Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of efficient utilization of high-iron bauxite, and in particular to a method for roasting and activating high-iron bauxite. Background Art

[0002] Imported bauxite has a high iron oxide content. When using the Bayer process to process high-iron bauxite, the higher iron content in the mineral will also lead to an increase in the amount of red mud produced during the production process. Since the equilibrium solid phase of the Bayer process is hydrated sodium aluminosilicate, even if the aluminum-silicon ratio of the mineral is very high, the sodium content in the red mud is difficult to meet the requirements of industries such as cement, which also limits the effective utilization of iron in the red mud.

[0003] Publication No. CN202411262251.7 specifically relates to a method for extracting iron from high-iron bauxite using biomass as a clean reducing agent. The method comprises the following steps: (1) uniformly mixing high-iron bauxite and biomass, heating to 600-700°C under oxygen-free conditions, and roasting to obtain a roasted material; (2) dissolving the roasted material obtained in step (1) using the Bayer process to obtain solid slag and a dissolving liquid; (3) magnetically separating the solid slag obtained in step (2) to obtain an iron concentrate. The method of the present invention involves uniformly mixing high-iron bauxite and biomass, followed by high-temperature reduction under inert atmosphere conditions. During this process, hematite is reduced to magnetite. Subsequently, through dissolution and magnetic separation, iron concentrate and red mud with extremely low iron and aluminum content are obtained. The iron concentrate can be used as a raw material for ironmaking. This achieves the comprehensive utilization of high-iron bauxite and biomass, solving the problem of utilizing iron resources in high-iron bauxite. However, this patent only considers the magnetic roasting of high-iron bauxite and uses the roasted bauxite in the Bayer process, without considering the activity of the bauxite. At the same time, the sodium content in the red mud after dissolution by the Bayer process is relatively high, and the selected iron concentrate contains a certain amount of sodium, which leads to a lower grade of the iron concentrate. At the same time, the utilization of the red mud after iron selection is not considered.

[0004] Publication No. CN202411049054.7 discloses a method for recovering iron and aluminum from high-iron bauxite by direct reduction, electric furnace smelting, and magnetic separation, belonging to the field of ore smelting technology. The method comprises the following steps: (1) crushing and grinding the high-iron bauxite and reducing coal to uniformly mix; (2) directly reducing the ore in a tubular furnace to obtain reduced ore; (3) performing weak magnetic separation on the reduced ore to separate aluminum concentrate and iron concentrate, and then spreading a layer of reducing coal powder on the surface of the iron concentrate; (4) performing strong magnetic separation on the aluminum concentrate to separate high-quality bauxite and ferroaluminum spinel; (5) uniformly mixing the high-quality bauxite and the iron concentrate covered with reducing coal powder and placing them in an electric arc furnace for smelting. After smelting, the copper pot is removed and cooled; (6) after air cooling, crushing and magnetic separation are performed to obtain ferrosilicon alloy and high-purity alumina. The method of the present invention can effectively recover the iron and aluminum in high-iron bauxite. However, this method does not take into account the dissolution performance of alumina, and the smelting method has high energy consumption and cost, and the product is not competitive enough.

[0005] Publication No. CN202410890274.6 discloses a method for the graded utilization of high-iron bauxite. The method involves grinding the bauxite slurry to control the particle size and content. The fine bauxite slurry is then graded for gravity separation of coarse and fine slurries. A magnetic separator separates the iron ore to produce a magnetic concentrate and tailings. After the coarse gravity separation slurry is mixed with the magnetic concentrate, the main phases are aluminum and iron, along with small amounts of titanium and silicon. Based on the existing Bayer process, the high-iron bauxite is graded into a high-aluminum, high-iron, low-silicon, low-titanium slurry and a low-aluminum, low-iron, high-silicon, high-titanium slurry. The high-temperature Bayer process in the former facilitates the full dissolution of insoluble aluminum-containing minerals, increasing the alumina dissolution rate while producing less red mud. This allows for the production of red mud with a high iron content, making it easier for the steel industry to utilize. The low-temperature Bayer process in the latter helps reduce the reaction between silicon and titanium minerals, reducing alkali consumption. However, the investment in high-iron bauxite particle size classification equipment is high, and the low-temperature dissolution efficiency is relatively low.

