The results indicated the liberation size for beneficiation to be below 150 micron, contains approx. 58% Fe, 2.53% SiO<sub>2</sub> and 4.30% Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> . Different process such as hydro-cyclone, spiral concentrator and WHIMS were employed in series for the beneficiation of iron. The grade was significantly increased from 57.67% Fe in feed to 63.16% Fe in concentrate. Approx. 30% of SiO<sub>2</sub> present in feed is also reduced from 2.53% to 1.77% and approx. 50% of Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> present in feed is removed.}, number={6}, journal={Journal of Mines, Metals and Fuels}, author={Patra, S. and Dash, A.
