Recovering Limonite by High Intensity Magnetic Separation Technology from Honghe Limonite Ore

High intensity magnetic separation tests have been carried out on the oolitic limonite ore with complex relations between limonite and gangue minerals of Honghe prefecture, and a optimal flowsheet for recover limonite from run-of-mine was adopted at last. High intensity magnetic separation flowsheet with one stage rougher, cleaner and scavenger, which have been studied respectively. Iron concentrate containing 55.18%Fe could be obtained at yield of 53.20% and recovery of Fe 68.45 % in closed circuit test.
