Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of comprehensive utilization technology of refractory iron ore, specifically relating to a synergistic beneficiation method of ore phase transformation and flue gas desulfurization for low-grade sulfur-containing carbonate refractory iron ore and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Iron ore resources, as a fundamental raw material for the steel industry, are of significant strategic importance to national industrial development due to their efficient development and utilization. Given the current complex and volatile international situation, the security of iron ore resources is crucial to the safety of China's steel supply chain. The country is committed to establishing a long-term, stable, efficient, diversified, and high-quality resource security system to alleviate the supply and demand pressure of iron ore resources, reduce dependence on iron ore imports, and form a dual-circulation resource security pattern both domestically and internationally.
[0003] Based on the iron content, iron ore can be classified into rich ore (iron content > 60%) and lean ore (iron content < 60%). Sulfur-containing carbonate iron ore is a typical low-grade, complex, and difficult-to-process lean iron ore. Currently, my country's proven reserves of carbonate iron ore are approximately 1.8 billion tons, accounting for 5% of the country's total iron ore reserves, mainly distributed in Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, and Guizhou provinces. Carbonate iron ore is primarily composed of siderite (FeCO3), with a theoretical iron content of only 48%. As iron is replaced by calcium, magnesium, manganese, and barium elements in an isomorphous manner, the iron content in the ore is even lower. Iron ore is usually recovered using magnetic separation, but carbonate iron ore is diamagnetic and cannot be directly recovered using magnetic separation. The rotary kiln roasting-magnetic separation process is relatively mature, but the iron recovery rate is only 65%-70%, resulting in serious resource waste. Existing technologies for this type of ore have three major drawbacks: first, traditional roasting flue gas requires separate treatment with limestone; second, flue gas desulfurization is an exothermic reaction, and this heat is not recovered and utilized, resulting in waste heat; and third, iron recovery faces low recovery rates and poor concentrate quality. Therefore, for low-grade, sulfur-containing carbonate iron ores that are difficult to beneficiate, there is an urgent need to develop green and efficient beneficiation processes. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a co-processing method for beneficiating low-grade sulfur-containing carbonate refractory iron ore by ore phase transformation and flue gas desulfurization. This method utilizes a synergistic process of grinding, pre-enrichment, hydrogen-based ore phase transformation, weak magnetic separation, and flue gas desulfurization for beneficiating low-grade sulfur-containing carbonate refractory iron ore. It can achieve efficient recovery and obtain high-grade iron concentrate with high recovery rate. At the same time, it has environmental protection and energy-saving characteristics by "treating waste with waste".
[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: This invention provides a method for the synergistic beneficiation of low-grade sulfur-containing carbonate refractory iron ore through ore phase transformation and flue gas desulfurization, comprising the following steps: (1) Grinding, classifying and slurrying the raw ore to obtain pre-enriched raw materials; (2) Perform magnetic pre-enrichment and strong magnetic scavenging pre-enrichment operations to obtain pre-enriched concentrate and pre-enriched tailings; (3) The pre-enriched concentrate is concentrated and filtered to obtain pre-enriched concentrate powder. The overflow water and filtrate are recycled to the pre-enriched raw material slurry preparation operation in step (1) for slurry concentration adjustment to achieve closed-loop water return. (4) The pre-enriched concentrate powder is placed in a suspension roasting furnace and a reducing and inert gas is introduced to roast the pre-enriched concentrate in a suspension state. The siderite is converted into magnetite through hydrogen-based mineral phase conversion to obtain mineral phase conversion product. (5) The mineral phase transformation product is subjected to a first stage of weak magnetic dry separation to obtain weak magnetic dry separation concentrate and weak magnetic dry separation tailings; the weak magnetic dry separation concentrate is ground, classified and slurry adjusted, and then subjected to a second stage of weak magnetic wet separation to obtain weak magnetic concentrate 1 and weak magnetic tailings 1; the weak magnetic concentrate 1 is subjected to a third stage of weak magnetic wet separation to obtain weak magnetic concentrate 2 and weak magnetic tailings 2. (6) The weak magnetic concentrate 2 is concentrated and filtered to obtain the final iron concentrate product. The overflow water and filtrate are recycled to the weak magnetic dry separation concentrate slurry preparation operation in step (5) for slurry concentration adjustment to realize water return closed loop. (7) The pre-enriched tailings are slurried to make alkaline slurry, which is then introduced into the flue gas generated by the suspension roasting in step (4). The alkaline slurry desulfurizes the flue gas to generate sulfate substances. At the same time, under the high temperature of the flue gas, the siderite in the alkaline slurry is transformed into goethite tailings through mineral phase transformation. Goethite tailings can be subsequently used in pigments, catalysts, adsorption materials and other fields. (8) The weak magnetic dry separation tailings, weak magnetic tailings 1 and weak magnetic tailings 2 are mixed, concentrated and filtered to obtain the final tailings. The overflow water and filtrate are reused in step (7) pre-enriched tailings slurry preparation to achieve closed-loop water return. The final tailings can be further used as raw materials for building materials.
[0006] Further, in step (1), grinding and classifying to -0.074mm particles account for 60wt.%-80wt.%, and adding water to adjust the slurry to a concentration of 50wt.%-60wt.% for pre-enriched raw materials.
