Reduction and subsequent carburization of pre-oxidation magnetite pellets

Magnetite is a kind of iron ore that is difficult to carburize.In order to improve the carburizing performance of magnetite pellet,pre-oxidation treatment was carried out,and the oxidation,reduction and carburization behaviors of magnetite pellet were investigated in this study.The magnetite pellet was oxidized in the air and carburized in CO-CO_(2)-H_(2) gas mixtures,the oxidation,reduction and carburization behaviors were demonstrated by detecting phase change,microstructure,carburizing index via thermogravimetry,X-ray diffraction(XRD),infrared carbon-sulfur analyzer,and scanning electron microscope(SEM).The results show that the dense magnetite particles inside pellet are oxidized to porous hematite particles,and the Fe_(3)O_(4) transforms to Fe_(2)O_(3) with high lattice defect concentration during the pre-oxidation process.Then the porous hematite particles and newly formed Fe_(2)O_(3) significantly promote the reduction efficiency.Porous metallic iron particles are produced in the reduction process.Finally,both high reduction efficiency and the porous structure of metallic iron particles dramatically enhance the carburization efficiency of pellet.High preoxidation temperature favors to the carburization of magnetite pellet.However,the carburized index decreases due to the recrystallization of iron oxide when the temperature extends to 1000℃.The optimum pre-oxidation temperature for magnetite pellet carburization is 900℃.

△P index with different gas compositions for instantaneous outburst prediction in coal mines

In this study we measured the △P(initial speed of gas emission) index with different gas concentrations of carbon dioxide(pure CO2,90% CO2+10% CH4,67% CO2+33% CH4,50% CO2+50% CH4,30% CO2+10% CH4 and pure CH4) of coal samples from the No.2 coal seam in the Yaojie Coal Mine,Gansu province,China.The effect of carbon dioxide concentration,gas composition,coal strength and particle size of coal samples on the △P index was investigated.The experimental results show that with gas of various compositions,the △P value of three samples were clearly different.The △P index of coal samples A,B and C(0.2～0.25 mm) were 4,6 and 7 with pure CH4 and 22,30 and 21 when pure CH4 was used.Carbon dioxide concentration affects the △P index markedly.The △P index increases with an increase in carbon dioxide concentration,especially for coal B.Hence,the △P index and K(another outburst index) values tested only with pure CH4 for prediction of the danger of outburst is not accurate.It is important to determine the initial speed of gas emission given the gas composition of the coal seam to be tested for exact outburst prediction.

Spontaneous combustion tendency of fresh and pre-oxidized sulfide ores

Three representative sulfide ore samples were collected from typical metal mines,and their corresponding pre-oxidized products were obtained under nature environment.The thermal behaviors of each sample at heating rates of 5,10,15 and 20 °C/min in air flow from ambient temperature to 800 °C were studied by simultaneous thermal analysis and the TG/DSC curves before and after the pre-oxidation were compared.By the peak temperature of DTG curves,the whole reaction process for each sample was divided into different stages,and the apparent activation energies were calculated by the Ozawa-Flynn-Wall method.The results show that the reaction process of each sample after pre-oxidation is more complex,with quicker reaction rates,fewer heat production quantities,and higher or lower ignition-points.The apparent activation energies decrease from 364.017-474.228 kJ/mol to 244.523- 333.161 kJ/mol.Therefore,sulfide ores are more susceptible to spontaneous combustion after the pre-oxidation.

Application of reflux classifier with closely spaced inclined channels in pre-concentrate process of fine antimony oxide particles

In this work,the reflux classifier with closely spaced inclined channels is used as the pre-concentration facility to improve the separation efficiency before the shaking table separation.Three operating parameters of reflux classifier(RC)to pre-concentrate fine(0.023−0.15 mm)tailings of antimony oxide were optimized by response surface methodology(RSM)using a three-level Box-Behnken design(BBD).The parameters studied for the optimization were feeding speed,underflow,and ascending water speed.Second-order response functions were produced for the Sb grade and recovery rate of the concentrate.Taking advantage of the quadratic programming,when the factors of feeding,underflow and ascending water are respectively 225,30 and 133 cm^3/min,a better result can be achieved for the concentrate grade of 2.31% and recovery rate of 83.17%.At the same time,70.48% of the tailings with the grade of 0.20% were discarded out of the feeding.The results indicated that the reflux classifier has a good performance in dealing with fine tailings of antimony oxide.Moreover,second-order polynomial equations,ANOVA,and three-dimensional surface plots were developed to evaluate the effects of each parameter on Sb grade and recovery rate of the concentrate.

