The invention discloses a method for preparing a
manganese-iron
alloy based on low-grade
manganese ore. The method comprises four processes, namely ball milling of raw materials,
pelletizing, quick reduction and
slag-
metal separation. The method comprises the following steps: mixing low-grade
manganese ore and
iron ore powder; milling the mixed ore, and screening with a 150-300 meshes screen; mixing the screen underflow with the pulverized
coal,
lime,
bentonite and water, and
pelletizing on a disc type pelletizer, wherein the
diameter of the green balls is 10-16mm;
drying the green balls at 105 DEG C for 4h; reducing the dried
pellets at 1,450-1,550 DEG C for 8-15min; and after the reaction, crushing the
raw material, and performing simple
magnetic separation to obtain granular manganese iron, wherein the manganese content is 45-70%, the
iron content is 25-45%, the carbon content is 2-5%, and the balance is impurities. According to the method disclosed by the invention, the manganese-iron
alloy is prepared by the one-step process of the quick reducing technology, the
slag and
metal are easily separated, the process is
pollution-free, the manganese
recovery rate is high, and high value-added utilization of the low-grade manganese ore is realized.
