Research on the middlings from Dong Anshan iron ore by roasting-magnetic dressing

For the middlings (containing siderite) separated from Dong Anshan carbonaceous iron ore which was dressed by a two-step flotation process, using roasting-magnetic and regrinding-magnetic separation, the iron concentrate with iron grade and iron recovery of 60.31%, 87.49% was obtained. Mechanism of reduction-roasting was studied by means of XRD in the end.
