ABSTRACT
The effectiveness of jigging operation for the beneficiation of low-grade iron ore deposits of Orissa, India has been investigated. Iron ore sample obtained from Barbil region of Orissa containing very high amount of silica and alumina was crushed using the laboratory jaw crusher and roll crusher to prepare different particle sizes. The sink and float tests were carried out to evaluate the possible response of the sample by gravity concentration technique. The samples were subjected to jigging in a laboratory Denver mineral jig and Harz jig. The operating variables used to determine the effectiveness of jigging include, particle size, velocity of water and amplitude. Recovery of iron values and the separation efficiency were assessed by determining mineralogy and the percentages of Fe in the jig concentrate and tailings by wet chemical and X-ray floroscence (XRF) techniques. Optimum iron ore recovery of 78.6% was achieved with 63.7% Fe in concentrate when the jig was operated at medium stroke, with an average water velocity and at a particle size of below 5 mm. The results are very close to theoretical results obtained by sink and float studies.

Does Immigration Promote the Investment of the Monopolistic Firm?

In the present paper, we examine the effect of increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth on the optimal timing of investment of a firm that has a monopolistic power over the labor market. It is revealed that when the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is more than a threshold level, increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth accelerates the optimal timing of firms’ investment and enhances the economic growth, even if the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is formulated by the geometric Brownian motion, which is in sharp contrast to the standard result that an increase in the uncertainty postpones the optimal timing. With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...

Education Policy Implementation: A Mechanism for Enhancing Primary Education Development in Zanzibar

Education is one of the fundamental rights of individuals; therefore, the government of a country needs to develop and strengthen educational policy and quality as well as to ensure that everyone has equal access to basic education. The improvement of access and quality of education in the world is becoming as an essential factor in development, whereas the basic education (primary school), is acknowledged as a foundation of the higher educational development for every country. To fulfill this goal, governments introduce several policies and procedures; however, it requires some reforms and participation from the politician, policymakers, and other stakeholders to re-examine educational policy so that it can lead to multiplication and betterment of the reforms. Educational reforms actually focus on accountability. A positive educational development and reform is very challenging and needs more effort and strategy on how to use and utilize the resources effectively as such it can achie...
