Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metallurgical technology, specifically relating to a flash processing system and method for high-phosphorus oolitic hematite ore. Background Technology
[0002] Iron ore powder is a mineral powder produced from iron ore through a series of processing steps including beneficiation, crushing, sorting, and grinding. It is a major raw material in ironmaking. Iron ore powder smelting involves mixing iron ore powder with a solid reducing agent and then smelting it in a blast furnace, where the iron oxides in the iron ore powder are reduced to metallic iron. my country has abundant reserves of high-phosphorus oolitic hematite, but due to its low grade and unique composition and chemical structure, it is considered one of the most difficult ores to smelt, leading to problems such as low beneficiation indicators and high costs in its production process.
[0003] Its oolitic structure is dense, and the phosphorus component is mostly embedded in the iron ore in the form of apatite, making it difficult to separate using conventional processes. Existing technologies struggle to balance reduction efficiency and dephosphorization effectiveness, resulting in resource waste and low production efficiency. Therefore, employing a novel reduction process to smelt high-phosphorus oolitic hematite ore and improve its metallization and dephosphorization rates is an urgent technical problem that needs to be solved in the metallurgical field.

The processing method, through steps such as crushing, drying, flash reduction, and magnetic separation, combined with a composite dephosphorization aid, achieves efficient processing of high-phosphorus oolitic hematite ore. This solves the problems of ineffective phosphorus analysis and high beneficiation costs in traditional high-phosphorus oolitic hematite ore smelting processes, improves iron reduction and dephosphorization effects, and achieves comprehensive resource utilization.

The ratio of the total mass of magnesium aluminum spinel, MoSi2 and Y2O3 to the volume of anhydrous ethanol is 1g:1.5mL. Add cemented carbide balls to the mixture. The ball-to-material mass ratio is 5:1. Mix the mixture using a planetary ball milling process. The milling time is 6-8 h and the milling speed is 300-350 r / min to obtain a uniform composite slurry.
[0020] (2) Place the composite slurry in a vacuum drying oven and dry it at 120°C for 10-12 h to fully remove the anhydrous ethanol solvent and water. After drying, pass the composite powder through a 100-mesh sieve to obtain a uniformly dispersed powder.
[0021] (3) The powder is loaded into a custom cylindrical mold that is perfectly matched with the working layer of the inner wall of the core reduction zone of the reaction chamber. 2-3% of anhydrous ethanol is added as a binder. After mixing evenly, the powder is compacted by cold isostatic pressing with a pressing pressure of 50-60 MPa and a holding time of 1-2 h.

[0022] (4) Place the dry blank in a vacuum hot pressing sintering furnace, and introduce argon gas with a purity of ≥99.99% as a protective atmosphere to remove air and moisture from the furnace. Use a segmented heating sintering process. The specific steps are as follows:
[0023] The first stage (low-temperature degreasing): the temperature is increased from room temperature to 600℃ at a heating rate of 4℃ / min and held for 2 hours to completely remove residual moisture and a small amount of impurities from the green body and avoid porosity defects after sintering.
[0024] Second stage (medium-temperature pre-sintering): The temperature is increased from 600℃ to 1200℃ at a heating rate of 3℃ / min, and held for 3 hours;

The temperature and pressure are maintained for 2-3 hours to achieve complete densification of the composite powder. After sintering, the heating device is turned off, and an argon protective atmosphere is maintained. The furnace is allowed to cool naturally to room temperature to avoid cracking of the working layer due to thermal stress caused by rapid cooling, thus obtaining the composite ceramic working layer.
[0026] This invention also provides a flash processing method for high-phosphorus oolitic hematite ore, applied to the aforementioned system, specifically including the following steps:

[0035] Furthermore, the dephosphorization aid comprises raw materials in the following mass ratio: calcium oxide:sodium carbonate = 75:25:
[0036] The preparation method of the dephosphorization aid includes the following steps:
[0037] (a) Weigh calcium oxide and sodium carbonate, place the two raw materials in an oven and dry them at 120℃ for 4 h to remove surface adsorbed moisture. Accurately weigh the dried raw materials and put them into the ball mill jar of a planetary ball mill. Add anhydrous ethanol as the ball milling medium.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows:
[0040] 1. The magnesium aluminum spinel-molybdenum disilicide composite ceramic working layer covering the inner wall of the core reduction zone of the reaction chamber adopts a structure with magnesium aluminum spinel as the continuous matrix phase and molybdenum disilicide as the dispersed reinforcing phase. The magnesium aluminum spinel matrix endows the working layer with high hardness and excellent wear resistance, which can resist the continuous scouring of high-speed iron ore powder particles. The uniformly distributed molybdenum disilicide particles effectively inhibit crack propagation through crack deflection and bridging mechanisms, so that the working layer maintains structural integrity when subjected to severe thermal cycling.
[0041] 2. The composite dephosphorization aid designed in this invention can fully contact and react with the phosphorus components in high-phosphorus oolitic hematite ore during flash reduction, effectively removing phosphorus from the ore, avoiding corrosion of equipment during the dephosphorization process, and balancing dephosphorization effect with equipment protection.
[0042] 3. The present invention utilizes hydrogen to treat high-phosphorus oolitic hematite ore, which greatly improves the dephosphorization rate and metallization rate of iron ore during the smelting process, and can comprehensively recover iron from high-phosphorus oolitic hematite ore, and the final product obtained is metallic iron powder.
[0043] 4. The process of this invention is short and low-cost, and the resulting iron powder has a high iron content, high iron recovery rate, low phosphorus content, and high dephosphorization rate. Attached Figure Description

