In past decades, preferences of international iron-ore trade markets have moved to lowphosphorus iron ores because of the well-known detrimental effects of phosphorus on steel and other iron-related materials, but little attention has been paid to biological dephosphorization orIron ores. In past decades, preferences of international iron-ore …
ABSTRACT Bauxite is an important mineral ore that is widely used in aluminum industry for metallurgical and refractory purposes. However bauxite contains silica as an impurity which degrades its quality. Silica forms complex with the caustic used during the processing of ore thereby forming precipitates. This leads to unnecessary wastage of caustic that …
