C in a sinter bed. The strength and reducibility properties of iron ore sinter are obtained by liquid phase sintering. The silico …

Haque et al. analysed LCA of open pit iron ore mining and processing which comprises of drilling, blasting, loading, haulage, crushing, screening, separation, stacking, and stockpiling. The functional unit was 1 ton. The impact categories were gross energy requirements and GHG emissions. The analysis was done by Australian …
Microwave-assisted mechanical mining is a new mining method with great potential. A self-developed true triaxial system for microwave-induced fracturing and cutting of hard rocks was used to study the microwave cracking process, cracking mechanism, and its effects on subsequent cutting, grinding and mineral dissociation by taking Sishanling …
Iron ore tailings (IOT) are mining waste obtained during the beneficiation process to concentrate iron ore [9], [10]. The discharge capacity of tailings in China increases every year, accounting for more than 50% of the world's tailings discharge. The storage of IOT accounts for nearly one-third of all kinds of tailings.
Innovation plays a critical role in the mining industry as a tool to improve the efficiency of its processes, to reduce costs, but also to meet the increasing social and environmental concerns among communities …

The role of technology and innovation in enhancing resource efficiency is a recurring theme. ... (HDI) is anticipated to have a positive effect on iron ore mining efficiency, as higher human development levels often correlate with advanced …
The ore sample also contained iron carbonate (siderite and iron dolomite) and a small amount of iron sulfide. In addition, there was a small amount of iron silicate with a distribution rate of 6.03%. To further understand the composition of the minerals in the iron tailings, a mineral-phase qualitative test of the ore sample was conducted using ...
An attempt has been made in this paper to study the effect of increase in the iron ore production on various environmental parameters like air, water, soil and noise. ... 2014] IJESRT INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF …
Low-grade iron ores are finely ground and processed to recover iron-bearing minerals. However, the iron-rich powder is too fine to be used directly in blast furnaces and most direct reduction furnaces, and must be agglomerated or pelletized into a usable product called "pellets." Bentonite clay has traditionally been used as a binder to make …
The iron ore used in this study was collected from the Aswan region of Egypt. The eastern Aswan area represents the main occurrence of the Cretaceous ironstone bands of South Egypt, which are confined to clastic successions belonging to the "Nubian" sandstones or "Nubia facies" [13], [14].A representative sample was obtained …