[0006] The current technological system has not yet broken through the difficulties of coordinated optimization of economy, product quality and solid waste utilization, especially the content of sodium aluminum silicon phase (Na2O·Al2O3·2SiO2) in red mud is difficult to stably reduce to below 1%. Coupled with the high cost of iron and aluminum recovery, it seriously restricts the efficient and large-scale utilization of high-iron bauxite. It is urgent to develop low-cost and large-scale high-iron bauxite utilization technology. Summary of the Invention

[0007] (1) Technical issues to be resolved

[0008] Given that in the existing technology, it is difficult to stably reduce the sodium, aluminum and silicon phase content of recovered red mud to below 1%, coupled with the high cost of iron and aluminum recovery, this is a technical problem that seriously restricts the efficient and large-scale utilization of high-iron bauxite.

[0009] (2) Technical solution

[0010] To this end, the present invention provides a method for roasting and activating high-iron bauxite, comprising:

[0011] Step 1: Add an activator to the high-iron bauxite, mix it, grind it, and make it into pellets;

[0024] (3) Beneficial effects:

[0025] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention mentions a method for roasting and activating high-iron bauxite, comprising: adding an activator to the high-iron bauxite, mixing and grinding the mixture to form pellets; activating the pellets in a closed reactor to obtain a magnetic iron-rich phase and activated roasted ore; subjecting the activated roasted ore to a calcification transformation high-temperature dissolution technology, and separating the product into solid and liquid to obtain a sodium aluminate solution and a calcification transformation red mud.

[0027] Figure 1 This is a process flow chart of a method for roasting and activating high-iron bauxite mentioned in this application;

[0028] Figure 2 This is another process flow chart of the method for roasting and activating high-iron bauxite mentioned in this application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to better explain the present invention and facilitate understanding, the present invention is described in detail below through specific implementation methods in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] When amount, concentration or other value or parameter are represented with range, preferred range or the range that a series of upper preferred value and lower preferred value limit are expressed, this should be understood as specifically disclosing all ranges formed by any pairing of any range upper limit or preferred value and any range lower limit or preferred value, and no matter whether this scope is disclosed separately.For example, when disclosing scope " 1-5 ", described scope should be interpreted as including scope " 1-4 ", " 1-3 ", " 1-2 ", " 1-2 and 4-5 ", " 1-3 and 5 " etc.When numerical range is described in this article, unless otherwise stated, otherwise this scope is intended to include its end value and all integers and fractions within this range.

[0031] In these embodiments, unless otherwise indicated, the parts and percentages are all measured by mass. "Parts by mass" refers to the basic unit of measurement for expressing the mass ratio relationship of multiple components. 1 part can represent any unit mass, such as 1g, 3.527g, etc. If we say that the mass parts of component A are a parts and the mass parts of component B are b parts, then it means that the ratio of the mass of component A to the mass of component B is a:b. Alternatively, it means that the mass of component A is aK and the mass of component B is bK (K is an arbitrary number, indicating a multiplication factor). It should not be misunderstood that, unlike the mass parts, the sum of the mass parts of all components is not limited to 100 parts.

[0032] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention mentions a method for roasting and activating high-iron bauxite, comprising:

[0033] Step 1: Add an activator to the high-iron bauxite, mix it, grind it, and make it into pellets;

[0034] It should be noted that the high-iron bauxite mentioned in this application is selected from high-iron gibbsite ore imported from abroad, with an activation temperature of 500°C-750°C and an activation time of 5-30 minutes.

[0035] It should be noted that the high iron bauxite is fully contacted with the activator during the mixing and grinding process to ensure that in the subsequent activation treatment, the activator can evenly act on all parts of the bauxite, making the reaction more complete and uniform.

[0036] It should be noted that pelletizing can improve the physical properties of the material, increase the bulk density and strength of the material, facilitate processing in the reactor, reduce the loss and flying of the material during transportation and reaction, and also facilitate the control of the reaction.

[0037] It should be noted that the activator is a mixture of a carbonaceous material and an alkaline compound or a mixture of hydrogen and an alkaline compound. The carbonaceous material is at least one of coal, coke, coke powder or biomass. The carbonaceous material can act as a reducing agent in the subsequent activation process to promote the conversion of the non-magnetic iron-rich phase into a magnetic iron-rich phase; further, the basic compound is at least one of an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal oxide, a hydroxide or a carbonate. The alkaline compound can activate the bauxite, avoiding the problem of deactivation of high iron in the bauxite caused by traditional roasting and reducing the efficiency of bauxite dissolution. When hydrogen is used as an activator, it has a strong reducing property and can more effectively promote the conversion of the iron phase.

