It is a low grade ore with 27.43 % Fe content that requires concentration to meet the specifications of blast furnace feed. The ore mainly contains magnetite, ferro-actinolite and magnesioferrite. The collected samples were classified into different size fractions after size reduction and then subjected to different gravimetric and magnetic separation methods for concentration. The results showed that particle sizes affected the concentrations to a large extend, but wet magnetic separation yielded comparably better results than gravimetric methods. A concentrate assaying 65.66 % Fe and 0.38 % K2O+Na2O was obtained with 78.11 % recovery by wet magnetic separation. It was concluded that concentrates meeting blast furnace specifications could be obtained from this low grade iron ore. It was also concluded that the proposed separation flow sheet can be applied to similar low grade iron ores in the region.}, number={1}, publisher={TMMOB Maden Mühendisleri Odası}, organization={Inonu University}
