Existing smelting methods for processing low-quality bauxite suffer from incomplete iron-slag separation, unstable product quality, high energy consumption, and susceptible equipment damage. For example, iron oxides combine with silicon and aluminum oxides to form low-melting-point substances, lowering the melting point of refractory materials and causing chemical corrosion. Furthermore, the existing heating methods and parameter control are irrational, resulting in incomplete furnace reactions, impacting product quality and production efficiency.

The present invention can remove impurities from low-quality bauxite through calcination, thereby improving the quality of the low-quality bauxite.

[0027] In the present invention, after calcination, the calcined product is preferably cooled, crushed, and screened in sequence. The present invention does not specifically limit the cooling method; natural cooling, furnace cooling, or air cooling may be employed to achieve room temperature. The present invention does not specifically limit the specific operations of crushing and screening; they only need to achieve a particle size that meets the requirements for the bauxite clinker.

[0028] In the present invention, the particle size of the bauxite clinker is preferably 10 to 30 mm, more preferably 15 to 25 mm, and even more preferably 20 mm. By controlling the particle size of the bauxite clinker, the present invention facilitates subsequent mixing with coke.

[0039] The present invention promotes the good crystallization and growth of corundum and mullite phases by precisely controlling the process parameters (temperature, time and carbon-oxygen ratio, etc.) during the smelting process and combining the special structural advantages of the special-shaped submerged arc furnace. The brown corundum mullite refractory products produced have stable quality and excellent performance. At the same time, the ferrosilicon alloy composition is stable and meets the relevant quality standards.

[0040] The present invention reduces energy waste and lowers energy consumption in the production process through reasonable raw material processing and smelting technology, as well as precise control of the reaction in the furnace.
