Iron Deposits

Research aims to compare magnetic flotation results of iron deposits of Mongolia in order to obtain iron concentrate with low sulfur content that meets the standard of raw materials for metallurgical production. Research methodology. Representative samples were taken from Tumurtei deposit in Khuder soum (Selenge province), Tumur Tolgoi deposit (Darkhan-Uul province) and Chandmani Uul deposit (Dornogobi province). Iron grade in the primary ore from Tumurtei deposit was 42.03%, in Tumurtolgoi ore – 46.57% and in Chandmani-Uul ore–43.59%. The ore was crushed into 1 mm size through java crusher and gyratory crusher for the first stage. Dry magnetic concentration was conducted on the ore samples using Boxmag Rapid LR-1.4 Induced Magnetic Separator (the UK). The test work was conducted under the condition when the distance between gyrator of separator and rotation speed are constant and by this time magnetic strength was changed. At the next stage the concentrate of dry magnetic concentration was processed by wet magnetic separation. In order to reduce the sulfur content in the ore from Tumur tolgoi and Tumurtei deposits, flotation experiments were also conducted using UK Denver flotation machine. Ore and concentrator grade were determined using traditional titer method and X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF), the mineral contents was analyzed by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), elements in product of wet magnetic separator and final concentrate were analyzed using SEM-EDX, the thermal-gravy meter analysis was conducted using instrument TG/DTA7300. Results. Wet magnetic concentration of dry magnetic separation concentrates of all the studied ore allow obtaining concentrates with the high content of iron – from 64% to 66%. Flotation of the concentrate of wet magnetic concentration made it possible to reach iron content in Tumurtei and Tumurtolgoi deposits of 69.02% and 62.86% correspondingly and reduce Sulphur content to 0.2%, 0.48% correspondingly. This study covers the field of flotation technology to extract products with lower sulfur content which meet standard of modern metallurgical industry.

Existing Form

Lower sulfur content is absolutely necessary for high value-added quality steel, so it is required to reduce sulfur content of product in each link of metallurgical production. Sintering is one of important links to provide blast furnace raw materials. Study on Sulfur existing form in Sinter can provide significant theoretical guide on sulfur distribution in metallurgical production. In this paper, small sintering experiments were carried out and sinter samples with different alkalinities were prepared. The samples were characterized by mineralogical analysis and X-ray diffraction. The results show that Sulfur existing form in Sinter is calcium sulphide (CaS). CaS can not be oxidized and melted down in the following process of blast furnace iron-making and can directly enters into slag for discharge outside the furnace.

The purpose of the paper is to study the physical and chemical features of high-quality iron concentrate precipitation from nitric acid leaching solutions of low-grade copper-sulfide raw materials, and to obtain a highly profitable product which is suitable for direct processing at ferrous metallurgy enterprises. To conduct the experiments on obtaining impurity rich and depleted iron concentrate a hydrolytic precipitate containing 54.6% iron and numerous impurities obtained as a result of processing of nitric acid leaching solutions of rough copper sulfide concentrate from the Zhezkazgan deposit is used. Analytical studies of initial materials and resulting products of the processes under investigation are conducted using the modern certified methods including the x-ray spectral, x-ray phase, atomic absorption analysis, mass spectrometry method with inductively coupled plasma. We have obtained a high-quality iron concentrate containing minimal amounts of silicon, aluminum, phosphorus and sulfur as well as partial and generalized equations that give an idea of the influence of the studied factors on the indicators of the iron concentrate production process. The apparent activation energy of the process has been calculated - 46.77 kJ/mol. It probably indicates the presence of diffusion complications caused by the formation of solid products passivating the surface of the material being dissolved. The principal possibility of obtaining high-quality iron concentrate from processing poor copper-sulfide concentrate middlings of the Zhezkazgan deposit is shown. The mathematical processing of experimental data has resulted in the determination of equations that characterize the degree of influence of the studied factors on the process indicators. It is found out that the production process of the saleable iron concentrate proceeds in the mode of diffusion restrictions. It is the first time, when multivariate generalized dependencies are obtained for the process under consideration and their analytical transformations are performed. These methods can be used to study the analogous processing of similar metallurgical raw materials.

