This invention provides a
microwave roasting equipment and process flow for iron extraction from
red mud, relating to the field of
red mud iron extraction technology. It includes a fixed base frame with a
rotary kiln mounted on top. The
rotary kiln comprises a furnace shell, furnace tubes, a
discharge end
pipe, a feeding
assembly, a preheating
assembly, a retention
assembly, and a drive assembly. By incorporating the preheating and retention assemblies, this invention achieves effective preheating of the
red mud particles, reducing the
energy consumption required for
roasting. Simultaneously, the retention assembly ensures uniform
microwave action on the red mud particles, effectively improving the heating and
roasting efficiency. The combined effect significantly reduces
energy consumption during red mud roasting, and through this novel red mud iron extraction process, the iron grade of the obtained iron concentrate is greatly improved.
