Process Evaluation of an Iron Ore Operation Using the Floatability Component Model

Process Evaluation of an Iron Ore Operation Using the Floatability Component Model

The Brucutu iron ore mine (Minas Gerais, Brazil) is Vale‘s largest iron producing operation achieving around 21 million tons per annum. Evaluation of flotation performance is of high importance as even small gains can lead to large monetary benefits. Cell-by-cell samples of the froth products, selec...
