Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of mineral processing and metallurgical engineering, and particularly relates to a device and method for surface magnetization modification and titanium extraction of ilmenite with all particle sizes. Background Art

[0002] Vanadium-titanium magnetite is a complex multi-metal associated mineral resource, and it is difficult to directly separate and extract titanium resources from it. Therefore, in industry, iron is generally selected first, and then titanium is extracted from the tailings of vanadium-titanium magnetite after iron separation. However, due to processes such as grinding and magnetic separation, the tailings of iron separation have problems such as complex ore structure and texture, serious over-grinding of ilmenite, and great difficulty in reuse. At present, the commonly used treatment methods for extracting titanium from the tailings of vanadium-titanium magnetite after iron separation are combined processes such as "gravity separation - electrostatic separation" and "magnetic separation - flotation". However, the above methods are still difficult to effectively recover ilmenite with a particle size of -0.038mm, resulting in serious loss of titanium resources; and in actual production, the flotation method requires the use of a large amount of reagents, with high production costs and great environmental pollution.

[0003] Patent CN202311770003.9 discloses a flotation process and its reagent system for enhanced recovery of ilmenite. By using hydroxamic acid and gemini quaternary ammonium salt collectors, and adopting the "one roughing - one scavenging" forward flotation and "one roughing - one scavenging" reverse flotation processes, ilmenite concentrate with a TiO 2 grade of about 47% and a TiO 2 recovery rate of about 80% can be obtained. However, this patented technology has problems such as a long flotation operation process, both forward flotation and reverse flotation, a complex reagent system, and no clear description of the applicable raw material particle size, and there is uncertainty about whether fine-grained ilmenite can be successfully separated.

[0004] Patent CN202010873387.7 discloses a method for titanium extraction and impurity reduction from the tailings of vanadium-titanium magnetite after iron separation. By flexibly combining high-intensity magnetic separation, flotation and classification, the purpose of classifying and recovering ilmenite in the tailings of vanadium-titanium magnetite after iron separation according to different particle sizes is achieved. Finally, ilmenite concentrate products with a TiO 2 grade of 48.27% and a TiO 2 recovery rate of 53.95% can be obtained. However, due to a large number of classification and separation operations in this patented technology, there are many types of obtained products, and the process flow is too complicated, which is not conducive to industrial application and implementation.

[0005] Therefore, aiming at the problems of uneven particle sizes of ilmenite, poor recovery effect of "high-intensity magnetic separation + flotation", and too long process flow, it is urgent to develop a beneficiation process plan for ilmenite with all particle sizes to achieve the efficient recovery of ilmenite, which is of great significance for greatly improving the recovery rate of ilmenite in the Panxi region. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Aiming at the problem that the existing "high-intensity magnetic separation + flotation" process has poor adaptability to all particle sizes, especially the fine-grained ilmenite will deteriorate the flotation index, and even cause the flotation operation to be unable to run normally in severe cases, the present invention provides a device and method for surface magnetization modification of ilmenite in all particle sizes to extract titanium. The main principle is to use the method of "pre-oxidation - re-reduction" mineral phase transformation to realize the surface magnetization modification of ilmenite particles in the tailings of vanadium-titanium magnetite after iron separation, thereby improving the magnetism of ilmenite particles as a whole and laying a mineralogical condition for the magnetic separation and recovery of ilmenite. Specifically: by connecting and coordinating equipment such as a suspension heating device, an oxidation device, a reduction device, and a cyclone separator, and regulating the reaction conditions, the ilmenite on the surface of the tailings of vanadium-titanium magnetite after iron separation is modified to generate magnetite with strong magnetism, and then the ilmenite wrapped by magnetite is synchronously recovered and asynchronously separated by a magnetic separator and a grinding device, and finally qualified titanium concentrate and iron concentrate products are obtained, realizing the efficient recovery of ilmenite in the tailings of vanadium-titanium magnetite after iron separation. Only the surface characteristics of ilmenite particles are changed during the whole process, and the internal phase composition and other properties of the particles do not change significantly, minimizing the process energy consumption.

[0009] Further, the gas outlets of the second cyclone separator and the third cyclone separator are connected to the burner through pipelines.