[0007] Further, in step (2), the magnetic pre-enrichment is divided into two stages. First, a weak magnetic pre-enrichment operation is performed to obtain pre-enriched concentrate 1 and pre-enriched tailings 1. Then, a strong magnetic pre-enrichment operation is performed on the pre-enriched tailings 1 to obtain pre-enriched concentrate 2 and pre-enriched tailings 2. A strong magnetic scavenging pre-enrichment operation is performed on the pre-enriched tailings 2 to obtain pre-enriched concentrate 3 and pre-enriched tailings. The pre-enriched concentrate 1, pre-enriched concentrate 2 and pre-enriched concentrate 3 are mixed to obtain pre-enriched concentrate.
[0008] Furthermore, the magnetic field strength for weak magnetic pre-enrichment is 800 Oe-1000 Oe, and the magnetic field strength for strong magnetic pre-enrichment and strong magnetic scanning pre-enrichment is 5000 Oe-8000 Oe. The TFe grade in the pre-enriched concentrate is >28%.
[0009] Further, in step (4), the reducing gas is a mixture of CO and H2, the inert gas is N2, and the volume ratio of CO, H2 and N2 is (50-60):(140-150):(390-410); the calcination temperature is 450℃-600℃, and the calcination time is 10min-30min.
[0010] Furthermore, the TFe grade in the mineral phase transformation product is >35%.
[0011] Furthermore, in step (5), the magnetic field strength of the first, second and third weak magnetic separation is 800Oe-1000Oe, and the weak magnetic dry separation concentrate is ground and classified to a particle content of -0.038mm ≥ 90wt.%.
[0012] Further, in step (7), the pre-enriched tailings are adjusted to a pH of 10-12; and an alkaline slurry is prepared using the natural alkali source (calcium carbonate, etc.) in the pre-enriched tailings.
[0013] This invention provides an application of a co-processing method for ore phase transformation and flue gas desulfurization in low-grade sulfur-containing carbonate refractory iron ore.
[0014] Furthermore, the TFe grade in the iron concentrate product is >60%, the recovery rate is >80%, the desulfurization efficiency after flue gas desulfurization is >99%, and the SO2 emission concentration is <35mg / m³. 3 .
[0015] Advantages and effects of the present invention: 1. The present invention provides a co-processing method for the ore phase transformation and flue gas desulfurization of low-grade sulfur-containing carbonate refractory iron ore, which can overcome the defects of existing processes for the beneficiation of refractory low-grade siderite, achieve efficient recovery of iron elements in the ore, and at the same time, the tailings can be used as building materials.
[0016] 2. The pre-enrichment process of the siderite in this invention not only reduces the processing capacity of the roasting furnace but also ensures a high iron recovery rate. At the same time, the TFe grade of the pre-enriched concentrate is increased by more than 9% compared with the original ore. Under a reducing atmosphere, the minerals in the pre-enriched concentrate are thermally decomposed, and weakly magnetic minerals are transformed into strongly magnetic minerals. Volatile substances are separated from the minerals, and the TFe grade of the mineral phase transformation product reaches more than 35%. The magnetic minerals are separated by a weak magnetic dry separation process to obtain magnetic iron concentrate while reducing water consumption. The final iron concentrate product has a TFe grade of more than 60% and a TFe recovery rate of more than 80%.
[0017] 3. This invention enables "waste treatment with waste." By using alkaline slurry to absorb flue gas from suspension roasting, it can achieve flue gas desulfurization and fully utilize the waste heat from suspension roasting, further transforming the siderite in the pre-enriched tailings into goethite. The siderite in the tailings is of low grade and has no direct utilization value, making it a type of solid waste. However, after being transformed into goethite, its grade is improved, and it can be used in pigments, catalysts, adsorbent materials, and other fields, thereby reducing the accumulation of low-grade tailings and reducing the pressure of solid waste treatment.

Siderite is converted into magnetite through hydrogen-based mineral phase conversion to obtain mineral phase conversion product; wherein, the reducing gas is a mixture of CO and H2, the inert gas is N2, and the volume ratio of CO, H2 and N2 is (50-60):(140-150):(390-410); the roasting temperature is 450℃-600℃, and the roasting time is 10min-30min; the TFe grade in the mineral phase conversion product is >35%; (5) The mineral phase transformation product is subjected to a first stage of weak magnetic dry separation to obtain weak magnetic dry separation concentrate and weak magnetic dry separation tailings; the weak magnetic dry separation concentrate is ground, classified and slurry adjusted, and then subjected to a second stage of weak magnetic wet separation to obtain weak magnetic concentrate 1 and weak magnetic tailings 1; the weak magnetic concentrate 1 is subjected to a third stage of weak magnetic wet separation to obtain weak magnetic concentrate 2 and weak magnetic tailings 2. (6) The weak magnetic concentrate 2 is concentrated and filtered to obtain the final iron concentrate product. The overflow water and filtrate are recycled to the weak magnetic dry separation concentrate slurry preparation operation in step (5). Among them, the TFe grade in the iron concentrate product is >60% and the recovery rate is >80%. (7) The pre-enriched tailings are slurried to a pH of 10-12. An alkaline slurry is made using the natural alkali source in the pre-enriched tailings and introduced into the flue gas generated by the suspension roasting in step (4). The alkaline slurry desulfurizes the flue gas to generate sulfates. At the same time, under the high temperature of the flue gas, the siderite in the alkaline slurry is transformed into goethite tailings through mineral phase conversion. The desulfurization efficiency of the flue gas after desulfurization is >99%, and the SO2 emission concentration is <35mg / m³. 3 ; (8) The weak magnetic dry separation tailings, weak magnetic tailings 1 and weak magnetic tailings 2 are mixed, concentrated and filtered to obtain the final tailings. The overflow water and filtrate are reused in step (7) pre-enriched tailings slurry preparation to realize the water return closed loop.
