Estimation of changes in density of iron ore concentrates under the effect of load versus height of stock piles

The article presents the results of laboratory tests on modeling the process of titanomagnetite concentrate compaction under loading. It is found that under the influence of applied loads, dispersed solid particles (concentrate) practically do not compact. The concentrate is compacted due to reduction (or complete removal) of gaseous or liquid phase from it. Removal of the liquid phase is associated with water seepage and can only occur if the compaction load (consolidation) is applied for a long time measured in months. The shortterm load effect (hours, days) leads to compaction of the concentrate owing to removal of the gaseous phase with the liquid phase remaining in the concentrate. The limit of the concentrate compaction under the short-term load effect is the complete removal of the gaseous phase and the transformation of the material from the three-phase system to the two-phase (solid– liquid). The nonlinear nature of changes in the density of the concentrate in a stock pile versus the load equivalent to the height of the overlying layer of this concentrate is established. The obtained research results allow estimating the change in the bulk density of the concentrate depending on stock pile fill, which is of great importance for making-out the process and commercial balances of a processing plant.

Keywords: density, iron ore concentrate, permeability, stock pile, load, layer height, compressibility coefficient, compaction, slump.
