With the depleting reserves of high-grade iron ore in the world, froth flotation has become increasingly important to process intermediate- and low-grade iron ore in an attempt to meet the rapidly growing demand on the international market. In over half a century's practice in the iron ore industry, froth flotation has been established as an efficient method to remove impurities from iron ore.

After mining, large pieces of the ore feed are broken through crushing and/or grinding. This step creates particles that are either mostly valuable or mostly waste. Concentrating the particles of value in a form supporting separation enables the desired metal to be removed from waste products. Ore bodies often contain more than one valuable metal.

Explanation: Mining offers some jobs. But mines, when they are retired, are nonrenewable sources. Miners are happy as long as they work. When a mining operation ends, they loose their jobs (if mine is a local and limited). Most mining operations degrade environment. Dust, water pollution, air pollution, soil degradation, noise, etc. are examples.

This repeated heating and hammering process mixed oxygen with the iron oxide to produce iron, and removed the carbon from the metal. The result was nearly pure iron, easily shaped with hammers and tongs but too soft to take and keep a good edge. Because the metal was shaped, or wrought, by hammering, it came to be called wrought iron.

Crushing and grinding are the two primary comminution processes. Crushing is normally carried out on "run-of-mine" [3] ore, while grinding (normally carried out after crushing) may be conducted on dry or slurried material. In comminution, the size reduction of particles is done by three types of forces: compression, impact and attrition.
