The invention relates to the technical field of iron-containing mineral treatment, in particular to a method for comprehensively utilizing iron-containing minerals, which comprises the following steps: through the whole-process cooperative treatment of low-temperature weak reduction
magnetization,
magnetic separation, associated element gradient extraction and tailing gelatinization, iron,
titanium and
rare earth are respectively collected, and iron can be efficiently and magnetically separated and recycled under the mild condition of lower than 750 DEG C; the
energy consumption and the carbon emission are greatly reduced;
titanium,
manganese and
rare earth are clearly separated due to the fact that
oxide forms are kept, the
rare earth is subjected to normal-temperature leaching and environment-friendly extraction,
oxalic acid precipitation closed-loop
recovery, and waste liquid is recycled; the
magnetic separation tailings and the
titanium slag are directly prepared into a high-strength
geopolymer gelling material according to the proportion of 7: 3, the
tailings are completely converted into building materials or heavy
metal contaminated
soil remediation filler, a tailing dam is thoroughly omitted, and the risks of
dam break and
percolation are eradicated; and finally, the high-iron concentrate, the mixed rare earth
oxide and the high-added-value gelling material are output, and a virtuous cycle with full utilization of resources,
zero emission of waste and win-win economy and environment is formed.
