Resumo: Beneficiation of iron ore with natural moisture has become increasingly relevant, either due to restrictions on wet operations, which result in disposal of tailings in dams, or due to the possibility of ready blending of various ore types. A great difficulty in these operations is handling of hydrated ores, with the presence of clay minerals, or with a higher moisture content. Effective techniques to facilitate handling emerge as the main challenge to make it possible to treat these ores under natural moisture in different plants around the world. This work aims at presenting a method for expeditious appraisal of the flowability of cohesive ore. A sample of iron ore from Mina do Pico, Brazil, was used in this study. The flowability was investigated under different conditions, using a bench scale rectangular trough with controlled slope. The following liners were studied: ASTM A-36 carbon (CDP), ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW), Hardox, natural rubber, Arcoplate and polyurethane. UHMW resulted in the best flow efficiency and the lowest friction angle between bulk ore and the lined wall. Vibration as an ancillary agent for mechanical discharge significantly improved the flow efficiency.

Una gran dificultad en estas operaciones es el manejo de menas hidratadas, con presencia de minerales arcillosos, o con mayor contenido de humedad. Técnicas efectivas para facilitar el manipuleo emergen como el principal desafío para hacer posible el tratamiento de estas menas bajo humedad natural en diferentes plantas alrededor del mundo. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo presentar un método para la evaluación expedita de la fluidez de menas cohesivas. En este estudio se utilizó una muestra de mena de hierro de Mina do Pico, Brasil. La fluidez se investigó en diferentes condiciones, empleando un canalón (artesa) rectangular a escala de banco de pendiente controlada. Se estudiaron los siguientes revestimientos: carbono ASTM A-36 (CDP), polietileno de ultra alta masa molecular (UHMW), Hardox, caucho natural, Arcoplate y poliuretano. UHMW dio como resultado la mejor eficiencia de flujo y el ángulo de fricción más bajo entre el sólido a granel y la pared revestida. La vibración como agente auxiliar para la descarga mecánica mejoró significativamente la eficiencia del flujo.O beneficiamento do minério de ferro sob umidade natural tem se tornado cada vez mais relevante, seja pelas restrições às operações a úmido, que resultam na disposição de rejeitos em barragens, seja pela possibilidade de pronta mescla de diversos tipos de minério. Uma grande dificuldade nestas operações é o manuseio de minérios hidratados, com presença de minerais argilosos, ou com maior umidade. Técnicas eficazes para facilitar o manuseio surgem como o principal desafio para viabilizar o tratamento desses minérios sob umidade natural em diferentes usinas ao redor do mundo. Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar um método para avaliação expedita da escoabilidade de minério coesivo. Uma amostra de minério de ferro da Mina do Pico, Brasil, foi utilizada neste estudo. A escoabilidade foi investigada sob diferentes condições, empregando uma calha retangular, em escala de bancada, com declividade controlada. Foram estudados os seguintes revestimentos: carbono ASTM A-36 (CDP), polietileno de ultra-alta massa molecular (UHMW), Hardox, borracha natural, Arcoplate e poliuretano. O UHMW resultou melhor eficiência de escoamento e menor ângulo de atrito estático entre o minério a granel e a parede revestida. A vibração como agente auxiliar para descarga mecânica melhorou significativamente a eficiência do escoamento.Research, Society and Development2022-08-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2900510.33448/rsd-v11i10.29005Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 10; e232111029005Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 10; e232111029005Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 10; e2321110290052525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/29005/27935Copyright (c) 2022 Paulo César Gonçalves; José Aurélio Medeiros da Luzhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGonçalves, Paulo CésarLuz, José Aurélio Medeiros da2022-08-12T22:23:03Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/29005Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:46:12.595849Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
