GRINDING OF IRON ORE

PURPOSE: To utilize the Considerable amount of fines that are generated in the mining operations. To convert the Iron ore fines of 10mm size to 45micron,which is suitable as pellet feed. This is achieved by means of Ball mills/Rod mills/autogenous mills, either in wet or dry process.

OPERATION OF CYCLONES
Size : Determines the slurry handling capacity Inlet Orifice : Controls the performance of cyclone in terms of inlet velocity. Vortex finder: Influences the cut point and pressure drop across the cyclone Apex : Allows the coarser fraction of slurry to flow smoothly.

OPERATION PRINCIPLE OF SPIRALS

The separation process is influenced by the primary and secondary flow in the spiral trough The primary flow is the flow of slurry due to force of gravity from top to bottom of spiral column The secondary flow pattern is radial across the trough The combination of both flows will result in particle separation in slurry with particles of different specific gravity.
