Abstract

The current structure of the concentration complex of Kovdor Ore Dressing and Processing Enterprise processes the finely-broken baddeleyte-apatite-magnetite ores of the main open pit and apatite and baddeleyte-containing sands (the stale wastes of concentration) of the technogenic deposit with the production of iron-ore, apatite and baddeleyte marketable concentrates. The period from 2003 till 2011 is characterized by the significant and quick growth of the extraction and processing capacities of mineral raw materials. This growth is caused by the favourable global market conditions and is supplied with the significant capital investments into the widening and modernization of the production.
This article describes the realized and new investment modernization projects of the concentration complex of Kovdor Ore Dressing and Processing Enterprise. The concentration technologies of natural and anthropogenic mineral raw materials are improved with the volumes increasing of ore processing and production of marketable products in concordance with the long-term development program for the enterprise.
