Magnetite recovery from copper tailings increases
Reprocessing magnetiterich copper (Cu) tailings prompted a concern about arsenic (As) risks in seepage water and revegetated plants at Ernest Henry Cu Mine (EHM) in North Queensland, Australia, due to the closely coupled relationship between iron (Fe) minerals and As mobility A Copper concentrate of 296% Cu and 294% Fe, with 731 % recovery copper in unoptimized laboratory batch tests Magnetite (Fe₃O₄) concentrate grading 648% Fe or (939% Fe₃O₄) Sorted mill feed material was first ground to a nominal 132µmK 80 and underwent an initial rougher separation to confirm copper recoveriesNicola Mining Announces Positive Copper And The tailings are a byproduct of the former mine’s milling operation and are rich in magnetite iron ore, Greetham found Most commercially viable deposits of magnetite ore contain between 50 and 60 per cent iron The copper mine Clean energy technology to come from ‘waste’ at