[0048] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention and to make the above-mentioned features, objectives, and advantages of the present invention clearer and easier to understand, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments. These embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0049] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those familiar to those skilled in the art. Furthermore, any methods and materials similar to or equivalent to those described herein may be applied to this invention. The preferred embodiments and materials described herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the scope of this application.
[0050] Unless otherwise specified, all methods described in the following embodiments are conventional. Unless otherwise specified, all materials used in the following embodiments are new materials purchased from the market.
[0051] Reference Figure 2 The reducing gas inlet pipe 7, the iron ore powder inlet 8, and the concentrate nozzle 9 constitute the feeding device of the system. The carrier gas is used to make the iron ore powder particles achieve a greater dispersion effect in the reaction chamber through the concentrate nozzle.
[0052] The reaction chamber of this system consists of a corundum furnace tube 3, a high-temperature heating element molybdenum disilicide rod 4, and an insulating furnace lining 11. The reaction chamber is divided into three areas, from top to bottom: an iron ore powder particle dispersion area, a core reduction area, and a cooling and collection area. Since temperature affects the dispersion effect of iron ore powder particles and can cause some particles to react at the concentrate nozzle, affecting the service life of the concentrate nozzle, the high-temperature heating element molybdenum disilicide rod 4 is located in the middle of the reaction chamber as the core reduction area. The reduced iron ore powder particles are slowed down by the cooling and collection area at the bottom and then collected by the collection device at the bottom.
[0053] The reduction conditions of iron ore powder particles, the dispersion effect of iron ore powder particles inside the reaction chamber, and the collection of iron ore powder particles at the bottom of the furnace (2), the middle of the furnace (5), the top of the furnace (6), the observation port at the top of the furnace (10), and the bottom of the furnace (12) were respectively used to detect the reduction conditions of iron ore powder particles, the dispersion effect of iron ore powder particles inside the reaction chamber, and the collection of iron ore powder particles at the bottom.
[0054] The sloping furnace platform 1, material tray 14, and material tray observation and replacement port 15 form a collection device to collect the reduced iron ore powder particles. The material tray is taken out through the material tray observation and replacement port 15 when it is full.
[0055] The reduced iron ore powder particles in the material tray 14 are fed into the magnetic separator for magnetic separation to separate the metallic iron powder from the tailings.
[0056] The exhaust gas generated during reduction is introduced into the exhaust gas treatment device 16 through the exhaust gas collection pipe 13. In the exhaust gas treatment device 16, the gas is analyzed and processed. The hydrogen gas inside is purified and dried before being recycled as reducing gas. Other toxic gases are treated to render them harmless, thus eliminating the environmental damage caused by exhaust gas from traditional smelting equipment.