Mechanism of high pressure roll grinding on compression strength of oxidized hematite pellets

The mechanism of high pressure roll grinding on improvement of compression strength of oxidized hematite pellets was researched by considering their roasting properties. The results indicate that oxidized hematite pellets require higher preheating temperature and longer preheating time to attain required compression strength of pellets compared with the common magnetite oxidized pellets. It is found that when the hematite concentrates are pretreated by high pressure roll grinding （HPRG）, the compression strengths of preheated and roasted oxidized hematite pellets get improved even with lower preheating and roasting temperatures and shorter preheating and roasting time. The mechanism for HPRG to improve roasting properties of oxidized pellets were investigated and the cause mainly lies in the increase of micro-sized particles and the decrease of dispersion degree for hematite concentrates, which promotes the hematite concentrate particles to be compacted, the solid-phase crystallization, and finally the formation of Fe203 bonding bridges during subsequent high temperature roasting process.

Effect of chloride ion on bacterial pre-oxidation of arsenic-containing gold concentrate

The bacterial pre-oxidation process of arsenic-containing gold concentrates and the bacterial activity under different chloride ion concentrations were studied by using a mixture of thermophilic strains TCJ domesticated in production.The experimental result shows that with different samples and leaching systems,the adaptability and Cl- tolerance of bacteria are different,and that appropriate chloride ion concentration is conductive to bacterial oxidation,while higher chloride ion concentration will inhibit the bacterial activity and affect the pre-oxidation performance.Under the present production conditions,TCJ can adapt to the changes of water quality in the source of water and its critical chloride ion tolerance value is 2.7 g/L.

Studies on Environmentally Friendly Leaching Processes in China

The newly developed green leaching processes for chromium, lead and gold extraction from ores or concentrates are described. The chromium is extracted from the iron chromite ore with fused sodium hydroxide at 500-550℃ as sodium chromate. The galena in lead sulfide concentrate is converted into lead carbonate in ammonium or sodium carbonate solution at 50-80℃ followed by the separation of lead carbonate formed from the unconverted sulfide ores by flotation. Gold associated with sulfide ore (such as pyrite and chalcopyrite) can be extracted into sodium thiosulfate solution without any pretreatment such as roasting, high pressure aqueous oxidation or bacteria pre-leaching.

Reduction behaviour of Odisha Sands Complex,India ilmenite-coke composite pellets

Presently,ilmenite concentrates from Odisha Sands Complex at Chhatrapur,India are utilized to produce TiO2 slag by direct smelting in an electric arc furnace.However,the process involves the consumption of excess electrical energy and difficulty in handling the arc furnace due to frothing effects.A more efficient process of pre-reducing the ilmenite before smelting has been proposed in the present communication.In particular,studies have been undertaken on the reduction process of ilmenite-coke composite pellets.The difference in the reduction behaviour of raw ilmenite and ilmenite-coke composite pellets has been established and compared with that of the pre-oxidized raw pellets.The effects of various processing parameters like temperature,residence time,and reductant percentage on the metallization of composite pellets in a static bed have been investigated.Metallization of about 90%has been achieved at 1250°C for a reduction period of 360 min with a 4%coke composition.Furthermore,the reduced pellets have been characterized through chemical analysis,optical microscopy,field emission scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis.The reduction behaviour of composite pellets has also been found better than that of pre-oxidized pellets indicating the former to be more efficient.

Prediction of rotary drilling penetration rate in iron ore oxides using rock engineering system

Prediction of the drilling penetration rate is one of the important parameters in mining operations. This parameter has a direct impact on the mine planning and cost of mining operations, Generally, effective parameters on the penetration rate is divided into two classes： rock mass properties and specifications of the machine, The chemical components of intact rock have a direct effect in determining rock mechan- ical properties, Theses parameters usually have not been investigated in any research on the rock drill- ability, In this study, physical and mechanical properties of iron ore were studied based on the amount of magnetite percent, According to the results of the tests, the effective parameters on the pen- etration rate of the rotary drilling machines were divided into three classes： specifications of the machi- nes, rock mass properties and chemical component of intact rock, Then, the rock drillahility was studied using rock engineering systems, The results showed that feed, rotation, rock mass index and iron oxide percent have important effect on penetration rate, Then a quadratic equation with 0,896 determination coefficient has been obtained, Also, the results showed that chemical components can he described as new parameters in rotary drill penetration rate,
