The dynamic path of the monthly timeseries of iron ore imports is affected by many factors, and the data generation process is difficult to reflect accurately in a timeseries model. To predict China's import tonnages of iron ore, in the present work, an EMDNARNNARIMA model based on the idea of decompositionintegration is proposed.
Energy. Rock drilling, blasting, and comminution (crushing and grinding) consume a vast amount of energy in hard rock mines. As mentioned in Sect. 1, statistics from hard rock mines indicates that drilling and blasting consumes 2% and comminution does 53% of the total energy input in the whole production chain from mining to mineral processing (Spathis 2015), see Fig. 1.

Mauritanian iron ore powder (OM) has advantages of high iron grade, low aluminum content, and low loss on ignition, which can be used as a new mineral to replace low alumina limonite that has been exhausted in Australia. However, it will have a certain negative impact on sintering because of its high SiO2 content. The mechanism of SiO2 content affecting the sintering behavior was first studied ...
ore processing consists of crushing and grinding. For bulk material ( iron ore) once reconditioned, the product is stacked in stockyards and then it is transported to the port. For product types that come in various grades of quality, such as iron ore, an additional step known as product blending takes place before the product

The model parameters were calibrated for current runofmine ore and then in the simulation applied directly to the other ore. For the second ore, the simulation results vary between the different levels. This is because, at the bulk level, the model assumes minerals do not change their behaviour if ore texture or grinding fineness are changed.
The annual production scheduling of open pit mines determines an optimal sequence for annually extracting the mineralized material from the ground.

The sintering process not only improves the quality of steel products, but also releases CO and CO 2 gases, evaporates moisture, and improves the reducibility of iron ore to ensure smooth operation of the blast furnace. These factors are related with variables such as temperature and flux, so optimization is essential.

Openpit mining is a surface mining operation whereby ore, or waste, is excavated from the surface of the land. In the process of digging the surface of the land, a deeper and deeper pit is formed until the mining operation ends. It is usually suitable to determine the final shape of the pit before the mining operation starts.
