In this study, oxidizing roasting, segregation roasting, and magnetic separation are used to extract cobalt and iron from refractory Co-bearing sulfur concentrate. The Co-bearing sulfur concentrate containing 0.68% Co, 33.26% Fe, and 36.58% S was obtained from V-Ti magnetite in the Panxi area of China by flotation. Cobalt pyrite and linneite were the Co-bearing minerals, and the gangue minerals were mica, chlorite, feldspar, and calcite in Co-bearing sulfur concentrate. The results show that cobalt is transformed from Co-pyrite and linneite to a Co2FeO4-dominated new cobalt mineral phase, and iron is transformed from pyrite to Fe2O3 and an Fe3O4-dominated new iron mineral phase after oxidizing roasting. Cobalt changed from CoFe2O4 to a new cobalt mineral phase dominated by [Co] Fe solid solution, and iron changed from Fe2O3 to a new iron mineral phase dominated by metal Fe and Fe3O4 after segregation roasting. Cobalt concentrate with a cobalt grade of 15.15%, iron content of 71.22%, and cobalt recovery of 90.81% as well as iron concentrate with iron grade of 60.06%, cobalt content of 0.11%, and iron recovery of 76.23% are obtained. The main minerals in the cobalt concentrate are Fe, [Co]Fe, Fe3O4, and SiO2, and the main minerals in the iron concentrate are Fe3O4, FeO, Ca2Si2O4, and Ca2Al2O4.

There are nearly 500 million tons of hematite ores carbonate-containing in Donganshang, China. However, the flotation flowsheet previously of in that area was seriously affected by the siderite. Therefore, many ores could not be processed by ordinary methods. In this study, mixed magnetic concentrate in scene was beneficiated by stepped-flotation, in which siderite was separated in first direct flotation step to eliminate its negative influence on hematite flotation, and then the high quality hematite concentrate could be obtained by second reverse flotation step. When the feed was mixed magnetic concentrate in scene with total iron grade of 42.84% and siderite content of 4.04%, an iron concentrate with iron grade of 67.84% and iron recovery of 69.47% was obtained in closed circuit of stepped-flotation.

In this study, segregation roasting and magnetic separation are used to extract nickel from a garnierite laterite ore. The garnierite laterite ore containing 0.72% Ni, 0.029% Co, 8.65% Fe, 29.66% MgO, and 37.86% SiO2 was collected in the Mojiang area of China. Garnierite was the Ni-bearing mineral; the other main minerals were potash feldspar, forsterite, tremolite, halloysite, quartz, and kaolinite in the garnierite laterite ore. The iron phase transformations show that nickel is transformed from (Ni,Mg)O·SiO2·nH2O to a new nickel mineral phase dominated by [Ni]Fe solid solution; and iron changed from Fe2O3 and FeOOH to a new iron mineral phase dominated by metal Fe and Fe3O4 after segregation roasting. Ferronickel concentrate with Ni of 16.16%, Fe of 73.67%, and nickel recovery of 90.33% was obtained under the comprehensive conditions used: A roasting temperature of 1100 °C, a roasting time of 90 min, a calcium chloride dosage of 15%, an iron concentrate dosage of 30%, a coke dosage of 15%, a coke size of −1 + 0.5 mm, a magnetic separation grinding fineness of <45 μm occupying 90%, and a magnetic separation magnetic field intensity of H = 0.10 T. The main minerals in ferronickel concentrate are Fe, [Ni]Fe, Fe3O4, and a small amount of gangue minerals, such as CaO·SiO2 and CaO·Al2O3·SiO2.

The mineral processing experimental research was carried out on the hematite bearing characteristics of low grade, fine grain,complex composition. The results showed that using the technological flowsheet of “stage grinding- low intensity magnetic separation”, the iron concentrate with recovery of 36.56% and grade of 65.85% Fe can be obtained. And the iron concentrate with recovery of 17.23% and grade of 63.53% Fe can be obtained by “stage grinding-HIMS process-reverse flotation” process. The final iron concentrate with TFe grade of 65.10%,yield of 19.19% and total iron recovery of 53.79% from the raw ores with TFe grade of 23.41% was obtained, with the first stage grinding size being 55% -0.074mm and the second stage,93% -0.074mm.

Effects of sodium citrate dosage and current density on composition and phase structure of nanocrystalline CoFe thin films were systematically studied. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) showed when sodium citrate dosage in the bath was less than 10 g/L, with increasing citrate in the bath, iron content in the deposited films remarkably decreased. However, sodium citrate dosage more than 20 g/L had no effect on composition of the deposited films. In low current densities, cobalt content decreases and iron content increases, as the current density increases. The current density of 15 ma/cm2 could be considered as alloy limiting current density. The XRD analyses showed that only BCC and/or FCC formed in the deposited films and average grain size, estimated by Scherrer formula, were below 55 nm. The results indicated that phase formation in the electrodeposition of CoFe deviated from equilibrium conditions and was controlled by kinetic conditions. The lattice constants for BCC and FCC phases in CoFe films were close to those of BCC iron and FCC cobalt, respectively.

The grade of the crude hematite-limonite ore is 39.79%. The main metallic minerals are hematite-limonite. Hematite has disseminated structure distributed in the gangue. Limonite was inlayed as stars in hematite. Due to their fine dissemination and close association with gangue minerals, the hematite and limonite particles are hard to be fully liberated, bringing difficulty in their separation. Staged grinding-separation process consisting of high intensity magnetic separation and reverse floatation wag adopted in the beneficiation test on the regionally representative hematite—limonite ore resource. At a grind of 70.0% -200 mesh for the primary grinding and 98.7% -200 mesh for the secondary grinding, the final iron concentrate grade 58.26% and having an iron recovery of 8.33% can be achieved after reverse flotation process test on magnetic concentrate.

Mullite-based iron nanocomposites were prepared by the reduction of a mullite-iron oxide solid solution and successive hot pressing. The solid solution was obtained from the heat treatment of diphasic gel by sol-gel method. Some of the α-iron nanoparticles have an intra-granular structure just after reduction. Mechanical properties are strongly affected by the content of iron. Low iron content is beneficial to strengthening while high iron content can improve the fracture toughness. Furthermore, the nanocomposites also behave ferromagnetic properties at room temperature.

With the development of mining operation, the content of iron carbonate typically siderite increases evidently in the iron ore produced in Dong Anshan floatation plant, China. The presence of siderite significantly decreases the iron grade in the concentrate produced by the current reverse anionic flotation process. The study shows that the floatability of hematite, siderite and quartz differs with an increase of pH by using the combination of starch and CaCl2 as depressant. A two-step flotation process has been developed to treat Dong Anshan iron ore by which siderite was removed in the first step floatation and in the second step, reverse anionic flotation was used to produce high quality iron concentrate.

SYNOPSIS We present three technological scenarios for the recovery of valuable components from gangue, stored in the tailings dam at Kremikovtzi metallurgical plant in Bulgaria, into marketable iron-containing pellets. In the first approach the iron concentrate was recovered through a two-stage flotation process, desliming, and magnetic separation. In the second proposed process, the iron concentrate was subjected to four sequential stages of magnetic separation coupled with selective magnetic flocculation. The third route entails the not very common practice of magnetizing roasting, followed by selective magnetic flocculation, desliming, and magnetic separation. The iron concentrate was pelletized in a laboratory-scale pelletizer. Each technology has been assessed with regard to the mass yield of iron concentrate, the iron recovery. and the iron, lead, and zinc content in order to identify the most effective route. Keywords: tailings reprocessing, magnetizing roasting, pelletization.
