1. Introduction. Iron ores, according to the iron content and the level of impurities, can be divided into two groups. The first group is high-grade iron ores containing high iron content and low content of impurities (Беспояско, 2014).This type of ore is quickly exhausted, since it is widely used in a blast furnace process for iron …
The ore available at the time was taconite, a low-grade variety of iron ore that had been regarded as waste rock since its discovery in 1870. Chemists recognized the need to upgrade the tenor of ore. The solution implemented was to grind the ore into a fine powder, separate the magnetite with strong magnets, add a binder such as bentonite, …
