The invention discloses a separation process of ferrous high silicate type iron ore. The process includes classifying, degrading tailings and upgrading. Tailing degrading includes S1 tailing degrading and S2 tailing degrading. The separation process has the advantages that the process is free of calcination and reverse floatation, short is process flow, low in process management requirement, low in operation cost, low in environmental pollution and suitable for industrial production; the iron grade of fine ferrous silicate type iron concentrate is increased, silicon content is lowered, the grade of fine high silicate type iron tailings is lowered, the grade of the iron concentrate is increased by about 10%, and the silicon content is lowered by about 10%; the iron ore in the tailings can be recycled effectively, the comprehensive grade of total tailings is lowered from 16.2% to about 10.53%; the separation process is environmental friendly, low in energy consumption, low in cost, high in fining and concentration degree, and capable of effectively increasing comprehensive resource utilization rate, increasing benefits, saving energy and reducing emission.
