In order to comprehensively recover these valuable minerals, in a view of the valuable ore type of Baotou Steel tailing and embedded features, valuable components flow and their respective recovery coupling relationship in beneficiation flowsheet were ana- lyzed; process flows and parameters which could give consideration to four kinds of components were deter- mined. TFe, rare earth oxide （REO）, niobium and fluorite recoveries could reach 72.70 %, 81.84 %, 78.58 % and 60.18 % in low-intensity/high-intensity magnetic separa- tion, respectively. High-intensity magnetic concentration was treated by REO direct flotation; the recovery is 75.43 %, on the base of which Fe could be separated completely from Nb. The underflow was treated by reduction roasting-low-intensity magnetic separation. And the relationship between the recoveries of these valuable components was also discussed.展开更多
