WhatsApp: +86 18838072829Six steps to process iron ore. 1. Screening. We recommend that you begin by screening the iron ore to separate fine particles below the crusher's CSS before the crushing stage. A static screen is used to divert the fine particles for crushing. This step prevents overloading the crusher and increases its efficiency.
WhatsApp: +86 18838072829Openpit mining is the removal of the soil from the ground, layer by layer, and this process is also known as the extraction process or mining of the ore in which the minerals need to be separated for further processing (CATAPA, 2016). The main operational areas of mining are given in Fig.
