It is estimated that 1825% of tailings are being generated during the processing of iron ore. The major compositions of iron ore slime are hematite, goethite, quartz, alumina, mica and kaolin (Roy and Das 2008 ). The iron ore slime is discarded due to its particle size and chemical composition which are not suitable as feed to the blast furnace.

The processing of heavy minerals and coal is often carried out using spiral classifiers. Processing of iron ore to separate coarse iron oxides such as hematite from light gangue mineral, such as quartz, is carried out in circuits with several hundreds of rougher, cleaner and recleaner spirals (Bazin et al., 2014).
Beneficiation is the process where ore is reduced in size and gange separated from the ore. Since all iron ore deposits have unique mineralogy, the beneficiation process is specific to each deposit. Separation of certain minerals can be efficiently achieved by taking advantage of the physical, electrical and magnetic properties.
One such example is the iron ore sector, which involves separating large amounts of valuable iron minerals from gangue minerals. Plants processing those minerals treat many millions tons of ore every year, and most of the refinement and separation techniques used rely on bulk ore properties (density, size, magnetism) and wet processing.
Spiral concentrators are compact, costeffective and generally efficient gravity concentration separators for a wide range of applications (for example: coal, beach sands, iron ore, chromite and ...

The first section describes the setup used for the tests and the test results are analyzed in the second section.
Spirals have a wide application, they are used in iron ore processing, coal, gold, chromites, mineral sands, glass sands, and in soil cleaning. Separation on a spiral is achieved through a combination of forces that act on particles as they move down the trough of the spiral.
Results show that knowing the mineral size distributions in the spiral feed is necessary to forecast spiral performance. Further, in the case of iron ore processing, the separation process is practically complete after four turns, with wash water affecting the process rate of recovery.

Abstract Beneficiation of lowgrade ore is of critical importance in order to meet the growing demand for coal and mineral industries. But, lowgrade ores require fine grinding to obtain the desired liberation of valuable minerals. As a result, production of fine particles makes the beneficiation process difficult through conventional gravity separators. Hence, alternative beneficiation ...
