1. MLA and optical microscopy as complementary techniques to the iron ore geometallurgical studies
Abstract Mineral liberation is an important variable to be considered in the iron ore geometallurgical studies, especially since it provides information leading to the understanding of the ore’s behaviour in the beneficiation process, mainly when harder ores are concerned. Nowadays, the professionals and researchers in the mineral industry have been using

2. An alternative route to extract nickel and cobalt from non-commercial laterite ore
Abstract Laterite ores, which represent around two-thirds of nickel reserves, became an important source of nickel and cobalt metals. The objective of the present study was to investigate the efficiency of a hybrid route to extract nickel and cobalt present in a laterite ore sample which was not commercially attractive to be processed through the current rou

3. Characterization of a complex carbonate-silicate apatite ore and its concentration by a two-stage anionic flotation method
Abstract A carbonate-silicate low weathering phosphate ore from an igneous origin deposit in Southeastern Brazil presents a challenge mainly for apatite flotation from its gangue minerals, calcite and dolomite, plus the presence of phlogopite, diopside, magnetite, richterite, ilmenite, vermiculite, quartz and many other minor impurities. Recently, selectivit

4. Magnetic concentration route for recovering pellet feed fines stored in a mining dam
Abstract The greatest and noblest challenge of mining engineering for the present and the future of iron ore treatment could be considered as the pursuit of optimizing the use of mineral resources. The use of mining tailings, in the mineral sector itself, or in another industrial branch, meets the needs of circular economy as it increases the useful service

5. Rheology of mine tailings deposits for dam break analyses
Abstract This article deals with the rheology of tailings deposits related to dam break analysis. The material used was a fine tailings from iron ore processing. Geotechnical and rheological characterization of these tailings were performed. The rheological characterization consisted of rotational and oscillatory tests. It was observed that the rheological p

6. Effective density concentration in refractory gold ore for characterization purposes
Abstract This article evaluates the efficiency, benefits and limitations of pre-concentration by density separation for process mineralogy studies of low-grade gold ore. The pre-concentration by density aims to generate a product with a high content of gold and to maximize the number of gold-bearing particles characterized, thereby increasing the representat

7. Mineralogical characterization of copper lateritic ore from the Furnas deposit - Carajás, Brazil
Abstract Furnas is a small and not well-known copper sulfide deposit in the northern Carajás mineral province (Pará State, Brazil). Mineralogical and geochemical studies were performed on three weathered samples in order to verify the presence of copper in the lateritic minerals. According to these Cu-bearing minerals (malachite, e.g.), the weathered ore c

8. Mineralogical Characterization of Iron Ore Tailings from the Quadrilatero Ferrifero, Brazil, by Eletronic Quantitative Mineralogy
The mineralogical characterization studies search for the best processing route, with the lowest environmental impact, aiming to improve the use of mineral resources. The electronic quantitative mineralogy (EQM) provides quickly and accurately great information about the characteristics of these materials. This work aims to characterize iron ore tailings by

9. Determination of maximum zinc recovery of Vazante mine ore by flotation process
Abstract Nowadays, Nexa Resources (ex-Votorantim Metais) operates two zinc mines in Brazil, represented by the Vazante unit in Vazante - MG and the Morro Agudo unit in Paracatu - MG. The present study was carried out at the Vazante unit, where zinc concentrate is produced from a silicate ore called Willemite (Zn2SiO4) through froth flotation processes. The t

10. Characterization of iron ore pellets by multimodal microscopy and image analysis
Abstract A correlative approach employing optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy is proposed for the quantification of phases and pores in iron ore pellets. Combining mosaic images covering the full cross-sections of pellets, obtained with both techniques, it is possible to improve the discrimination of pores, quartz and silicates. First, the im

11. Evaluation of internal corrosion in a Brazilian iron ore slurry pipeline based on the characterization of scales and tubercles
Abstract The transport capacity of long-distance slurry pumping systems is directly related to the roughness of the pipe. In this context, corrosion plays an important role, especially when dealing with old pipes. Chemical, mineralogical and microstructural analyses were performed on materials removed from the internal surface of an iron ore slurry pipeline

12. Applying chemometrics to predict metallurgical niobium recovery in weathered ore
Abstract Niobium metallurgical recovery measures how much of the metal content in the ore is separated in the concentrate after the mineral processing stages. This information can be obtained through laboratory tests with ore samples obtained during drilling. Thereunto, representative ore samples are subjected to tests mimicking the ore concentration process
