However, a huge quantity of ultra-fines iron oxides is generated both in the mines area and in the steel plant itself. Main source of generation of ultra-fines in mines area is the ore washing plant. During water washing of iron ore lump, the ultra-fines (majority is below 30m) are separated in form of slurry. This is very rich in alumina (3 ...

Feed Material The iron ore fines sample was collected from the spiral classifier overflow of a typical Iron ore beneficiation plant of Noamundi, India. diagram of the iron and steel industry in Figure 12.5-1. Coke production is discussed in detail in Section 12.2 of this publication, and more information on the handling and transport of materials is found in Chapter 13. 12.5.1.1 Sinter Production - The sintering process converts fine-sized raw materials, including iron ore, coke breeze,
