An analysis is performed for the magnetization, coercive force, and chemical composition of dressing products. The use of pulsed magnetic fields made it possible to increase the content of iron in concentrate and decrease simultaneously the iron losses.

The "Abakan Ore Management" Joint-Stock Company delivers primary magnetite concentrate to the West-Siberian Metallurgical Integrated Works, where the concentration plant is absent; therefore, a poor concentrate is used, and the production efficiency decreases at the initial stage. Abakan grinding-and-concentrating plant produces primary magnetite concentrate 0-8 mm in size with an average iron and sulfur content of 48 % and up to 2.5 %, respectively. By the two-stage dry separation scheme, the tails of two size classes 0-10 and 5-20 mm form. Currently, more than 18 mln t of tails with iron mass share of 13.7 % is accumulated in tailing dump.
