14/03/2018 · When the iron ore is extracted from the mine, it must undergo several processing stages. Six steps to process iron ore. 1. Screening. We recommend that you begin by screening the iron ore to separate fine particles below the crusher's CSS before the crushing stage. A static screen is used to divert the fine particles for crushing.

Types of iron ore. The major rock types mined for the production of metallic iron are massive hematite, pisolitic goethite/limonite, which provide a 'highgrade' ore, and banded metasedimentary ironstone, magnetiterich metasomatite, to a much lesser degree, rocks rich in siderite, rocks rich in chamosite which provide a 'lowgrade' ore.

The Mesabi Range contributed 7075% of the total ore production. In 1965, directshipping ore contained 5161% iron, and pellets produced from quartzmagnetite BIF 6065% iron. Manganeserich iron ore (% Mn) was mined in the Cuyuna Range, contrasting with the low Mncontent of ore in the rest of the district (mostly 1% Mn; Marsden 1968 ...

The middlings produced by three processes are moved to screening process. The tailings of wet magnetic separation will be discharged directly. Grinding and fine crushing. After the second crushing, iron ore particles are moved to secondary crushing and the first ball mill grinding. With fine ore particles, it is more efficient to upgrade iron ore.
