Abstract
Wet separation of the primary Siberian iron-ore concentrates processed at Abagursk enrichment facility (OAO Evrazruda) is studied in the laboratory. Nine samples of concentrates (−0.07 mm class) from magnetite ore and weakly oxidized ore are subjected to wet magnetic analysis in a field of 80 kA/m. The basic magnetic characteristics of the initial concentrates and the products obtained on separation are measured. The yield of magnetic product is greatest for magnetite ores: more than 68% (Abakan), as compared to 43–45% for weakly oxidized ore. Thus, the yield of magnetic product falls with decrease in magnetite content in the initial material. The following practical recommendations are offered: (1) it is expedient to enrich weakly oxidized ore after mixing with magnetite ore, so as to reduce the loss of iron with the tailings; (2) the magnetic systems of PBM 90/250 separators must be reconstructed, with the introduction of stronger magnets.
