Based on Shandong Renping Bayer red mud as the raw material, analyzing its basic characteristics, the result is that the content of total iron in red mud is 29.55%. Gas-based high-temperature direct reduction experiments are made by using a gas mixture of CO and H2O as a reducing agent. And then the reduction effect was investigated by magnetic separation experiments, to realize that separation of iron minerals from red mud. The results show that the consequent of the magnetic separation is improved obviously with the temperature rising. Under these conditions, namely, the roasting temperature being 1050°C, the roasting time lasting 90 minutes, the reduction gas rate being 0.7 m3/min, the magnetic field being 2.2A, and three magnetic separations, the iron recovery ratio in red mud is over 97%.

Red mud is an iron-containing waste of alumina production with high alkalinity. A promising approach for its recycling is solid-phase carbothermic roasting in the presence of special additives followed by magnetic separation. The crucial factor of the separation of the obtained iron metallic particles from gangue is sufficiently large iron grains. This study focuses on the influence of Na2SO4 addition on iron grain growth during carbothermic roasting of two red mud samples with different (CaO + MgO)/(SiO2 + Al2O3) ratio of 0.46 and 1.21, respectively. Iron phase distribution in the red mud and roasted samples were investigated in detail by Mössbauer spectroscopy method. Based on thermodynamic calculations and results of multifactorial experiments, the optimal conditions for the roasting of the red mud samples with (CaO + MgO)/(SiO2 + Al2O3) ratio of 0.46 and 1.21 were duration of 180 min with the addition of 13.65% Na2SO4 at 1150 °C and 1350 °C followed by magnetic separation that led to 97% and 83.91% of iron recovery, as well as 51.6% and 83.7% of iron grade, respectively. The mechanism of sodium sulfate effect on iron grain growth was proposed. The results pointed out that Na2SO4 addition is unfavorable for the red mud carbothermic roasting compared with other alkaline sulfur-free additives.
