| Abstract : Universiti Sains Malaysia |
| Iron ore from the processing plant at Kuala Lipis, Pahang, Malaysia, was
characterized using four sample types: A (waste-
cone crusher), B (ore-
cone crusher), C
(tailing), and D (concentration) to establish the most efficient and cost-
effective processing
procedures for its component ore or minerals. According to the PSD study, samples B and C
were coarse
-grained gravel. Meanwhile, sample D was categorized as fine-
grained gravel.
Optical microscopy reveals a dark grey to red granular Fe grain adhered to a quartz grain.
The red stripe grains indicate the accumulation of iron ore, such as magnetite and hematite.
SEM
-EDX resulted in the iron concentration found to be Fe
-Al-Si, while the XRD analysis
supported this mineral identification as magnetite, hematite, z
eolite, anorthite, andradite, and
quartz are present as dominant phases. Following the XRF result, there was 26.48
% Fe,
40.86
% Fe, 31.1
% Fe and 89.24
% Fe in samples A, B, C, and D, respectively. Aluminium,
silicon, and calcium are the following most abundant main elements. The Mozley table
gravity separation was used to maximize the physical extraction of iron ore only from
samples A, and C. Fe content
for samples A and C was improved by 11.10
% and 7.02
%,
respectively, using Mozley Table. |
