(1981), concludes that low grade chromite ore of 16–25% Cr 2 O 3, of Sitampundi area of India, cannot be upgraded by using tabling and flotation techniques, to meet the metallurgical grade due to the intimate association of iron in the lattice of chromite.
Re-beneficiation of iron ore tailings from the conventional beneficiation plants The hematite ore (Fe 2 O 3) is always associated with limonite & goethite ores, which cannot be attracted by high gauss magnetic separators in the conventional beneficiation plants. Such tailings have 30-50% left-over Fe, which is a waste of natural resources.
