At Okene, Kogi State, only 250 million tons of low-grade iron ore (35%Fe cf. 65%Fe in Guinea & Brazil) have been proven at Itakpe and Ajabonoko deposits, whereas only 500 million tons are indicated at Agbaja (Kogi mine) ironstones considered of very poor quality because of deleterious admixtures of phosphorus and alumina which are very ...
However, associate elements such as sulphur and phosphorus of Jaruwa iron ore are considered to be poisonous since they are higher than the recommended benchmarks of 0.6 % and 0.04%, respectively [9,10]. The phosphorus content of Agbaja iron ore (0.32%) is also a challenge that requires better beneficiation techniques for it reduction.
After years of development, China's phosphate ore resources are becoming increasingly impoverished, the stock of phosphate ore production decline, high-grade ore resources continue to consume, the overall grade of phosphorus ore declined significantly, the difficulty of mining, there is a certain supply contradiction.
Some of the important results are summarized as follows: (a) Phosphorus content in the leached ore could be decreased to a level below the set limit. The extent of the phosphorus removal is 95%. (b) The relative content of iron in the ore has slightly increased due to the dissolution of apatite and other constituents.
The results present Muko ore as a high grade of hematite with an Fe content averaging 68%. The gangue content (SiO 2 +Al 2 O 3) of 5 of the 6 samples investigated is < 4%, which is within the tolerable limits for the dominant iron production processes, with its S and P contents being < 0.1% and 0.07% respectively. Thus, Muko iron ore can be ...
Australia's iron ore industry is undergoing a major transformation. Reserves of traditional high-grade ores are becoming depleted while the replacement ore types are lower in grade and sometimes require beneficiation to remove or minimise contaminants such as alumina, silica and phosphorus (Dukino et al., 2000).The phosphorus content of Australian iron ores …
Gas-based reduction at a slow rate to capture migration route of P from original apatite to reduced iron. A detailed statistical analysis was performed for the distribution of P and Fe. Metallic iron provides a site for gasified P, which inhibits volatilization of P …
In this study, the reducibility index, RI, for the Ug6 sample was calculated as 0.868%/min and the reduction degree, RD, as 91.28%. As sample Ug6 has the lowest content among Muko iron ore samples, it is safe to assume that the reducibility parameters of samples Ug1–5 will be higher.
Due to the abundant ooids, complex composition, fine-grained phosphorus mineral dissemination, low grade and high phosphorus content in this iron ore, it has been recognized by the global mining industry as a difficult-to-beneficiate ore. In China, high-phosphorus iron ore is known as "Ningxiang-type iron ore", which is widely distributed ...
In order to reasonably utilize the abundant resources of high-phosphorus iron ore and ilmenite in China, the technology of top-blown smelting reduction with oxygen enrichment was used to smelt the mixed ore of high-phosphorus iron and ilmenite. The effect, which is related to basicity, reduction temperature, carbon-oxygen ratio and time of ventilated oxygen to iron …
The optimal parameters were determined as a temperature of 250°C, a NaOH concentration of 16 mol/L, a liquid-to-solid ratio of 4 mL/g, and a reaction time of approximately 2 h. Around 54% of phosphorus (P), 21% of Al 2 O 3, and 61% of SiO 2 can be preliminarily removed from unroasted oolitic hematite ore. Through further dephosphorization with ...
The study aimed at investigating the chemical composition and microstructure of raw iron ore from the deposits in Muko area (south-western Uganda). ... high alumina content in iron ore and sinter leads to a viscous slag during smelting in a blast furnace. ... S and P Contents in Iron …

iron ore used in this investigation and Table 2 shows the mineralogical composition of the iron ore sample. The chemical analysis was carried out using the inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry . method performed at CETEM. The phosphorus content in . the ore sample was 346 mg/kg, corresponding to 0.0346%wt.
The high-phosphorus oolitic hematite ore is embedded with extremely fine grains, with an uneven distribution and a high content of harmful impurities. Iron oxides are intercalated with gangue minerals, which cause iron and phosphorus to be difficult to separate. High-phosphorus iron ore is a world-recognized complex refractory iron ore.
Phosphorus in high phosphorus oolitic hematite is mainly present in the fluoroapatite, and the temperature of coal-based reduction is generally above 1200 °C, in which case, the fluoroapatite is likely to be reduced together with the iron oxide, causing a large amount of P to beabsorbed into the metallic iron phase [27].In order to reduce the P content in …
Table 1 shows the results of the total chemical analysis of Muko iron ore in weight percentages. The most important elements and components of consideration in iron ores are the content of Fe, gangue (SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3) and contaminations such as P and S.
Alumina, silica, sulfur and phosphorus content in ore. Iron ores frequently contain the elements alumina, silica, sulfur, and phosphorus. The smelting process can be considerably impacted by the inclusion of even trace amounts of any of these components. ... About Muko iron deposit (Uganda), Nanfen iron ore mine (China), and Tabazimbi iron ore ...
Five hills iron ore contains over 67.0% Fe. This is considered a high-grade iron ore and can be well compared to other iron ores from the most important iron ore producing countries. The silica and alumina contents of these ores are also below 1,2 % and 1,0 % respectively, with corresponding low grades of S (<0,006 %) and P (<0,05 %).
As sample Ug6 19 has the lowest content of Fe2O3 (86.7%) among the Muko iron ore samples, it is safe to assume that the reducibility parameters of samples Ug1-5 will be better than those obtained from the tests on the Ug6 samples.
An iron content of more than 60 wt% corresponds to a high degree of iron ore (55-65%) or ore pellets (65%) 20 and makes it possible to use the resulting powder as a raw material for remelting in ...
In wrought iron phosphorus can provide some corrosion resistance. In some low alloy steels it is added to aid machinability but those are exceptions. In bloomery iron making it would most likely have been an impurity in the ore or …
The global confirmed reserves of high-phosphorus iron ore exceed 20 billion tons, mainly distributed in countries such as Algeria, China, Kazakhstan, and Nigeria.