[0010] Further, a partition is provided at the bottom of the oxidation reactor, dividing the interior of the oxidation reactor into a fluidized chamber and an oxidation chamber. The feed inlet is located at the upper part of the fluidized chamber. The bottoms of both chambers are connected to an air pipe to introduce air, and the air flow in the fluidized chamber is less than that in the oxidation chamber.

[0011] Further, a partition is provided at the bottom of the reduction reactor, dividing the interior of the reduction reactor into a fluidized chamber and a reduction chamber. The upper part of the fluidized chamber is the feed inlet of the reduction reactor, and the upper part of the reduction chamber is the discharge outlet of the reduction reactor. Air inlets are respectively provided at the bottoms of the fluidized chamber and the reduction chamber, and are connected to the reduction gas pipe and the nitrogen pipeline.

[0012] Further, the first magnetic separator is also provided with a tailings outlet.

[0013] A method for surface magnetization modification of ilmenite for titanium extraction with all particle sizes is realized by using the above device and is carried out according to the following steps:

[0014] Step 1: Place the all-particle-size ilmenite (iron tailings from vanadium-titanium magnetite iron separation) material in the silo and feed it into the screw feeder through the belt conveyor.

[0015] Step 2: Start the burner, introduce natural gas and air into the burner, and the high-temperature flue gas enters the suspension heating furnace, and then successively enters the first cyclone separator, the cyclone preheater, the condensation equipment, the desulfurization and denitrification device, the Roots blower, and finally is discharged through the chimney.

[0016] Step 3: Start the screw feeder, the water quenching stirring and slurrying tank, the first magnetic separator, the stirring mill, and the second magnetic separator; feed air into the bottom of the oxidation reactor, and feed reducing gas and nitrogen into the bottom of the reduction reactor. The reaction products of the oxidation reactor and the reduction reactor are respectively subjected to gas-solid separation by the second cyclone separator and the third cyclone separator. The gas therein is discharged through the gas outlet of the cyclone separator and then enters the burner through a pipeline. The all-size ilmenite (iron tailings from vanadium-titanium magnetite iron separation) material is fed into the cyclone preheater by the screw feeder for preheating. The preheating time is 1 min to 2 min, and the temperature is 300°C to 400°C. After preheating, the material enters the suspension heating furnace. After being heated by the suspension heating furnace, it enters the first cyclone separator. The first cyclone separator separates the solid material from the gas. The solid material enters the oxidation reactor for oxidation reaction by using its own stored heat, oxidizes and decomposes the surface of the ilmenite particles to generate rutile and hematite. The oxidized solid material enters the second cyclone separator with the air flow for gas-solid separation. The separated gas enters the burner as combustion gas, and the separated solid material enters the reduction reactor, where a reduction reaction occurs by using its own stored heat, reducing the hematite formed on the surface of the ilmenite particles to strongly magnetic magnetite, thereby overall improving the magnetism of the ilmenite particles. The reduced solid material enters the third cyclone separator with the air flow, and the separated gas enters the burner as fuel for combustion and heat supply.

[0017] Step 4: The solid material separated by the third cyclone separator enters the water quenching stirring and slurrying tank for cooling and slurrying, and then enters the first magnetic separator for primary magnetic separation, separating the surface magnetized modified ilmenite and gangue minerals, realizing the synchronous recovery of iron and titanium and the efficient rejection of gangue. The separated gas enters the burner as fuel for combustion and heat supply. The surface magnetized modified ilmenite obtained after primary magnetic separation enters the stirring mill for scrubbing and grinding, stripping and dissociating the magnetite shell layer on the surface of the ilmenite particles. The grinding product enters the second magnetic separator for secondary magnetic separation, obtaining non-magnetic ilmenite concentrate and magnetic iron concentrate products, realizing the separation and comprehensive recovery of iron and titanium.

[0018] Further, the grade of the all-size ilmenite (iron tailings from vanadium-titanium magnetite iron separation) described in Step 1 is TFe 10% - 30%, TiO 2 5% - 25%, and the moisture content ≤ 10%; the particle size is such that the proportion of -200 mesh is ≥ 80%, and the proportion of -400 mesh in the particle size is more than 30%.

[0019] Further, the heating temperature of the suspension heating furnace described in Step 3 is 700°C - 900°C, and the heating time is 1 min - 10 min; the temperature in the oxidation reactor is 600°C - 850°C, and the oxidation reaction time is 10 min - 40 min; the temperature in the reduction reactor is 450°C - 550°C, and the reduction reaction time is 5 min - 20 min.

