Iron Ore: Mineralogy, Processing and Environmental Issues summarizes recent, key research on the characterization of iron ores, including important topics such as beneficiation (separation and refining), agglomeration (e.g., production of pellets or powders), blast furnace technology for smelting, and environmental issues relating to its production. The text is an ideal reference on the topic during a time when iron ore production has increased significantly, driven by increasing demand from countries such as India and China. Provides a comprehensive overview of the global iron ore industry, exploring its characteristics and characterizationExpert analysis of quality requirements for iron production, iron ore agglomeration technologies, environmental issues, and low-emission technologiesTimely text to accompany the increased iron ore production occurring in developing countries like India and China INDICE: 1 Introduction: overview of the global iron ore industry Ralph Holmes* and Liming Lu Part I Characterisation and analysis of iron ore 2 Mineralogical, chemical and physical characteristics of iron ore John Clout* and James Manuel 3 XRD analysis and evaluation of iron ores and sinters John De Villiers* and Liming Lu 4 Automated optical image analysis of natural and sintered iron ore Eugene Donskoi*, James Manuel and Andrei Poliakov 5 Quantitative analysis of iron ore using SEM based technologies Igor Tonzetic 6 Characterisation of iron ore by visible and infrared reflectance and raman spectroscopies Erick Ramanaidou, Martin Wells, Ian Lau and Carsten Laukamp Part II Extraction, comminution,separation and beneficiation of iron ore 7 Iron ore extraction techniques Rod Stace 8 Developments in iron ore comminution and classification technologies Alex Jankovic 9 Developments in the physical separation of iron ore: magnetic separation Dahe Xiong*, Liming Lu and Ralph Holmes 10 Developments in non-magnetic physical separation technologies for hematitic/goethitic iron ore Elardus Maré*, Billie-Jo Bevan and Carl Crisafio 11 Developments in physicochemical separation of iron ore Warren Bruckard*, Leanne Smith and Graeme Heyes 12 Developments in chemical separation of iron ore Graham Sparrow*, Michael Fisher-White and Roy Lovel 13 Application of biotechnology in iron ore beneficiation Suzy Rea*, Naomi McSweeney, Rebecca Dwyer and Warren Bruckard Part III Iron ore agglomeration processes and blast furnace iron-making technology 14 Iron ore sintering Liming Lu* and Osamu Ishiyama 15 Developments in iron ore pelletising Deqing Zhu*, Jian Pan, Liming Lu and Ralph Holmes 16 Quality requirements of iron ore for iron production Liming Lu*, Jian Pan and Ralph Holmes 17 Recent developments in blast furnace iron-making technology Alexander Babich* and Dieter Senk Part IV Environmental issues and low emission technologies 18 Sintering emissions and their mitigation technologies Liming Lu* and Tze Chean Ooi 19 Utilisation of biomass as an alternative fuel in ironmaking John Mathieson*, Michael Somerville, Alex Deev and Sharif Jahanshahi 20 Life cycle assessment of iron ore mining and processing Narshad Haque* and Terry Norgate
