STUDY OF THE MATERIAL IRON MANGANESE ORE COMPOSITION

Abstract

Due to the depletion of the mineral resource base and the decline in the quality of processed ores, the relevance of the search for alternative sources of precious metals becomes more obvious. Iron ore deposits are among the most important potential non-traditional sources of precious metals. The presence of precious metals is observed in iron ore deposits of almost all major industrial genetic types. At the same time, there is a problem with analytical studies of base ores and products of their enrichment. Large variety of geochemical properties and forms of gold and platinum, as well as uneven distribution of metals and their compounds in the ores practically do not allow to determine its full content by all existing analytical methods. Each of the methods is able to identify one or more of the numerous forms for finding the precious metals and to record only relative geochemical anomalies. Therefore, different methods of analysis often produce incomparable results, so an integrated approach is needed, taking into account the different forms for finding the precious metals in the ores.
