Due to different physical and physicochemical of iron ore and gangue. It is possible to concentrate the iron ores. The iron minerals have a higher specific gravity than the gangue mineral, so in many cases gravity or centrifugal concentration is possible (fig1). The size -media of separation is for coarse particles (> 3mm) in drum or tank.
