State-owned Darkhan Metallurgy has commissioned a wet-concentrate plant, the largest in Mongolia, with capacity to process one million tons of iron ore per year, using wet magnetic separators. The commissioning of the plant is another step on the company’s way to becoming a metallurgical complex.
The plant will provide 120 workplaces and the processed wet-concentrate will act as raw material for instantly dried iron ore production. The project was executed by Hatch of Canada. It uses globally approved geomembrane technology to recycle water with more than 70 per cent efficiency.
