Chromite ore processing residues (COPR) are hazardous industrial wastes which have been disposed in surface soils at many commercial and industrial sites in the USA, UK, China, Japan, India and in many other countries (Dhal et al., 2013).One of the biggest threats of COPR to the environment is the release of …
The iron ore processing industry produces usable concentrations of iron-bearing material by removing nonferrous rock (gangue) from low-grade ore. In the United States, predominant iron ore is taconite which is a hard, banded, low-grade ore. Ninety-nine percent of the crude iron ore produced in the United States is taconite.
The ore is always mixed with unwanted or valueless rocks and minerals that are collectively known as gangue. Generally, the ore and the gangue are mined together—i.e., taken out of the host rock in a mass by either mechanical or manual means.
We investigated a method for delivering ferrous iron into the subsurface to enhance chemical reduction of Cr(VI) in chromite ore processing solid waste (COPSW) derived from the production of ferrochrome alloy. The COPSW is characterized by high pH (8.5−11.5) and high Cr(VI) concentrations in the solid phase (up to 550 mg kg-1) and …
The Ore Preparation Plant (OPP) is the first step within any Bitumen Production facility where mined oil sands is loosely crushed and mixed with hot/warm water to form a slurry that can be pumped to the main processing plant. OPPs are divided into two sections: a dry side, where the oil sands is c.

HL is an industrial process, and ore is left for steady-state operation at ambient temperature. The process has low recovery, with ~ 68–71% nickel extraction. ... Chen J, Halim MA, Roy R, Extraction of nickel, cobalt and iron from laterite ores by mixed chloride leach process, InNi-Co 2013, Springer, Cham (2013) 97-106.
Lab-scale experiments results show that the new process contributed to the flotation of the complex mixed sulfide-oxide lead and zinc ore regarding two aspects: (1) High alkaline process (pH=12± ...
The partially reduced ore is then smelted in the second unit, and liquid iron is produced. Smelting-reduction technology enables a wide range of coals to be used for iron making. Iron processing - Ores, Smelting, Refining: Iron ores occur in igneous, metamorphic (transformed), or sedimentary rocks in a variety of geologic environments.
Nickel processing - Extraction, Refining, Alloying: The extraction of nickel from ore follows much the same route as copper, and indeed, in a number of cases, similar processes and equipment are used. ... In this process, the ore is mixed with special reagents and agitated by mechanical and pneumatic devices that produce air bubbles. As these ...
This process increases the surface area of the ore, allowing for better contact between the ore and the chemicals used in the subsequent steps. Flotation: The powdered ore is mixed with water and ...
Chromite ore processing residue (COPR) keeps releasing Cr (VI) over time, and the mixing of residual COPR into soil makes the remediation of COPR …

Technol. 2005, 39, 6208-6216 Treatment of Hexavalent Chromium in Chromite Ore Processing Solid Waste Using a Mixed Reductant Solution of Ferrous Sulfate and Sodium Dithionite CHUNMING SU* AND RALPH D. LUDWIG Ground Water and Ecosystems Restoration Division, National Risk Management Research Laboratory, …
In recent times, a low copper content in ores has been observed (ores containing 0.2–0.3% copper are used for processing in Canada and the United States, and ores containing at least 0.4% copper are used in Russia []) owing to the exhaustion of rich copper resources.The flowsheet of processing copper ores is developed for each …
Magnetic separation is the process of using electromagnets to extract the desired mineral ore from a conveyor belt. This process can be used with or without water. 4. Dewatering. Dewatering is the final process of removing the water content of the mineral in order to dispose of the gangue and reach the desired concentrate levels for marketability.
The color of reduced Cr(Ⅵ)-contaminated soil and chromite ore processing residue (COPR) turned to yellow again due to the Cr(Ⅵ) incomplete reduction has gained wide attention. It is urgent to develop remediation techniques for complete Cr(Ⅵ) reduction.
Results show that for the tested ore it is possible to produce mixed TREE oxide or a mixed LREE oxide and a mixed SEG-HREE oxide products assuming that refineries can be found for these various products. With the economic value of these products being unknown, it is not possible to decide the optimum processing option for …
Safe management and disposal of chromite ore processing residue (COPR) is an unsolved global problem.
