Selective flocculation for the recovery of iron in Kudremukh tailings

• A concentrate containing 63% iron can be obtained from tailings containing 34% iron with around 60% recovery. Caustic degraded tapioca starch is an effective agent for selective flocculation. While potato starch after caustic degradation can also be used, neither the parent starch nor the amylopectin compound is as effective.
