Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of comprehensive utilization of resources, and particularly relates to a method for comprehensively utilizing high-iron bauxite ore. Background Art

[0002] In China, the resources of iron ore and bauxite are seriously scarce and rely heavily on imports. However, the high-iron bauxite resources in Guangxi, Fujian, Taiwan and other places have not been utilized. This is because in terms of single metals of iron and aluminum contained in high-iron bauxite, neither iron nor aluminum reaches the industrial grade. Therefore, there is no benefit in extracting only iron or only aluminum from this ore, and the path of comprehensive utilization must be taken. For decades, Chinese scientific and technological workers have conducted a large number of studies on high-iron bauxite in China and achieved many results in process technology. Generally speaking, there are three processes: "ore dressing first and then smelting", "aluminum first and then iron", and "iron first and then aluminum".

[0003] The process of ore dressing first and then smelting is to separate aluminum-containing minerals from iron-containing minerals by ore dressing to obtain aluminum concentrate and iron concentrate. Then, the aluminum concentrate is treated by wet method to produce alumina; the iron concentrate is treated by blast furnace to produce iron. Due to the poor crystallization and fine dissemination of high-iron bauxite, conventional ore dressing methods cannot effectively separate aluminum and iron minerals.

[0004] The process of aluminum first and then iron is to treat high-iron bauxite ore by the Bayer process to extract alumina, and then use red mud to smelt iron. However, with this method, the extraction rate of aluminum is low, the smelting cost of iron is high, and the economic benefit is poor.

[0005] The process of iron first and then aluminum is to first extract iron from high-iron bauxite and then extract alumina from the slag. Specifically, there are four schemes: pellet iron scheme; pig iron - clinker scheme; metallization pre-reduction - electric furnace melting - alumina extraction scheme; sintering - blast furnace ironmaking - slag alumina extraction scheme. Among them, the pellet iron scheme and the pig iron - clinker scheme are difficult to implement technically; the metallization pre-reduction - electric furnace melting - alumina extraction scheme and the sintering - blast furnace ironmaking - slag alumina extraction scheme are technically feasible, but the cost is high and there is no economic benefit. Therefore, in order to realize the rational utilization of high-iron bauxite, new process technologies need to be studied. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and provide a method for comprehensively utilizing high-iron bauxite, which uses hydrogen reduction to extract iron, separates and extracts alumina and silica from the slag, with high extraction rate and low cost.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A method for comprehensively utilizing high-iron bauxite ore, comprising the following steps:

[0008] (1) Grind the high-iron bauxite into fine powder ore, mix it evenly with a binder and water to form pellets. If using lump ore of 20 mm - 30 mm, there is no need to make pellets and it can be directly added to the electric arc furnace;

[0009] (2) Dry the made pellets at 200°C - 300°C until the water content is below 1%;

[0010] (3) Add the dried pellets to the electric arc furnace, heat to 1500°C - 1600°C to melt and form a molten pool. Pass hydrogen into the molten pool to generate molten iron and slag. The amount of hydrogen added is 100% in excess of the amount of hydrogen required to completely reduce iron oxides, etc. in the molten pool.

[0011] The chemical reactions that occur are:

[0012] Fe2O3 + H2 = 2FeO + H2O
