Rio Tinto Iron ore processing plants in the Pilbara region of Western Australia do not involve any chemical treatment. Flow sheets for the Brockman 2 (8.7 MTpa) and Mount Tom Price (28 MTpa) processing plants are given in Figs. 8.4 and 8.5 (Kinnel, 2013). The flow sheets are relatively simple.

Dry processing of iron ore: In dry processing of iron ore, ROM is generally crushed below 40 mm through three-stage crushing and thus segregated by screening into 10–40 and −10 mm fractions. For softer ore, tumbler index is generally low and hence lump ore is crushed below 10 mm to produce fine product. Yield from the plants has …
