I n recent years, the world steelmaking industry has been significantly developed. This led to a rapid increase in iron ore production and demand [1]. Iron, which is one of the most useful elements in the world, has plentiful mineral forms. The primary industrial types of iron minerals include oxides and hydroxides and carbonates. Magnetite [Fe 3 O 4 ], hematite [Fe 2 O 3 ], goethite [FeO (OH)], limonite [FeOOH×nH 2 O] and siderite [FeCO 3 ] are the most common iron minerals [2]. Most of the iron ores in the world are in the form either hematite (Fe 2 O 3) or magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) [3]. Gravity and magnetic separation methods are basic ore processing techniques for obtaining the iron concentrates [4]. Wet low and high intensity magnetic separation methods are appropriate methods to process these ores with high iron content and a high degree Article History:
