Iron selection equipment in China in recent years has made gratifying progress, but due to the constraints of the complex types of iron ore in China and integrated beneficiation technology level is not high, China's the complex refractory iron ore resource utilization is still relatively low, and even individual mine species are substantially not utilized.

Therefore, in future we should strengthen the iron equipment selection and application of more efficient crushing and less grinding technology and equipment; strengthen the roasting efficient technology and equipment research, focusing on fine particles (powder) materials roasting technology and equipment; strengthening efficient fine grinding ore grading technology and equipment; to strengthen efficient fine-grained iron ore processing technology and equipment.

Iron selection equipment focus is to deepen the study selective flocculation (agglomerate) - the reverse flotation joint technology, equipment, and its automatic control, research Xuanye the combined process and bio-leaching process, research and efficient recovery of micro-fine high intensity magnetic separation of iron minerals machine and flotation equipment; development of suitable the efficient separation flotation reagent in iron minerals and iron silicate minerals, sulfur, phosphorus and other harmful impurities minerals and micro-fine iron ore efficient dispersants, flocculants, floating election agents. Due to the current low utilization of iron selection equipment in China and brown iron ore, most recycling or no exploitation. China's utilization of the most ore for the Anshan sedimentary-metamorphic iron ore, but also some of the ore due to disseminated particle size of fine mineral composition of the complex has not yet been effective development and utilization.

Neutral or to restore magnetic roasting a weak magnetic separation is the most original and reliable Iron Stone equipment, the processing cost is higher, but with the shortage of iron ore resources and increased the value of the research and application of the technology is gradually warming up. The massive iron ore (15-75mm) furnace roasting, powdered iron ore roasting, had been conducted, including fluidized bed furnace, rotary kiln calcination technology research, but so far have not been large-scale production practices.
