The granulation efficiency is a strong function of the moisture available for granulation, which is the total moisture less the moisture absorbed and stored in the pores. The amount of moisture absorbed during granulation was found to vary widely with ore type (Furui et al., 1977; Litster and Waters, 1988). The CSIRO moisture saturation ...
After beneficiation, the rejected portion of the iron ore may include coarse and fine particulates in the wash water, and these particulates may form a slurry known as wet tailings. The physical and chemical nature of such wet tailing from beneficiation plants depends on the ore type and beneficiation process used.
