Production of Direct Reduction (DR) grade iron ore typically requires energy intensive fine grinding to liberate high value iron ore from low value impurities such as silica. Iron ore concentration methods and equipment selection are key factors that determine the final product quality (% Fe and SiO2), resource recovery, energy consumption, and other major costs. Basic processing principles are reviewed along with case studies to emphasize the importance of classification equipment selection on final grind size and ore grade. Failure to account for key differences between lab and pilot scale classification equipment with full-scale equipment can lead to lower-than-expected production rates and ore grades.
