四川某石英砂除铁降钛提纯新工艺研究

Study on a New Purification Process of Quartz Sand in Sichuan Province by Removing Iron and Titanium

为了去除四川某石英砂中的Fe和Ti杂质,提出“重选—浮选—酸浸”的提纯新工艺。石英砂先经重选和浮选进行预选除杂,再经两段酸浸实现精选提纯。重选采用螺旋溜槽一次粗选一次精选去除部分含Fe和Ti重矿物,浮选采用一次粗选一次扫选去除主要含Ti矿物金红石。经选矿除杂后的石英砂在70℃下,经一段盐酸3 mol/L+醋酸1 mol/L+氢氟酸0.5 mol/L、二段盐酸3 mol/L+硫酸1.5 mol/L各酸浸2 h得到最终石英砂精矿。精矿中SiO_(2)含量提高到99.92%;Fe和Ti的含量分别降至0.005%和0.012%,Fe和Ti的综合去除率分别达到91.80%和71.43%。该工艺对四川某石英砂的除铁降钛、深度提纯具有显著效果,对类似石英砂矿石的高效利用具有参考价值。

A new process of“gravity separation-flotation-acid leaching”purification was proposed for the removal of iron and titanium from a quartz sand in Sichuan.Fe and Ti were removed preliminarily from quartz sand by gravity separation and flotation,then purified by two-stage acid leaching.The gravity separation was performed by one roughing-one cleaning two-stage spiral chute to remove Fe and Ti,and the flotation was performed by one roughing-one scavenging to remove rutile mainly containing Ti mineral.Quartz sand was leached firstly with“hydrochloric acid of 3 mol/L+acetic acid of 1 mol/L+hydrofluoric acid of 0.5 mol/L”at 70℃for 2 h,and secondly with“hydrochloric acid of 3 mol/L+sulfuric acid of 1.5 mol/L”to obtain the final concentrate.The content of SiO_(2) increased to 99.92%,Fe and Ti contents decreased to 0.005%and 0.012%respectively,and the removal rate of Fe and Ti reached 91.80%and 71.43%respectively in concentrate.The process has remarkable effect on the removal of iron and titanium in quartz sand,and has reference value for mining and utilization of similar ores.
