The preconcentration of bastnaesite of Beylikahir ore was achieved by attrition scrubbing of the original ore crushed to -1.65 mm. After scrubbing the sample at 50% solid pulp density for 1 h, the pulp was diluted and deslimed by cycloning. The slime (cyclone overflow) that was collected as a preconcentrate, assayed 28% REO with 72.6% recovery. The preconcentrate was fed to a Mozley multi-gravity separator (MGS) for further upgrading. As a result, a bastnaesite concentrate with 35.5% REO grade and 48% recovery (on original ore basis) was produced. Chemical analysis of the concentrate was as follows: Ce, 13.75%; La, 11.81%; Nd, 2.30%; Pr, 1%; Sm, 0.15%; Y, 0.064%. H2SO4 curing and water leaching of the preconcentrate indicated that >75% of REE could be taken into solution. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

UPGRADING VALUABLE MINERALIZATION AND REJECTING MAGNESIUM SILICATES BY PRE-CONCENTRATION OF MAFIC ORES Altun, Naci Emre; Klein, B (2014-01-01) Amenability of mafic ores to pre-concentration was investigated with respect to ore mineralization characteristics. For the pre-concentration tests seven ores from various nickel-copper operations at Sudbury, Ontario were subjected to dense medium separation. Size assays of metal values, i.e. distribution of nickel and copper with respect to size fractions, were also determined. The ores were assessed in three categories of valuable mineralization as massive pure sulphides, coarse massive sulphide grains an...
Laboratory-scale smelting of limonitic laterite ore from Central Anatolia Pournaderi, S.; KESKİNKILIÇ, ENDER; Geveci, Ahmet; Topkaya, Yavuz Ali (2017-07-01) The feasibility of ferronickel production from a low-grade limonitic laterite ore was investigated. The ore was first calcined and then prereduced in the solid state. The reduced ore was then smelted to produce ferronickel. The effects of coal addition, smelting temperature, and retention time on the process were investigated. Chemical and physical losses in the slag were separately quantified. Coal addition was the main parameter that controlled the ferronickel grade and losses in the slag. The melting poi...
EVALUATION OF LOW GRADE IRON ORE DEPOSIT IN ERZINCAN-TURKEY FOR IRON ORE PELLET CONCENTRATE PRODUCTION SİVRİKAYA, OSMAN; Arol, Ali İhsan (2012-01-01) In this study the separation possibility of gangue minerals from a low grade magnetite ore with 45% Fe from an iron ore deposit located near Erzincan-Turkey was investigated. The iron ore deposit consists of mainly magnetite mineral. Hematite is the second iron oxide found in the deposit. The gangue minerals contain mainly SiO2 and Al2O3 impurities. The main object of the research is to investigate the production of a concentrate suitable for iron ore pellet production. The concentrate for pellet production...
Determination of optimum overall slope angle for an open pit iron mine Akdağ, Selahattin; Başarır, Hakan; Department of Mining Engineering (2015) Currently, vast majority of the mineral extraction is conducted by open pit mining operations. With the improvements in mining industry, mines have become progressively deeper leading to slope stability problems. Therefore, slope stability assessment has gained more significance for geotechnical engineering. Moreover, deepening the open pit mines has revealed the necessity of designing optimized slopes with regard to the economic viability. Steepening the ultimate slope of an open pit as much as possible mi...
Acid curing and baking of bastnaesite ore and concentrate Topkaya, Yavuz Ali (1999-01-01) In this study, the hydrometallurgical evaluation of a rare earth ore as well as a concentrate obtained from this ore was done in the laboratory. For the mentioned study, a bastnaesite type rare earth ore located in Beylikahir in Turkey was used. The total rare earth oxide (REO) content of the deposit was estimated to be 1 million tons with an average concentration of 3.42% REO. The rare earths were contained in bastnaesite mineral. The other constituents of the ore were calcium fluoride (52.5%), barite (25....
