For this purpose, different beneficiation techniques such as gravity and magnetic separation processes have been employed. During the …
Medium-grained hematite refers to iron ore with an embedded particle size between 0.02 and 2mm. This type of hematite is also relatively easy to select, mainly using gravity separation, magnetic separation and magnetic roasting. Fine-grained hematite refers to iron ore with an embedded particle size of less than 0.02mm. Based on the genesis …

Iron ore crushing process. In the iron ore crushing process, the feeder, first crushing, secondary crushing, screening, fine crushing and dry selection are generally used. For the sake of economy, generally the finer the ore particle size entering the dry separator, the higher the proportion of iron-bearing ore that is dry selected.
The shaft furnace is where iron ore is converted to metallic. Iron oxide, in pellet or lump form, is introduced through a proportioning hopper at the top of the shaft furnace.
