Hydrogen-based phase transformation and separation of high iron and low manganese ores

  • 摘要: 锰铁矿石是锰、铁选冶的重要原料,由于类质同象及微细粒嵌布等因素影响,锰与铁难以实现高效分离并综合利用. 针对高铁低锰矿石制定了氢基矿相转化–磁选工艺流程,并考察了焙烧温度、焙烧时间、还原气体体积分数及总气量对锰铁分离及二价锰转化率效果的影响. 结果表明,在焙烧温度660 ℃、CO与H2体积比1∶3、焙烧时间30 min、还原气体体积分数60%、总气量500 mL·min–1、磁场强度8.51×104 A·m–1的条件下,可获得铁品位55.24%、回收率91.07%的铁精矿及全锰品位34.80%、回收率77.11%、二价锰转化率88.79%的锰精矿. 化学成分分析、X射线衍射(XRD)分析、扫描电子显微镜-能谱分析(SEM-EDS)均表明锰矿物与铁矿物实现了有效的分离,原矿中的主要金属矿物褐铁矿、软锰矿转化为磁铁矿、金属铁和方锰矿,二氧化硅等脉石矿物主要富集在锰精矿中. 研究表明,通过控制氢基矿相转化工艺条件,锰精矿中二价锰含量显著提高,铁矿物和锰矿物可实现高效分离,且实现了原矿石全组分利用及无尾选矿的目的. 氢基矿相转化技术为高铁低锰矿石的清洁高效利用提供了新方法,有望实现铁锰矿物高温还原过程的异步转化和同步分离,达到“源头减量、高效转化、精准回收”的目标,实现良好的经济效益和社会效益.

     

    Abstract: Ferromanganese ore is an important raw material for the beneficiation and smelting of manganese and iron. The efficient separation of manganese and iron is challenging due to the isomorphism and dispersion of fine particles. The process of hydrogen-based mineral phase transformation and magnetic separation was developed, and the effects of roasting temperature, roasting time, reduction gas concentration, and total gas flow on the separation of ferromanganese and the rate of conversion of divalent manganese were investigated. Iron concentrate with 55.24% iron grade and 91.07% recovery and manganese concentrate with 34.80% manganese grade, 77.11% recovery, and 88.79% conversion of Mn2+ were obtained under the roasting temperature of 660 ℃, roasting duration of 30 min, volume ratio of carbon monoxide to hydrogen of 1∶3, reduction gas volume fraction of 60%, total gas flow rate of 500 mL·min–1, and magnetic field intensity of 8.51 × 104 A·m–1. Chemical composition analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, and scanning electron microscope-energy dispersion spectra (SEM-EDS) analysis confirmed the effective separation of manganese and iron minerals. The raw ore was mainly composed of limonite, pyrolusite, and quartz. Most weakly magnetic iron ores were transformed into strong magnetic iron minerals after suspension magnetization roasting, whereas pyrolusite was transformed into manganosite after reduction roasting. The primary iron mineral in the iron concentrate was magnetite, containing a small amount of metallic iron. The main manganese mineral in manganese concentrate was manganosite, and the gangue mineral was quartz. Due to the remarkable differences in the magnetic properties of the iron and manganese minerals, efficient separation was achieved through magnetic means. The content of divalent manganese in the manganese concentrate was increased considerably by controlling the process conditions during the hydrogen-based mineral phase transformation, enabling the manganese mineral to be extracted easily by leaching. Thus, the goal of full component utilization of the raw ore and tailless beneficiation was achieved. This novel approach for the clean and efficient utilization of high iron and low manganese ores holds promise for the conversion and synchronous separation of the iron and manganese minerals, achieving the goal of “source reduction, efficient conversion, and precise recovery,” and achieving excellent economic and social benefits.
