The invention relates to the field of
alloy production, and discloses a method for preparing an
alloy from coarse
pyrite. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out oxidizing
roasting on coarse
sulfur cobalt ore obtained in a flotation desulfurization process; the roasted
pyrite is subjected to ore
grinding; mixing the ground ore
powder with a
reducing agent, limestone and
sodium humate to prepare lump ore; the lump ore is put into a
rotary kiln to be roasted and reduced, and reduced iron
slag is obtained; and the reduced iron
slag is put into a submerged arc furnace to be smelted, and crude
cobalt-
nickel-iron
alloy is obtained. According to the method disclosed by the invention, low-grade
sulfur and
cobalt resources which are difficult to economically treat by a traditional dressing and
smelting method are efficiently recovered through oxidizing
roasting desulfurization, reduction and submerged arc furnace melting separation treatment, cobalt and
nickel elements which are dispersed in an occurrence state are effectively enriched, and iron elements in the resources are synchronously recovered; cooperative
recovery of multiple metals such as cobalt,
nickel and iron is achieved, and the total
utilization rate of mineral resources is increased. The method is short in process, conventional in equipment, stable in operation and easy for large-scale and continuous industrial application.
