Chapter - 2 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT / BACKGROUND INFORMATION

2.1 IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECT AND PROJECT PROPONENT

Vedanta Washery & Logis tic Solutions Pvt. Ltd. [here in after referred as VWLSPL] i s

incorporated with Regis trar of Companies . The company is promoted by Shri . Surya

Agrawal engaged in various businesses and having good reputation in the market, which

was gained with good business experience. Looking forward in prospects of uti l i zation of

washed coal and Beneficiated i ron ore, VWLSPL propose to install a Coal Washery & Iron

ore Beneficiation in Raigarh Dis trict of Chhattisgarh State.

2.2 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF PRODUCT

Vedanta Washery & Logistic Solutions Pvt. Ltd. proposed to establ ish 1.2 MTPA Iron Ore

beneficiation along with 4.0 MTPA wet type Coal washery at Vi l lage: Kunkuni , Tehs i l :

Khars ia, District: Raigarh, Chhattisgarh. Total land envisaged for the proposed project i s

33.87 acres a nd same is in possess ion of management.

2.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT

Need for process ing

Any ore in general, seldom occurs in i ts purity and form required by the industry and i ron

ore i s no exception to it. In many cases, presence of deleterious impuri ties l ike s i l i ca ,

a lumina, sulphur & phosphorus beyond desired l imits render the ore unsuitable for use in

i ron making (blast furnace) or adversely affects i ts productivi ty and qual i ty both.

Efficient and economic production of pig iron in blast furnace depends to a very large

extent on the input of appropriate quality of raw materials. There has been a change, over

the years in the nature of the feed particularly for i ron ore i .e., from a tota l ly lump

oriented feed to use of higher sinter & pellet in the blast furnace burden. Therefore, the

requirement of fines has gone up considerably. Hence, the emphas is on enriching the

quality of fines through techno-economically viable beneficiation process has become

more and more essentia l .

High-grade lumpy ore reserves are l imited and hence optimum uti l i sation of locked -up

va luables in sub-grade/marginal grade i ron ore resources and fines are essentia l for

survival of the Industry & growth that can be achieved only through implementation of

appropriate beneficiation technology.

In most of the i ron ore deposit of banded i ron formation (BIF), a lmost a l l the di fferent

types of i ron formations (massive, laminated, lateritic ore, blue dust etc.) are encountered

and i t is not a lways possible to mine it selectively for obvious reasons . Therefore, during

commercial exploitation, two or more types of iron formations are mixed together thereby

di luting the high-grade ore with lower grade one and vice versa. Therefore, run -of-mine

(r.o.m.) i ron ore a lso needs appropriate beneficiation in i ts tota l i ty.

The overall characterization (physical, mineralogical & chemical ) of the various types of

hematite i ron ore formations indicated that mass ive i ron ore as wel l as blue -dust

formations which are invariably very high in i ron content (Fe >65% ) at times contain

impurities of silica & a lumina beyond the required s tipulations . Therefore, i t needs

cons ideration for beneficiation for rejection of s i l i ca & a lumina.

In view of the above M/s Vedanta Washery & Logistic Solutions Pvt. Limited has proposed

establish Iron Ore Beneficiation at Vi l lage: Kunkuni , Tehs i l : Khars ia , Dis trict: Ra igarh,

Chhattisgarh.

2.4 DEMAND – SUPPLY GAP

Iron ore beneficiation plant in India

Iron ore beneficiation faci l i ties in the country are highly inadequate i .e., only 52

concentrators cater to the need for i ron ore production of about 220 MTPA (mines -316).

Of this around 50% of the concentrators are exclus ively in Goa region (production 33

MTPA; mines 72) dedicated solely for export and not meant for domestic consumption. In

most of these concentrators, beneficiation process technology i s limited to s izing, washing

and classification to meet the s ize requirement with nominal rejection of s i l i ca and

a lumina impurities. Such washing facility was basically successful on accou nt of selective

mining of medium to high-grade i ron ore at a cut-off grade of 60% Fe. However, such

practice of processing may not be of any help once low-grade ores are mined at the

threshold value i.e., 45% Fe to augment production. Major beneficiation plants in the

country are owned by M/s SAIL, NMDC, TISCO, OMC, JSW Steel Ltd, M/s V.M.Salgaoncar

Pvt. Ltd, Sesa Goa Ltd, Socedade de Fomento, Goa etc.
