    Abstract
  • The badland topography of Basanputti Village, Ganjam District, Odisha, possesses red sediments. The typical red sediment deposit, on average, consists of 71.8% total heavy minerals (THM), out of which 62.1% are ilmenite. The other heavy minerals sillimanite, zircon, garnet, monazite, and pyriboles are in the order of abundance identified. In this present study, Mozley mineral separator has been used to recover THM from red sediment. Mineral separator results indicate that a product obtained contains 72.2% by weight with 94.4% THM and 95% recovery. The ilmenite concentrate recovered using dry low-intensity magnetic separator from the THM concentrate can be used in pigment industries after suitable pyrometallurgical/chemical processing methods.
