Limonite ore after classifier passes to high intensity magnetic separator. High iron content (+47.69%) limonite ore is moved to thickener and low iron content one to high intensity magnetic scavenger separation. the middlings are mixed with rough middlings for thickening process, while the rest ones are discharged as tailings.
After first thickening, low iron content (-47.25%) limonite ore is moved to ball mill to be grinded into finer powder (90%0.067mm). The fine ore powder is mixed with middlings after first thickening for second thickening process.
The second thickening is conducted for further upgrading of limonite iron ore. The product with iron content lower than 40.08% returns to scavenging, and the one higher than 49.04% passes to reverse flotation.
The magnetic separator consists of a large rotating drum that creates a magnetic field. Materials enter the separator and fall out through mesh at the base if they are not magnetic. Sensitive particles respond to the magnetism and cling to the sides of the container. The drums can be used in continuous processing of materials as they move along the assembly line, or in batch jobs, where a single batch is run through all at once.
