磁铁矿原矿单轴挤压破碎力学过程与声发射特征

为研究磁铁矿原矿挤压破碎机理,采用TAW-3000电液伺服岩石三轴试验机和PCI-2声发射检测系统,进行磁铁矿原矿单轴挤压破碎试验,分析磁铁矿原矿单轴挤压破碎的力学过程和声发射特征。试验结果表明,裂隙压缩阶段的变形量占总变形量的45%,弹性变形阶段和裂隙扩展阶段应力与峰值应力的比值范围大于一般坚硬岩石在相同阶段的应力比值范围;不同阶段之间转变时,声发射信号会出现大幅度跃升或下降,之后出现一段时间的平静期;声发射振铃计数率和事件计数率在各阶段的变化规律相反,能量计数率跃升反映试件发生显著破坏,能量计数率的最大值不一定发生在峰值应力过后的某一时刻,振铃计数率、事件计数率和能量计数率的变化特征可反映试件损伤、破裂和破碎的发展过程和发生速率;累积振铃计数的增长率在时间上表现出先增大后减小的发展特征,累积事件计数的增长率之相反,各加载阶段声发射信号参数表现的时域特征与力学变形破碎特征基本一致。

Transformation of hematite in diasporic bauxite during reductive Bayer digestion and recovery of iron

The reductive Bayer digestion by using iron powder as reductant is proposed to convert hematite to magnetite and further to dissociate iron minerals from sodium aluminosilicate hydrate(desilication product,DSP)based on the differences of their surface properties.The results show that the differences of surface properties between magnetite and DSP in zeta potential,wettability and solvation trend facilitate magnetite to agglomerate,grow up and thus to dissociate from DSP.The increments of reductant amount and alkali concentration favor the transformation of hematite in digestion with the relative alumina recovery of98.91%.Processing the resultant red mud can obtain qualified iron concentrate with iron grade of approximate60%and recovery of about86%through magnetic separation,resulting in reduction of red mud emission higher than70%.The results are potential to develop a novel technology for processing high iron diasporic bauxite efficiently and provide references for comprehensive utilization of high iron red mud.

Galvanic effect of magnetite on electrochemical oxidation of arsenopyrite in acidic culture medium

The galvanic interaction of arsenopyrite−magnetite in acidic culture medium was investigated by electrochemical measurements,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterization and leaching experiments.The results indicated that the rest potential of magnetite was 321 mV,which was more anodic than 223 mV of arsenopyrite,and the galvanic current was 7.40μA,verifying the existence of the galvanic interaction between arsenopyrite and magnetite.The galvanic potential and polarization curves suggested that the redox behaviors of arsenopyrite dominated the overall galvanic interaction.The galvanic interaction enhanced the electrochemical dissolution of arsenopyrite with the generation of more oxidation products(S^(0),SO_(3)^(2−),SO_(4)^(2−)and AsO_(3)^(3−)) on arsenopyrite and an increase in the chemical reactivity of the surface.Leaching experiments of 6 days showed that the presence of magnetite improved the arsenic release from arsenopyrite by 30 mg/L,and further confirmed the enhanced oxidation of arsenopyrite when coupled with magnetite.

Efficient enrichment of nickel and iron in laterite nickel ore by deep reduction and magnetic separation

The process of deep reduction and magnetic separation was proposed to enrich nickel and iron from laterite nickel ores.Results show that nickel-iron concentrates with nickel grade of 6.96%,nickel recovery of 94.06%,iron grade of 34.74%,and iron recovery of 80.44% could be obtained after magnetic separation under the conditions of reduction temperature of 1275℃,reduction time of 50 min,slag basicity of 1.0,carbon-containing coefficient of 2.5,and magnetic field strength of 72 kA/m.Reduction temperature and time affected the possibility of deep reduction and reaction progress.Slag basicity affected the composition of slag in burden and the spilling and enriching rate of nickel-iron from a matrix to form nickel-iron particles.Nickel-iron particles were generated,aggregated,and grew gradually in the reduction process.Nickel-iron particles can be effectively separated from gangue minerals by magnetic separation.

Preparation of titanium mineral from vanadium titanomagnetite concentrates by hydrogen reduction and acid leaching

Titanium mineral was prepared from vanadium titanomagnetite concentrates by hydrogen reduction and acid leaching.The leaching behaviors of elements like Fe,V,Mn,Al,Mg,Ca,and Si were highly related to the reduction degree.The phase compositions of the reduced materials and the leached residues were analyzed by XRD to identify the effect of reduction degree on the leaching mechanisms.The results showed that the concentrates were reduced to iron metal and titanomagnetite at 800-1000°C for 0.5 h,and the above elements of Fe and impurities were easily leached.Deeper reduction led to the formation of ilmenite and Mg-Al spinel,which hindered leaching.Mg-bearing anosovite appeared in the further reduced materials,and the leaching rates of impurities became much lower.An upgraded titanium mineral with a normalized TiO_(2) grade of 70.3%was achieved by H_(2) reduction at 850°C for 0.5 h and acid leaching,which is a satisfactory Ti resource for the preparation of titanium oxide by sulfate process.

Effects of basicity and temperature on mineralogy and reduction behaviors of high-chromium vanadium-titanium magnetite sinters

The effects of basicity and temperature on the reduction process of Hongge high-chromium vanadium-titanium magnetite(HCVTM)sinter were investigated in this work.The main characterization methods of X-ray fluorescence(XRF),X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscope(SEM),and metallographic microscope were employed in this study.In this work,the reduction of HCVTM sinter with different temperature and basicity were experimented.The Fe,FeO,and TiO in reductive samples increase with increasing basicity and temperatures.The increase of basicity and temperature is favorable to the reduction of HCVTM sinter.The Fe phase has out-migration tendency to the surface of sinter while the perovskite and silicate phases have in-migration tendency to the inside of sinter.The reduction degradation index(RDI)decreases while the reduction index(RI)increases with increasing basicity.The RI increases from 67.14%to 82.09%with increasing temperature from 1073 K to 1373 K.