[0038] Step 2: Activate the pellets in a closed reactor to obtain a magnetic iron-rich phase and activated roasted ore.

[0039] It should be noted that at an activation temperature of 500°C-750°C and an activation time of 5-30 minutes, the organic matter in the bauxite will decompose, with a decomposition rate exceeding 90%. This helps to reduce the impact of organic matter on product quality and the environment during subsequent processing.

[0040] It should be noted that the activation treatment converts the non-magnetic iron-rich phase into a magnetic iron-rich phase, which is then subjected to heavy magnetic separation. This effectively separates the magnetic iron-rich phase from other substances, helping to improve iron recovery and the grade of iron ore concentrate. The iron recovery rate is >50%, and the TFe content of the iron ore concentrate reaches over 56%. This not only improves the recycling rate of iron resources, but also produces high-grade iron ore concentrate that can be used as a raw material for ironmaking, effectively utilizing the iron resources in high-iron bauxite. Furthermore, after magnetic separation, the amount of raw material entering the alumina production system is reduced, reducing red mud at the source of alumina production by more than 35% per ton of alumina, achieving source reduction in red mud emissions.

[0041] Among them, the alkaline compounds in the activator activate bauxite during the activation process, increase the activity of bauxite, create favorable conditions for the subsequent high-temperature dissolution process, and help to increase the dissolution rate of alumina.

[0042] When a mixture of carbonaceous material and alkaline compound is used as an activator, a packed bed, moving bed, fluidized bed or rotary kiln is used, and an air lock for inlet and outlet is provided to ensure that the reaction is carried out in a relatively stable environment, reduce heat and gas loss, and improve reaction efficiency.

[0043] When hydrogen and alkaline compounds are used as activators, a fluidized bed, a conveying bed or a multi-stage cyclone heat exchanger is used to enable the hydrogen to fully contact the pellets, thereby improving the mass transfer and heat transfer efficiency of the reaction and promoting the reaction.

[0044] Step 3: The activated roasted ore is subjected to calcification transformation high temperature dissolution technology to separate the solid and liquid products into sodium aluminate solution and calcification transformation red mud.

[0045] The activated roasted ore is subjected to calcification transformation high temperature dissolution technology, and the product solid-liquid separation is carried out to obtain sodium aluminate solution and calcification transformation red mud.

[0046] It should be noted that the dissolution temperature is greater than 270°C, and the dissolution rate exceeds the theoretical dissolution rate of the Bayer process. Because the activated roasted ore is more active after activation, alumina can dissolve more fully into the solution under high temperature and specific dissolution conditions, thereby improving the extraction efficiency of alumina. Through calcification transformation and high-temperature dissolution technology, the alkali content in the red mud is less than 1%, and the red mud aluminum-silicon ratio is less than 1%. This improves the properties of the red mud, allowing it to be used in building materials, soil remediation, or as a soil conditioner. This achieves comprehensive utilization of red mud, reduces solid waste emissions, and reduces environmental impact.

[0047] When using the calcification carbonization high-temperature dissolution technology, the alkali content in red mud can be effectively reduced, the dissolution rate is greater than the theoretical dissolution rate of the Bayer process, and the red mud aluminum-silicon ratio is less than 1%, making the red mud more suitable for use in the building materials and other industries.

[0048] When using the calcified biomass high-temperature dissolution technology, not only can the dissolution rate of alumina be improved, but the red mud can also be further magnetically separated, increasing iron recovery by 30%, thus realizing the comprehensive recycling of iron and aluminum.

[0049] By using the high-temperature dissolution technology of calcified potash method, red mud can be transformed into silicon-potassium fertilizer and mineral compound fertilizer, thus realizing high added value utilization of red mud and improving the comprehensive utilization rate of resources.

[0050] After activation, organic matter in the bauxite decomposes, achieving an organic matter removal rate exceeding 90%. The non-magnetic iron-rich phase is converted to a magnetic iron-rich phase after activation. After heavy magnetic separation, the iron recovery rate exceeds 50%, the yield exceeds 35%, and the iron concentrate TFe reaches over 56%. This reduces red mud at the source of alumina production by more than 35%. The activated roasted ore utilizes calcification transformation and high-temperature dissolution technology, which increases the dissolution rate by 3% to 5%, reduces the alkali content in the red mud to less than 1%, and can be used in building materials, among other applications. This technology can achieve both source reduction and harmless treatment of red mud in alumina production from high-iron bauxite.

[0051] To better understand the technical solution, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
