Concentrates were taken at specified time intervals to check for changes in flotation kinetics under different milling conditions. The flotation kinetics were evaluated with the rate constant of the first-order kinetic model. Water recoveries through rougher flotation test were also determined to realize the degree of entrainment. Table 1.

Comminution will require rock size reduction by crushing and grinding. Size classification will require screening, de-sliming and cycloning. In the case of a lower-grade iron ore, the beneficiation process includes activities such as crushing, milling, gravity or heavy media separation, screening and silica froth flotation.

The SABC circuit design is to accept minus 8″ run of mine ore from a 12,000 ton silo. Two Forano pan feeders discharge from the silo onto a 48″ belt which feeds the 32′ x 13.5′ mill. The mill is powered by two 5500 hp D.C. motors. Nominal mill speed is 10.7 r.p.m. (78% critical) with a top speed of 11.3 r.p.m.
