Dry Magnetic Separation of Iron Ore of the Bakchar Deposit

Abstract

Currently, the development of iron ore of the Bakchar deposit (Tomsk region) is considered promising because of the extremely large reserves of iron ore. Ores of this deposit are related to the high-grade type and expected to have a magnetic concentration for iron extraction. The main task of magnetic separation is to increase the total iron content in concentrates to a value which allows its further metallurgical processing. Ferruginous ore particles have a rounded shape that facilitates a separation process. The paper considers the influence of technological parameters on the magnetic concentrate yield and recovery rate of iron-containing fractions.
