The ore dressing production process is to convert the mined iron ore material into the iron ore concentrate. Also, in order to meet the demand of different ore concentrate products from back-end customers in the supply chain, the front-end mining production and mineral processing/dressing production should be coordinated.

Until the 1950s of the last century, the oxidized iron ores that were loaded into the blast furnace had granulometries within 10 and 120 mm. However, the depletion of high-grade iron ore sources has made necessary the utilization of concentration processes with the purpose of enriching the iron ore. Because of these processes, a fine granulometry is produced, and thus iron …
