Abstract:Lateritic iron ore has not been used effectively due to excess content of multiple metals. In this work, separation of aluminium from a high-aluminium lateritic iron ore was achieved by the process of 'direct reduction with sodium sulfate-magnetic separation', with a powdered direct reduced iron (DRI) produced. It is found that the presence of 12% sodium sulphate during reductive roasting significantly improves separation of iron and aluminium in magnetic separation: the total iron grade (TFe) of powdered DRI … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
