Abstract
The beneficiation of cassiterite and iron minerals from tin tailings with magnetizing roasting and low-intensity magnetic separation (MR-LMS) process was studied in this work. It showed that the process was effective in recovering the tin and iron values from the refractory ore, produced a high-quality iron concentrate assaying 64.68% Fe with the recovery of 87.47% and a tin-rich middling assaying 4.10% Sn with the tin recovery of 63.55%, from the tin tailing assaying 0.20% Sn and 14.56% Fe. It has been found that the key point of the process was the step of magnetizing roasting, which converted hematite and limonite into magnetite. The separation efficiency of the process closely correlated with roasting temperature, roasting time, lignite addition, and the liberation of cassiterite with the iron minerals.
