Iron ore magnetite processing
Iron ore magnetite processing (LIMS, MIMS, WHIMS, Davis Tubes) The increased worldwide demand for steel in recent decades has led to an increase in the exploitation of magnetite iron ore deposits as an alternative to hematite DSO ores. Magnetite concentrate is a higher-grade product than hematite and very desirable as a smelter feed.
Our Operation
Raw magnetite iron ore has a low iron content, but once it's processed into a concentrate using beneficiation, it's a high quality (65% Fe) product with low impurity levels – an ideal material for making steel pellets, which is the preferred feed in steelmaking.
