1 depicts the oxide composition of Iron ore tailings obtained from some countries of the world as reported by Oritola et al., (2015). Vale et al., (2013), in their study of mineral composition of 19 Iron ore tailings pond, found out that, Iron ore tailings from different origins; do not have the same geotechnical behaviour. Iron ore
Hematite (Fe2O4) to magnetite (Fe3O4) conversion of Fe‑ore tailings In many cases, the Fe-ore tailings are dumped as overburden from the Fe ore mining and production industries due to the high production growth in the Fe and steel industries in Africa. Itakpe Fe ore in Nigeria produces about 36% ore on average from 200 million tons.

on determination of economic liberation and mineralogical characterization of the Itakpe iron ore deposit and to suggest effective processing method for the deposit. 2. Materials and Methods 2.1 Ore sourcing and preparation Iron ore used for this investigation was sourced from Itakpe iron ore deposit on Longitude 6°18'35" E and Latitude
The output of the physical properties, oxide composition and sieve analysis of Itakpe iron ore tailings reveals that it has similar properties which are close in comparison to that of natural sand. This suggest that Itakpe iron ore tailings can be used to partially or fully replace natural sand in concrete, mortar and some other construction ...
Iron ore tailings were also used in other concrete applications. For example, Das et al. [13] studied the use of IOT to develop ceramic tiles and their study showed, that tiles produced at a maximum of 40% of IOT were superior in terms of scratch hardness and strength, compared to European standard specifications. In a related research, Yao et al. [14] produced …
IJESC, 2019. Iron Ore Tailings (IOT) are the waste slag resulted from iron ore mines. Large amount of Iron Ore Tailings (IOT) have been generating every year posing serious environmental problems, large production of cement everyday resulting the emission of CO 2 and increase in the consumption of river sand for construction activities making the river beds over …
Iron ore tailings (IOT), as one of the main mining wastes, is produced after multiple crushing and magnetic separation on iron ore [15].In China, stored IOT has reached 5 billion tons and is growing steadily at a rate of over 0.3 billion tons per year, whereas only 20 % of them has been reused [16].IOT that have not been effectively utilized are often stored in …

The analysis of iron ore tailings from the Itakpe iron ore deposit in Nigeria would typically involve a range of tests to determine various properties and characteristics of the tailings. These tests provide valuable information for understanding the composition and behavior of the tailings, as well as for potential utilization or disposal options.
Therefore, the crude sample of Itakpe Iron Ore dumped tailings is a haematite rich mineral and has been found to be coarsely packed and interlocked with magnetite and silica with silica as major impurity. However, easy liberation was facilitated by communition due to the coarsely packed nature of ore matrix.