The problems of processing iron ore tailings of wet concentration plants and wastes with high content of iron, contaminated by oil products are actual from both points of view of ecology and economy. One of the reasons restraining solving the problem is absence of technologies ensuring to involve such wastes into industrial turnover. In the process` of the research, composition and opening degree of ore and non-metallic minerals of concentration slime tailing of Magnitogorsk steel-works (MMK) were studied and technology of  their  concentration  was  elaborated.  Taking  into  consideration  the  contamination of  initial  slime  tailings of MMK, it was proposed to accomplish their preliminary de-sliming to remove vegetable remains and clay slimes by disintegration in a screw-toothed crusher and washing in a spiral classifier. Results of wet magnetic separation (WMS) of the initial slime tailings of MMK, made at JSC “Uralmekhanobr” presented, the slimes having natural coarseness of –2.0+0.0 mm. It was established that WMS at the magnetic field intensity of 1500 Oe ensures effective removal of magnetite, aggregates magnetite-hematite-goetite into magnetic product. Iron content in the magnetite concentrate was varying from 61.5 to 62.6%. For processing of slime tailings of MMK, magnetic separation was proposed by high-gradient magnetic separator with permanent magnets, created specially for these purposes by “ERGA” company. To increase iron extraction degree, it was proposed to apply gravitation methods of concentration of nonmagnetic product, obtained at high-gradient WMS. It enabled to increase iron content in the final magnetite-hematite concentrate up to 59%. A technological diagram of oiled slimes processing presented. Tests with oiled slimes of bottom deposits of metallurgical production under pilot-industrial conditions of MMK exhibited a possibility to obtain additional iron concentrate with total iron content of 62.47% while oil content in it was less 0.3%.

Test was made on separating iron from a ultra-low-grade vanadium titanium magnetite ore by a process of tailing discarding at a coarser size，staged grinding and staged low intensity magnetic separation. The results show that when the raw ore is treated by permanent dry magnetic separator with low intensity magnetic separation at 12～0 mm size，qualified tailings of about 20% yield can be discarded．The coarse concentrate is grounded in two stages. With the first stage grinding size being 45% -200 mesh and the second stage，75% -200 mesh，and then treated by two stage low intensity magnetic separation．As a result，an iron concentrate with a TFe grade of 65.80%and an iron recovery of 47.74%can be achieved．

In this work, concentrated solar energy (CSE) was applied to an energy-intensive process such as the vitrification of waste with the aim of manufacturing glasses. Different types of waste were used as raw materials: a hazardous waste from the aluminum industry as aluminum source; two residues from the food industry (eggshell and mussel shell) and dolomite ore as calcium source; quartz sand was also employed as glass network former. The use of CSE allowed obtaining glasses in the SiO2-Al2O3-CaO system at exposure time as short as 15 min. The raw materials, their mixtures, and the resulting glasses were characterized by means of X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, and differential thermal analysis. The feasibility of combining a renewable energy, as solar energy and different waste for the manufacture of glasses, would highly contribute to circular economy and environmental sustainability.

In this work, an examination of mining wastes of an albite deposit in south Spain was carried out using X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), particle size analysis, thermo-dilatometry and Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) and Thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, followed by the determination of the main ceramic properties. The albite content in two selected samples was high (65–40 wt. %), accompanied by quartz (25–40 wt. %) and other minor minerals identified by XRD, mainly kaolinite, in agreement with the high content of silica and alumina determined by XRF. The content of Na2O was in the range 5.44–3.09 wt. %, being associated with albite. The iron content was very low (<0.75 wt. %). The kaolinite content in the waste was estimated from ~8 to 32 wt. %. The particle size analysis indicated values of 11–31 wt. % of particles <63 µm. The ceramic properties of fired samples (1000–1350 °C) showed progressive shrinkage by the thermal effect, with water absorption and open porosity almost at zero at 1200–1250 °C. At 1200 °C, the bulk density reached a maximum value of 2.38 g/cm3. An abrupt change in the phase evolution by XRD was found from 1150 to 1200 °C, with the disappearance of albite by melting in accordance with the predictions of the phase diagram SiO2-Al2O3-Na2O and the system albite-quartz. These fired materials contained as main crystalline phases quartz and mullite. Quartz was present in the raw samples and mullite was formed by decomposition of kaolinite. The observation of mullite forming needle-shape crystals was revealed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The formation of fully densified and vitrified mullite materials by firing treatments was demonstrated.

This study, focused on the beneficiation of a Nigerian complex chromite ore sourced from Tunga-Kaduka, Anka Local Government of Zamfara State, Nigeria, assaying 45.85% Cr2O4 and 54.15% mineral impurities, was enriched concurrently through sink floatation and magnetic separation techniques. The chromite ore initially analyzed to contain silicate impurities was found not suitable for metallurgical purposes. Thus, enrichment was examined through gravity separation studies using organic liquid with different specific gravities at 2.8, 3.3, and 4.0. The separation of chromite ore with lowest particle size fraction was done using Mozley mineral separator followed by the magnetic separation of the sink product by magnetic separator. The results obtained revealed about 77% of the total material containing 300 μm particle size, 52% ˂ 212 μm and 17% below 75 μm. Subsequent analysis of the beneficiated ore was carried out by wet chemical analysis and atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results showed that Cr2O4 content increased to 78.34% from initial 45.83% with maximum Cr:Fe ratio of 3.2:1, representing 84.27% of chromium metal present in the ore. The enrichment of Cr2O4 obtained in this study could be found metallurgically applicable in the electro-deposition and ferro-chromium alloy production practices.
