Liberation size of the hematite and magnetite ranges from about 30 to less than 1 micron. Typical grinding fineness target to achieve silica grade in the concentrate is 80 to 90% passing 25 microns, or a P80 of approximately 20 microns. After primary grinding, the magnetite ore is first upgraded by rougher magnetic separation.
12%The "magnetite liberation ratio" was calculated as the area ratio of the yellow and blue regions, which correspond to magnetite and gangue, respectively, in the present study. The area ratio was separated into five groups, namely, <20, 20-40, 40-60, 60-80, and >80 pct, as shown in Figure 6.

However, most of the processes are basically physical (or
Some magnetite particles were incompletely liberated, and others were still intergrown. The breakage force was small when the diameter of the steel balls was 10mm and 13mm, the breakage force was law, and the breakage mode on the surface caused by grinding was mainly partial fatigue fracture.

Abstract. The analysis for magnetite or 'magnetite equivalent' by means of magnetic susceptibility is more rapid, lower in cost, and, in general, as precise as other methods of analysis.'Magnetite equivalent' analysis is affected by grain size if the individual particles are less than 40 microns in diameter, by the remnant magnetization if ...
Process of separating magnetite from ores containing the same together with locked magnetite-silicious gangue particles, free quartz, magnetic and non-magnetic iron silicates and non-magnetic iron oxides, which comprises grinding the ore to a particle size somewhat coarser than that required for complete liberation, separating the ground ...
1. Magnetite ore stage grinding-magnetic separation process The stage grinding-magnetic separation process mainly utilizes the characteristics of magnetite that can be enriched under coarse grinding conditions, and at the same time, it can discharge the characteristics of single gangue, reducing the amount of grinding in the next stage.
3. Liberation study by microscopy : The liberation of ore and gangue is achieved by size reduction (through grinding). The statistical count of interlocked grains, 'ore minerals free of gangue' (liberarated ore) and 'gangue minerals free of ore minerals' (liberarated gangue) gives the quantitative percentage of liberation.
An analysis of the technological limitations of magnetite quartzite beneficiation illustrated the imperfections of the traditional classification by size. As an alternative to size classification, separation by the degree of magnetite grain liberation can be employed. Comparative analysis of the mineral phase properties of the magnetic separation feed and its …
Thus, analysis of aggregates containing essential mineral ores—quartz, hematite, magnetite, and hydrogoethite—showed all of these mineral phases forming an intimate fusion with each other, whereby even when the fine grinding ore degree liberation is very low, which allows us to classify them as very difficult to beneficiate according to ...
The effect of HVEP pretreatment on grindability, liberation and separation performance of a magnetite ore was investigated by a systematic experimental study. The results showed that the pretreatment of high-voltage electrical pulses created some intergranular microcracks inside the ore, reduced the mechanical strength and improved liberation.
