Beneficiation techniques of limonite Theoretically, being rich in crystal water, limonite has a low grade. The iron concentrates can hardly be reached up to 60% according to physical dressing. Meanwhile, limonite is easy to be sliming and seriously loses, which results in a lower recycling rate of iron. Currently, the most common …
The deportment of nickel in a typical limonite beneficiation run is shown in Table I. The upgrade to the primary -75 pm product is evident and the nickel losses are split between the
