In some places reduction roasting of the low grade hematite ore is done to convert it into magnetic ore before the application of the magnetic separation method for the ore beneficiation. Another method which can be employed is the use of a dense medium in a gas-solid fluidized bed for the enrichment of iron ore.
There are two main types of hematite gravity separation methods: coarse-grain gravity separation and fine-grain gravity separation: Coarse-grain gravity separation: the geological grade of the deposit is high (about 50%), but the ore body is thin or there are many interlayers, and the waste rock is mixed in during mining to deplete the ore.For this type of ore, …

Description and properties of common iron ore minerals. Iron ore minerals are rocks or minerals that contain iron in concentrations high enough to be economically extracted. Common iron ore minerals include: Hematite (Fe2O3): Hematite is the most abundant and important iron ore mineral. It is typically steel-gray to black in color and has a metallic luster.
In the current study, elemental analysis and microscopic investigations were conducted to characterize the minerals present in an iron ore sample. The iron content was below 24%, with the dominant iron-bearing minerals being hematite and magnetite. Consequently, gravity and magnetic separation methods were employed to enhance the iron content. …
Low-grade hematite ores, on the other hand, need to be upgraded to achieve the required iron content which involves more complicated ore beneficiation processes. The level of comminution required for the low-grade hematite ore is similar to high-grade ores to deliver products of the same size specifications, lump and fines.