[0105] The first stage: the temperature is increased from room temperature to 600℃ at a heating rate of 4℃ / min and held for 2 hours to completely remove residual moisture and a small amount of impurities from the green body and avoid porosity defects after sintering.
[0106] The second stage involves heating from 600℃ to 1200℃ at a rate of 3℃ / min and holding at that temperature for 3 hours to promote the initial bonding of magnesium aluminum spinel with MoSi2 particles and form a stable composite structure.
[0107] The third stage: the temperature is increased from 1200℃ to 1800℃ at a heating rate of 2℃ / min, while an axial sintering pressure of 40 MPa is applied. The temperature and pressure are maintained for 3 hours to achieve complete densification of the composite powder. After sintering, the heating device is turned off, and an argon protective atmosphere is maintained. The furnace is allowed to cool naturally to room temperature to avoid cracking of the working layer due to thermal stress caused by rapid cooling. After cooling, the composite ceramic working layer is obtained.
[0108] This embodiment also provides a flash processing method for high-phosphorus oolitic hematite ore, applied to the aforementioned system, specifically including the following steps:
[0109] S1, the composition of high phosphorus oolitic hematite is Tfe 35.6%, P2O 51.9%, Fe2O 365.34%. The high phosphorus oolitic hematite and dephosphorization aid are fed into a ball mill for crushing to obtain high phosphorus oolitic hematite powder particles with a particle size of 50 μm.
[0110] S2, high-phosphorus oolitic hematite powder particles are fed into a drying device for baking and drying to obtain dried high-phosphorus oolitic hematite powder particles;
[0111] S3, dry high-phosphorus oolitic hematite powder particles are fed into the feeding device through the iron ore powder inlet of the feeding device. Ar is used as the carrier gas to provide the initial velocity, which is 0.2 m / s. After passing through the concentrate nozzle, it enters the reaction chamber in a dispersed state with a large specific surface area. The mass flow rate of the concentrate nozzle is 5 g / s.
[0112] S4, reducing gas is introduced into the reaction chamber. The reducing gas is 100% H2. The temperature of the reaction chamber is 1400℃. Iron ore powder reacts with H2. The reaction time is 4s, and a reducing material containing metallic iron is generated.
[0113] S5, the reducing material is collected by the collection device and then passed into the magnetic separation device for magnetic separation to obtain high-quality metallic iron powder and tailings. The reduced tail gas is passed into the tail gas treatment device to purify, separate and dry the unreacted hydrogen gas, and then pass it into the reaction chamber for recycling.
[0114] The dephosphorization aid comprises raw materials in the following mass ratio: calcium oxide:sodium carbonate = 75:25:
[0115] The preparation method of the dephosphorization aid includes the following steps:
[0116] (a) Weigh calcium oxide and sodium carbonate, place the two raw materials in an oven and dry them at 120°C for 4 h to remove surface adsorbed moisture. Accurately weigh the dried raw materials and put them into the ball mill jar of a planetary ball mill. Add anhydrous ethanol as the ball milling medium. The mass ratio of the original total mass material to ethanol is 1:1.5. Then add cemented carbide grinding balls. The mass ratio of the balls to the material is 3:1. Set the speed of the planetary ball mill to 300 r / min and the ball milling time to 4 h to make the calcium oxide and sodium carbonate fully mixed and uniform to obtain a composite slurry.
[0117] (b) The composite slurry was transferred to a vacuum drying oven and dried at 80°C for 10 h to remove anhydrous ethanol. The dried powder was then passed through a 200-mesh sieve to obtain a dephosphorization aid with uniform particle size.
[0118] The difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 2 is that the inner wall of the core reduction zone of the reaction chamber is made of ordinary refractory material, while the rest is exactly the same as Example 2.
[0119] The difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 2 is that no dephosphorization aid is added; the rest is exactly the same as Example 2.
[0120] Comparative Example 3 uses a conventional processing method for high-phosphorus oolitic hematite, namely reduction roasting-magnetic separation.
[0121] Experimental example:
[0122] 1. Dephosphorization rate: Weigh the mixture of reduced metallic iron powder and tailings, mix thoroughly, and take a sample. Determine the mass fraction of phosphorus in the sample using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), denoted as P. Simultaneously, determine the phosphorus content of the untreated high-phosphorus oolitic hematite raw material using the same method. The dephosphorization rate is calculated using the following formula: The calculation results are recorded in Table 1.
[0123] 2. Iron Recovery Rate: Weigh the total mass of the mixture of reduced metallic iron powder and tailings, denoted as M0. After magnetic separation, collect the metallic iron powder product and weigh its mass, denoted as M1. Determine the mass fraction of iron in the mixture (Fe0) and the mass fraction of iron in the metallic iron powder (Fe1), respectively. The iron recovery rate is calculated using the following formula: The results are recorded in Table 1.
[0124] Table 1: Dephosphorization rate and iron recovery rate of the flash processing system for high-phosphorus oolitic hematite ore according to the present invention
[0125]
[0126] In Table 1, the reaction chamber wall of Comparative Example 1 was made of ordinary refractory material. During the flash reduction process, after multiple thermal cycles, microcracks appeared on the inner wall. Some iron ore powder particles were retained at the cracks and underwent over-reduction, resulting in a small amount of phosphorus entering the metallic iron phase. At the same time, the inner wall surface wore down quickly, affecting the powder dispersion effect. Comparative Example 2 did not add any composite dephosphorization aid and relied solely on the kinetic selectivity of the flash reduction process to achieve iron-phosphorus separation.
[0127] Comparative Example 3 employs a common reduction roasting-magnetic separation process in existing technologies: iron ore and coal powder are mixed and pelletized, reduced roasted for 2-2.5 hours, cooled, crushed, ball-milled, and magnetically separated. While this process achieves higher dephosphorization and iron recovery rates, the reduction roasting time is as long as 2-2.5 hours, whereas this invention only requires 3-10 seconds, significantly improving production efficiency.
[0128] In summary, this invention provides a flash processing system for high-phosphorus oolitic hematite ore. This system integrates a feeding device, a reaction chamber, a collection device, and a magnetic separation device, and is also equipped with a ball milling device, a drying device, and a tail gas treatment device. The inner wall of the core reduction zone in the reaction chamber is lined with a composite ceramic working layer, prepared through specific ball milling, molding, and sintering processes to ensure structural stability and suitability for the reduction reaction. The processing method, through steps such as ball milling, drying, feeding and dispersion, high-temperature reduction, and magnetic separation, combined with reasonable control of carrier gas and reducing gas, achieves flash processing of high-phosphorus oolitic hematite ore, enabling rational resource utilization and environmentally friendly treatment. This system can meet the needs for large-scale, high-efficiency processing of high-phosphorus oolitic hematite ore.
