What is the trend in iron ore beneficiation?

The trend today is towards dry iron ore beneficiation. Depending on iron content, beneficiation of iron ore for sale is a relatively simple to complex process. In Fig. 3, the typical beneficiation of the oxide iron ores magnetite and haematite are shown. Easiest to beneficiate are haematite ores (bottom part of the picture).

Why are iron ores important in China?

It also covers development of innovative beneficiation processes in China. Probably due to large national land area and multi-period orogeny, from the view of metallogeny, lots of iron deposits developed in China, and the proven total reserves of iron ores are relatively abundant, but mainly low-grade ores.

Why is the Chinese iron industry so dependent on foreign mines?

For years, the Chinese iron industry is highly dependent on the foreign mines due its quick development on economics. Presently, it is the world’s largest importer of iron ore, whose imports accounted for one-third of the world’s total. In fact, it holds abundant iron resource, although most are low grade and small.

Does China rely on foreign iron ore?

With the rapid increase in iron ore imports, there is also a growing dependence on foreign iron ore (Figure 6). From only 36% in 2002, China’s iron ore dependence on foreign countries has risen to more than 87% in 2016. In the coming years, the imported iron ore will remain at a high level.

Why are iron ore beneficiation lines being developed?

Falling prices for iron ore with lower quality than 60 % Fe have led increasingly to the design of iron ore beneficiation lines. General problems of water scarcity and risks with tailings dams have led to the focus shifting to dry beneficiation technologies. In the following article, current developments are examined and case studies referenced.

Does China have iron ore reserves?

For years, China’s iron ore reserves are far from being able to meet the requirement of rapid development of steel industry. China is the world’s largest importer of iron ore, which imports accounted for one-third of the world’s total in recent decades; however, the buyer has not the final say.
