Removal of gangue components from low-grade iron ore …
The gangue in iron ore is removed by hydrothermal treatment to obtain the high-grade iron ore. • Removal extents of 10–91% for Si, 39–70-% for Al, and 38–76% for P are achieved by the treatment. • The FeOOH in iron ore changed to Fe 2 O 3 during hydrothermal treatment.
