Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of mining engineering, and in particular relates to a new method for preparing super iron concentrate from Barun iron concentrate. Background Art
[0002] Super iron concentrate is a new type of functional industrial mineral material with great development potential. It has great application value and market potential in the fields of powder metallurgy, magnetic materials, electronics, chemical industry and environmental protection. Super iron concentrate is mainly divided into two categories: magnetite concentrate with TFe grade>69% and impurity content such as SiO2 less than 3%, which is mainly used in the production of sponge iron; magnetite concentrate with TFe grade>71.5% and significantly lower impurity content such as SiO2, which is mainly used in powder metallurgy, magnetic material production and other fields. Super iron concentrate is the raw material for the production of high value-added materials, which is in line with national industrial policies and market demand, and its sales price is rising year by year.
[0003] The Bayan Obo Mine is a large-scale polymetallic ore deposit with coexistence of iron, rare earth, niobium, etc. It is currently mainly used as ordinary iron concentrate for steel production, and the utilization rate of valuable elements other than rare earth is not high. The production of super iron concentrate is one of the effective ways to improve the economic benefits of enterprises and promote the upgrading of mineral processing products. Compared with ordinary iron concentrate, super iron concentrate (TFe grade ≥ 72%, SiO2 content < 0.25%, Fe3O4 purity > 98.5%), in addition to its own price increase of 4 to 5 times, can also be used as a high-quality raw material for powder metallurgy, magnetic materials, direct reduced iron and clean steel production, especially the Bayan Obo Mine, which contains elements such as RE and Nb. The steel products and ceramic materials prepared with it show super wear resistance. The production of super iron concentrate has emerged in recent years with the development of the metallurgical industry. In order to seek the economic growth point of the enterprise, an experimental study was conducted on the production of super iron concentrate from ordinary iron concentrate in an iron mine in Linyi.
[0004] Experimental study on the production of super iron concentrate in an iron mine in Linyi
[0005] Through experimental research, the process flow and optimal process conditions for preparing super iron concentrate in an iron ore in Linyi were determined: 1) The test research on grinding-weak magnetic separation-concentration, pre-tailings-concentrate regrinding-magnetic separation-concentration, pre-tailings-stage grinding stage selection, pre-tailings-stage grinding stage selection-reverse flotation was carried out for ordinary iron concentrate in an iron ore in Linyi. The test results show that the selection process of pre-tailings-stage grinding stage selection-reverse flotation is more suitable. It was determined that under the conditions of the first-stage grinding fineness of -0.043mm / 98.68%, the second-stage grinding fineness of -0.030mm / 92.05%, and the amount of collector YS-3 of 200g / t, super iron concentrate with a grade of 71.88%, 0.19% acid insoluble matter, and 0.30% silicon dioxide can be obtained.
[0006] Experiment on flotation desiliconization activation of Bayan Obo iron concentrate to prepare super iron concentrate
[0007] Taking the iron concentrate of Bayan Obo Mine as raw material, the reverse flotation desiliconization condition test was carried out. The test results showed that under the optimal test conditions of roughing, pH value was 8, the amount of collector sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was 200g / t, and the amount of Ca2++Fe3+ composite activator was 400g / t, an iron concentrate with an iron grade of 72.05%, an iron recovery rate of 96.58%, and a SiO2 content of 0.22% was obtained; then the iron concentrate was subjected to a 1 roughing and 1 fine reverse flotation desiliconization open-circuit process, and finally a super iron concentrate with an iron grade of 72.15%, an iron recovery rate of 87.46%, and a SiO2 content of 0.21% was obtained, with a purity of 99.64%, and containing trace amounts of rare earth and niobium.
[0008] Experimental study on purification and preparation of super iron concentrate from an iron ore in Anhui
[0009] The iron concentrate produced on site in an iron ore beneficiation plant in Anhui Province has an iron grade of 89.83% at -200 mesh and 66.21%. In order to prepare super iron concentrate, a reverse flotation test was carried out on the ore sample. The results show that the sample adopts 1 coarse and 1 fine reverse flotation to obtain a super iron concentrate with an iron grade of 71.76% and an iron recovery rate of 75.87%. The tailings are combined and re-grinded to -200 mesh 96.21% and then processed by reverse flotation process to obtain a flotation concentrate with an iron grade of 65.66% and a recovery rate of 21.16%.
