site for years. These dumps are generally low grade in nature and do not meet the quality norms for iron and steel making [2, 3]. Upgrading low-grade iron ores is becoming an attractive proposition today. The most commonly used beneficiation methods for iron ores are the gravity and magnetic separation techniques [4−6].
— The unutilized iron ore fines (IOF, − 10 mm, 45% to < 60% Fe(T)) left at various mine sites during blasting and processing are rich in goethetic-hematite associated with high clay and considered a potential iron ore resource. The variation of loss on ignition (LOI) from mines to mines is based on the goethite and clay mineral content. The clay …
— Bio-hydrometallurgy is a promising eco-friendly gold recovery strategy. It can be employed for use on low-grade ores and various secondary sources of precious metals, such as e-wastes (Faramarzi et al., 2020; Suzuki, 2001). The impact and efficacy of bio-oxidation on sulfidic refractory ores has been studied extensively.
