This paper presents the size recovery curves of valuable and gangue minerals in industrial roughing, cleaning and recleaning spirals of two iron ore processing plants. The paper consists of two sections. The first section describes the operation of a spiral concentrator and recalls the concept of mineral size recovery curves.

The mineralogical studies showed that hematite and goethite are the main ironbearing minerals with insignificant amounts of FeO. The results indicated that spiral separation yields higher separation efficiency than others. The combination of spiral and multi gravity methods showed ...

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.
