Fig. 2 illustrates the iron ore beneficiation process, particularly magnetic separation, resulting in the generation of inevitable tailings. Due to the characteristics of iron ores and the conditions during beneficiation, it is inevitable that approximately 2.5–3 tons of IOTs are generated for every 1 ton of iron ore concentrate produced [7].In 2019, the global annual …
Nickel has featured in alloys (such as cupronickel, used in coins) for thousands of years, but it was recognized as a chemical element in its own right only in 1751. That was when Swedish chemist Baron Axel Frederic Cronstedt (1722–65) first isolated pure nickel from a reddish ore (mineral-containing rock

Many different mineral commodities are important to modern society. However, when mineralogists think about mining, they are generally thinking of ore minerals that are the sources of important metals, or of minerals that have specific, highly valued properties (e.g., asbestos, micas, potash, and gems of all sorts).That is what we will focus on in most of the rest of this …
A plot of the temperature dependences of the free energies of these reactions, superimposed on similar plots for the oxygen removal reactions (ref{2.4}) is called an Ellingham diagram (Figure (PageIndex{2})). For a given oxide MO to be smeltable, the temperature must be high enough that reaction (ref{2.4}) falls below that of at least one of the oxygen-consuming reactions.
Extracting copper from its ores. The method used to extract copper from its ores depends on the nature of the ore. Sulfide ores such as chalcopyrite ((CuFeS_2)) are converted to copper by a different method from silicate, carbonate or sulfate ores. Chalcopyrite (also known as copper pyrites) and similar sulfide ores are the commonest ores of ...

Wealth creation from complex/marginal ores and waste generated in mining and smelting is the key focus of Ore2Metal Inc. Every stakeholder in any mining company is likely to have a different definition of value addition, which could range from wealth creation, employment, economic growth, caring for the local environment and various societal needs.
3.6.1. Falconbridge iron ore plant. The Falconbridge iron ore plant was operated between 1955 and 1972 and processed pyrrhotite concentrate via a sulfation roast-leach process to recover Fe in the form of a hematite product and base metals (Ni, Cu, Co) as a sulfide precipitate which is subsequently smelted (Rezaei et al. Citation 2017).
The metallurgy of nickel is complicated in its details, many of which vary widely, according to the particular ore being processed. In general, the ore is transformed to dinickel trisulfide, Ni 2 S 3 (with nickel in the +3 oxidation state), which is roasted in air to give nickel oxide, NiO (+2 state), which is then reduced with carbon to obtain the metal.
For example, SEDEX deposits, literally meaning "sedimentary exhalative" are a class of ore deposit formed on the sea floor (sedimentary) by exhalation of brines into seawater (exhalative), causing chemical precipitation of ore minerals when the brine cools, mixes with sea water and loses its metal carrying capacity. Ore deposits rarely fit ...
