Abstract: In order to make full use of an iron ore resource from Henan,process mineralogy research was conducted on the ore.Results indicated that:①iron grade is 34.31%,harmful element S and P content is low,belongs to acidic oxide ferric ore,iron mineral with recycling value is magnetite and specularite, accounting for 88.63% of total iron;②magnetite exists in medium dense-sparse or scattered impregnated clothly embedded in the gangue,coarsely disseminated,most of which in 0.3~1.5 mm,graded +0.3 mm accounted for 96.79%;Specularite mainly exists in medium dense disseminated banded and sparse,scattered article impregnation strip production, mostly assumes the directional arrangement characteristic,particle size small,-0.30 mm accounted for 57.14%;Specularite monomer liberation degree is above 96% at grinding fineness -0.075 mm 90.33%;③Main gangue mineral is quartz and muscovite, and simply symbiotic with iron minerals, create a good condition for processing.Grinding-low intensity magnetic separation-high intensity magnetic separation process was recommended to recovery magnetite and specularite,the dust fine grained granular specularite recycle should be enhanced to avoid high Fe content tailings.The process mineralogy research can provide theoretical support and technical guidance for the next step of mineral processing.
