Low grade Iron Ore Beneficiation and the Process of Jigging
These techniques are used in various combinations for the beneficiation of iron ores. Iron ore is normally beneficiated utilizing the principles applied in separation of the materials by the gravity, floatation, and magnetic methods. Enrichment of ores utilizing the gravity concentration method is one of the oldest and most economic techniques.

Concentration of Ores
Impurities such as SiO 2, iron oxides, and titanium oxide (TiO 2) are common. Heating the powdered ore with a concentrated solution of NaOH at 473–523 K and 35–36 bar pressure is used to concentrate it. Digestion is the term for this procedure. Al 2 O 3 is extracted as sodium aluminate in this manner.
