In order to recycle iron in the tailings, we present a technique using magnetizing roasting process followed by magnetic separation. After analysis of chemical composition and crystalline phase, according to experimental mechanism, theccepted 4 September 2009 vailable online 11 September 2009 eywords: ron ore tailings ron recovery effects of different parameters on recovery efficiency of iron were carried out. The optimum reaction parameters were proposed as the following: ratio of coal: iron ore tailings as 1:100, roasting at 800 ?C for 30min, and milling 15min of roasted samples. With these optimum parameters, the grade of magnetic concentrate was 61.3% Fe and recovery rate of 88.2%. With this method, a great amount of iron can be reused. In addition, the microstructure and phase transformation of the process of magnetizing roastingagnetizing roasting agnetic separation were studied. . Introduction With 30 years of reform and opening up, Chinese iron a
