There is provided a method for reducing the amount of silica in a desert sand of a type that also comprises calcium carbonate, iron oxide and alumina components, to thereby produce a cement raw material feedstock, the method comprising: imparting a net negative electrical charge to a silica component and a net positive electrical charge to a calcium carbonate component of the desert sand through interparticle friction by a triboelectrostatic mechanism; and applying an electric field to the charged components of the desert sand by a triboelectrostatic mechanism; such that the negatively charged silica component is separated from a remainder of the components of the desert sand to thereby produce the cement raw material feedstock.
Systems and methods for the beneficiation of fine and very fine particles of iron ore are disclosed. The system includes a first triboelectric electrostatic belt-type separator (BSS) which receives and processes a stream of particles with a median particle size (d50) less than 75 microns to generate an iron rich concentrate. The system and method is water-free and carried out in a totally dry metallurgical route. The system also includes at least one air classification device that receives and processes a feed stream of particles to provide the stream of particles with a median particle size (d50) that is less than 75 microns. The system may also include a dryer and de-agglomeration system that receives a feed stream of particles and processes the feed stream of particles to provide the particle stream with a moisture of less than 2%.
