by Devrim Başar Han | Dec 24, 2024

Within the framework of Industry – Academy collaboration, Prof. Dr. Murat Olgaç Kangal, Prof. Dr. Alim Gül, research assistants Zeynep Üçerler, and Oğuzhan Mert Gürkan from the Department of Mineral Processing Engineering and Allmineral Aufbereitungstechnik GMBH & CO. KG A2O Mineral Technologies Industry and Trade Limited Company has been conducting various tests on iron concentration.

This research project with the title of “CONCENTRATION OF DIFFERENT IRON ORES” was conducted in Mineral Processing Laboratories of Istanbul Technical University (ITU) Faculty of Mines, Mineral Processing Department. In the scope of this project, Particle Size Distribution (PSD), comminution, sink and float, shaking table, low intensity magnetic separation and high intensity magnetic separation, flotation, sedimentation, filtration and blaine tests have been carried out on the 5 samples brought from Pakistan by ALLMINERAL. The project involves many processes and iron concentrate is obtained as a result of a series of experiments. As a result of many experiments, 3 out of 5 samples with high iron content (69.74%, 69.16%, 71.65% Fe) were obtained ready for pelletizing.

İTÜ Faculty of Mines

The Faculty of Mines was established in 1953 in Istanbul. At its first years, the faculty composed of mainly Turkish and German professors, and its program was similar to those days’ famous mining schools such as Aachen, Clausthal and Freiberg.

Today, the Faculty of Mines with five departments (Mining, Geological, Petroleum and Natural Gas, Geophysical, and Mineral Processing Engineering) and 13 sub-divisions is graduating young and proficient engineers to search, develop and produce underground sources of Turkey.
