| Abstract | Due to increasing demand of iron ores in India, much emphasis is given on beneficiation low-grade iron ores with a cut-off of +52% Fe instead of the traditional cut-off grade of +58% Fe. In such an attempt we have characterized bulk low-grade iron ores from two different sectors namely, Gua area in the state of Jharkhand and iron ore mines from southern Goa. An integrated instrumental method of characterization using optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM, +EDAX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) reveal that while the Goan low-grade ores are mineralogically simple consisting primarily of martite and quartz, the ores from Jharkhand are complex consisting of hematite, goethite, clay, quartz, and gibbsite. The tenor/grade of the Goan ore is much less (~43% Fe) compared to the ore of Jharkhand which contains ~54% Fe. Alumina (Al2O3) which is the main problem in the low-grade ores of Jharkhand or generally in Eastern India is found to occur associated with clay, gibbsite and as adsorption in goethite. Textural evidences indicate that while it may be possible to remove these gangue phases from the intergranular pore spaces it will be quite difficult to liberate the intra-granular impurities that are bound within hematite and goethite in micron levels. On the contrary, these problems do not occur in the studied Goan ores where the iron-bearing phases are not chemically contaminated and are liberated well by comminution. These mineralogical studies indicate that though the Goan ores are low in Fe content, these can be beneficiated to get a higher grade (+63% Fe) with a high recovery while it will be difficult to improve the Jharkhand ores to similar grade with higher yield. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
