Hydrology of of itakpe iron ore

Itakpe iron ore deposit, with an estimated reserve of about 200 million tons was found in 1977. The deposit is embedded in the Itakpe hill, near Okene, in the north central Kogi state of Nigeria. The deposit extends approximately 3,000m in length and

Slope Stability, Itakpe Iron Ore Mine, Intersection, Critical Zone, Failure. 1. Introduction . The Itakpe iron ore deposit lies 4 kilometre south west – of Ajabanoko iron ore deposit and is located within lati-tude 8˚ and 9˚ and longitude 7˚ and 8˚. The Itakpe iron ore deposit is operated as an open pit mine and has mul-tiple benches

Itakpe iron ore deposits in Ajaokuta, Kogi State, Nigeria, is where such mining activities are going on, and has a total estimated reserve of about 182.5 million metric tonnes. It designed to treat a minimum of 24000 tonnes of ore per day while operating for 300 days per year. The waste material from the processing is approximately 64 %

Jun 19, 2020 The highest reduction value of Itakpe iron ore lump was obtained at 74.3% with corresponding temperature at 1000 ͦC at time rate of 120minutess. The (SEM) and (EDS) were used to determine the

The sample analysis shows that Itakpe iron ore is hematite-rich with atomic % of Fe to be 40.00 and weight % to be 69.94. The EDX results showed the presence of iron peak of varying intensity which was observed to have the concentrate with the highest peak of 37500 and the gangue with the least peak of 11200. Also, the presence of silicon peak

Abstract. The currently accepted genetic model for the Itakpe iron ore deposit is that of the itabirite-type originating during high-grade metamorphism. The origin of

machined iron properties and steel are enormous. In order to use Agbaja iron ore, it is 5 imperative to blend the ore with Itakpe iron ore with a reserve of about 200-300 million metric tonnes having low phosphorus (0.03%) and high silica to take care of the high phosphorus in Agbaja iron ore and also to provide large source of iron ore for sinter

Online since: April 2021 Description: This volume focuses on analyzing the physical properties and chemical composition of Itakpe iron ore mine tailings in Nigeria from the position of environmental safety and efficiency of used recovery technology of the hematite-magnetite ore. Another study evaluated the geotourism potential of Eruku City in Nigeria and its environs

The mineralogical studies of the two deposits shows that hematite is the most dominant iron mineral in the Itakpe iron ore while magnetite is the most dominant iron mineral in the Ajabanoko iron ore. Results of the ch emical composition analyses indicated that the grade of Itakpe iron ore is 36.18 % Fe while that of Ajabanoko is 34.14 % Fe

Physicochemical characteristics and heavy metal levels in water samples from five river systems in central part of Delta State, Nigeria were investigated to access the quality status of the rivers. All the watersheds selected for study were well distributed and possessed similar geology, climate, soil, and vegetation characteristics. Studies on the water samples collected from the

Itakpe iron ore deposit has a reserve of about 200 million tonnes with an average iron ore content of 36%. This has to be beneficiated at a rate of 8 million tonnes per year to produce 64% Fe concentrate as sinter material for the Ajaoukuta

Itakpe iron ore is hematite-rich, t is mineral being intergrown with magnetite, and silica is the major impurity. Agbaja ore is an acidic o61ite ore consisting of goethite and magnetite, with alumina, silica and phosphorus as major impurities. Itakpe is typical of a rich ore formed by magmatic segregation whilst Agbaja is a lean ore of

The Itakpe iron ore processing plant in Nigeria presently produces a tail sometimes containing up to 22 % iron minerals mostly natural fines in the ore and fines produced inevitably during comminution. This article analyzed the existing circuit and undertook specific recovery tests on the tailing material using simple hindered settling and

Itakpe iron ore: The topography of the region is a plateau rising gently to the north-east of Okene in the eastern, part of Kogi State, down to the river Niger. The plateau is bestrewn with scattered hills, which are made of Precambrian gneisses, and granites that overlook the surrounding by about 200m to 300m [1]. The Itakpe

The Itakpe iron ore deposit lies 4 kilometre south – west of Ajabanoko iron ore deposit and is located within latitude 8˚ and 9˚ and longitude 7˚ and 8˚. The Itakpe iron ore deposit is operated as an open pit mine and has multiple benches. The bench geometry was chosen based on the stability assessment of the slope

of Itakpe iron ore mine tailings are 71% of SiO2 and 2.62 % Al 2O 3 as shown in Table 1. The Fe (total) of 15% indicates that a sizeable amount of iron could still be further extracted as the beneficiation process improves.This shows that the recovery is not total. ore tailings is

Assessment Of Iron Ore Mining Gangues In . 2019-9-28the analysis of the itakpe iron ore in nigeria would determine whether the associated metals are commercially feasible for secondary recoveryue to these afore mentioned problems, the research was carried out using edx - xrf and xrd, analyzing five different samples which include coarse iron ore, middle fine iron ore, fine

around Itakpe (iron-ore mining area) with a statistical approach reported that, soils around Itakpe have experienced various degrees of Fe, Pb, and Ni contamination due to geologic and anthropogenic influences. Similarly, Olatunji and Olisa (2014) studied heavy metals

History. Opened. 2012. The Itakpe mine is a large iron mine located in central Nigeria in the Kogi State. Itakpe represents one of the largest iron ore reserves in Nigeria and in the world having estimated reserves of 3 billion tonnes of ore grading 32% iron metal

In conjunction with Techno-Export (TPE) of USSR, the NSDA carried out geophysical and geological investigations on different Ore Sites. The most promising deposit was located at Itakpe Hill close to Okene in Kogi State. Detailed investigation established the reserves to be about 200 million tonnes with an approximate iron (Fe) grade of 36%

Mar 17, 2015 The primary use of iron ore is in the production of iron. Most of the iron produced is then used to make steel. Steel is used to make automobiles, locomotives, ships, beams used in buildings, furniture, paper clips, tools, reinforcing rods for concrete, bicycles, and thousands of other items. It is the most-used metal by both tonnage and purpose