[0020] Further, the reducing gas used in the reduction reaction in Step 3 is H produced by coal gasification or natural gas cracking 2 and CO, which oxidize Fe in the solid material 2 O 3 The molar ratio of to the reducing gas is 0.5 - 1.0; the oxidizing gas is a mixed gas configured with oxygen and nitrogen, and the oxygen concentration is not less than 20%, or air is directly introduced.

[0021] Further, in Step 3, the chemical equations of the oxidation reaction and the reduction chemical reaction occurring on the surface of ilmenite particle minerals are as follows:

[0022] 4FeTiO 3 +O 2 =2Fe 2 O 3 +4TiO 2 (1)

[0023] 3Fe 2 O 3 +CO / H 2 =2Fe 3 O 4 +CO 2 / H 2 O (2)

[0024] In the reduced solid material, the titanium in the ilmenite particle core still exists in the forms of TiO 2 and ilmenite (FeTiO 3 ).

[0025] Further, in Step 4, the concentration of the solid material in the water quenching and stirring pulp tank is 20% - 35%, the temperature of the pulp after cooling should be lower than 80°C, and the magnetic field intensities of the first magnetic separation and the second magnetic separation are 500 Oe - 2000 Oe.

[0026] Further, in Step 4, the pulp concentration in the stirred mill is 30% - 45%, and the proportion of -325 mesh in the grinding product is ≥80%.

[0027] Further, in Step 4, the TiO 2 grade in the obtained titanium concentrate product is ≥47%, the TiO 2 recovery rate is ≥70%, and the iron concentrate grade is ≥65%.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0029] The basic principle of the present invention is to form a complete titanium-iron recovery and separation process equipment by using a suspension heating device, an oxidation reactor, and a reduction reactor, in cooperation with a cyclone preheater, a magnetic separator, a stirring mill, etc. The whole particle size ilmenite (iron separation tailings of vanadium-titanium magnetite) generates hematite on the surface of ilmenite particles in the iron separation tailings of vanadium-titanium magnetite by precisely controlling key parameters such as oxidation temperature, atmosphere, and time. Then, through reduction treatment, the hematite on the surface of ilmenite mineral particles is converted into magnetite, forming a strongly magnetic surface layer. Subsequently, the ilmenite wrapped by magnetite is separated from gangue minerals through magnetic separation, realizing the synchronous magnetic separation recovery of titanium and iron. The obtained magnetic ilmenite then enters the stirring mill, and the surface magnetite is ground and dissociated by scrubbing and grinding. Finally, the separation of titanium and iron is realized again through magnetic separation, obtaining high-grade titanium concentrate and iron concentrate.

[0030] Compared with the existing methods and devices for treating iron separation tailings of vanadium-titanium magnetite, the present invention first uses a suspension heating furnace to fluidize heat and react the materials, with high heat and mass transfer efficiency and fast reaction rate. By utilizing the self-heat storage and reaction heat release of minerals, the spontaneous progress of the oxidation and reduction processes is realized, effectively reducing the roasting energy consumption. Secondly, the innovation of the device and method of the present invention is to utilize the self-properties of ilmenite minerals, and selectively convert the surface of ilmenite particles into magnetite by precisely regulating the reaction conditions, without over-oxidation and over-reduction reactions, realizing the surface magnetization modification of ilmenite mineral particles. In combination with traditional beneficiation processes such as magnetic separation and grinding, the separation and comprehensive recovery of titanium and iron are realized. In addition, the method of the present invention does not require grading treatment of the iron separation tailings of vanadium-titanium magnetite, realizing the utilization of the whole particle size, effectively simplifying the process flow. The whole set of device and method is designed to recycle heat, save energy and reduce consumption, with low production cost, and is convenient for industrial implementation and application.

[0043] A method for surface magnetization modification of ilmenite to extract titanium with all particle sizes is realized by using the above-mentioned titanium extraction device and is carried out according to the following steps:

[0044] Step 1: Place all-particle-size ilmenite materials with a TFe grade of 10.5%, a TiO 2 grade of 20.5%, a moisture content of 9%, a particle size of -200 mesh accounting for 90%, and a particle size of -400 mesh accounting for 45% in the storage bin 1, and feed them into the screw feeder 3 through the belt 2.
