The dual effect of sodium-salt-assisted reductive roasting for iron recovery and chromium enrichment from lateritic iron ore was investigated. Iron oxides were reduced to metallic iron through reductive roasting, while Al- and Si-bearing components were transformed to sodium aluminosilicate and/or diaoyudaoite. Thus, direct reduced iron (DRI) was recovered by magnetic separation, while Cr(III) element...
In our previous study, an intermediate material enriched with multiple rare earth elements (REEs, e.g., La2O3, Ce2O3, Sc2O3, and Y2O3) and TiO2 was obtained after removing iron, silica, and alumina from bauxite residues. For valorization of this valuable intermediate material, the selective leaching and separation of REEs and TiO2 by phosphoric acid leaching was investigated. Approximately 90% of...
A technical route has been proposed to upgrade diasporic bauxite ores for iron and alumina enrichment based on reductive roasting, followed by magnetic separation and alkaline leaching. The thermodynamic analysis revealed that by reductive roasting of the bauxite ore at 980–1100°C, hematite in the ore is transformed to magnetite and kaolinite is converted into γ-Al2O3 and SiO2 (amorphous). Meanwhile,...
In this study, extraction of aluminum-, iron-, and titanium-bearing constituents from diaspore-type bauxite ores was investigated by stepwise treatment consisting of pre-desilication via alkali-leaching of bauxite ore, extraction of alumina via Bayer process, and recovery of iron from red mud via magnetic separation. The pre-desilication results showed that the removal of silica reached 73.92% and...
The correlations between phase evolution, fusion behavior, and Ni-Fe granules growth of laterite ore–CaO mixtures during reductive roasting have been investigated. The minimum melting point of 1220°C of the CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 system with 17–36 wt.% CaO is demonstrated via phase diagram analysis, and this point is decreased in the presence of FeO. This reveals that the fusion behavior in close association...
The sintering behaviors of saprolitic nickeliferous laterite with various quaternary basicities [(CaO + MgO)/(SiO2 + Al2O3) mass ratio] in a reductive atmosphere are investigated by simulative sintering and validated by sintering pot tests. The simulative sintering results show that the generation of diopside (CaMgSi2O6) with low melting point is the key reason for the decrease in characteristic fusion...
Both the consumption and production of crude stainless steel in China rank first in the world. In 2011, the nickel production in China amounted to 446 kilotons, with the proportion of electrolytic nickel and nickel pig iron (NPI) registering 41.5% and 56.5%, respectively. NPI is a low-cost feedstock for stainless steel production when used as a substitute for electrolytic nickel. The existing commercial...
