Abstract

s. Situated in Honghe Municipality of China, a magnetite-bearing cassiterite ore deposit is characterized by iron and tin minerals association in the oxide ores. Magnetite is the main iron mineral containing fine-sized cassiterite that should be recovered. Except for the complex mineral composition, the valuable minerals are finely disseminated in the ore, a joint process of magnetic and gravity concentration was used to process the ore. Results show that, a tin concentrate and a tin middlings can be obtained in processing the tailings of Low-intensity magnetic separation (LIMS), assaying 31.76% Sn and 1.98% Sn at the recovery of 46.18% and 13.36% respectively. The results provide some valuable reference in utilization of the tailings of the ore.
