so again, since low silicates, dont know what bene
Post# of 8054
but bene includes the process of agglomerization- the pelletizing etc process-so this may be what CWRN is referring to for the regular iron just as they specifically spoke of the pellet process re fertilizer
from memory something like 10 pellet and 16 concentration plants in the michigan- minnesota area where almost all the USA iron ore is produced-so especially since low silica in CWRN ore it seems likely some type of agglomerization to better prepare the ore for the properties required by modern iron furnaces would be in view
e.g., since sinter fines are smaller particles additional prep has to be done on them prior to the furnace
- so sinter fines are only 85% of the price of reg ore-
since CWRN acquired the trommel May 19 to separate the 200,000 tons of 0-1mm byproduct as of june 2012 into .5-1mm sinters and smaller particle fert, one might say CWRN had already started a bene process
