Slurry processing to produce iron concentrate

Resumo

To find metallurgical uses for slurry, its properties and its ease of enrichment are studied. A system for slurry preparation is developed so as to permit its introduction in sintering batch. Industrial research culminates in the supply of slurry to enrichment unit 5 in the ore-enrichment shop at OAO MMK in a mixture with local ore. That permits reduction in the purchase of raw materials (by 7959 t in 2015) thanks to the use of waste concentrate in sinter production.
