  • Patent number: 10682652
    Abstract: A system and a process for dry recovery of iron oxide fines from iron hearing compact and semicompact rocks are provided, which system and process utilize primary, secondary and tertiary crushing components for preliminarily reducing the granulometry of ores containing the iron oxide fines in compact and semicompact rocks. Dynamic air classifier components are provided for finely grinding iron oxide minerals reduced through primary, secondary and tertiary crushing, along with static air classification components arranged in series for intermediate granulometric cuts and bag filters for retaining fine fraction. The system and process further comprise magnetic rolls, for magnetic separation, arranged in cascade at a variable leaning angle and formed by at least one of high or low magnetic intensity magnets.

  • Publication number: 20180036803
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and a process for dry recovery of iron oxide fines from iron bearing compact and semicompact rocks that comprise primary (5), secondary (6) and tertiary (7, 7?) crushing means for preliminarily reducing the granulometry of ores containing the iron oxide fines in compact and semicompact rocks; means for finely grinding (10, 10?, 21) iron oxide minerals reduced through primary (5), secondary (6) and tertiary (7, 7?) crushing, provided with a dynamic air classifier (3.5, 4.6, 5.

  • Publication number: 20160318037
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a system and method for the totally dry treatment of iron-ore wastes from previous mining operations, suitable for both the processing of ore wastes deposited in barrages and wastes stored in piles. The present invention solves the problems of magnetic separation processes that employ the wet and waste-dewatering way, eliminating the risks which throwing solid wastes into retention barrages bring by a system and method wherein the moisture degree of the ore is reduced by means of a mechanical stir dryer (using natural gas to prevent contamination), which is then sorted into various fractions and finally separated magnetically, with the important difference of being an entirely dry process.
