Research of Magnetizing Roasting of Iron Ore Before Beneficiation and Dephosphorizing

There are quite a lot of iron ore deposits in the world with increased (0.75%) phosphorus content, which is an obstacle to their involving in production. Research of removal of detrimental impurities from such iron ores has a great prospect. On the experimental base of OJSC VNIIMT, it was studied dephosphorizing technology at which after preliminary magnetizing roasting and subsequent dephosphorization of iron ore with aqueous solution of sulfuric acid the least residual phosphorus content in concentrate was observed. Research of influence of temperature and duration of magnetizing roasting on iron content and residual phosphorus content in dephosphorized concentrate was studied. The influence of specific consumption of solid reductant (brown coal) on the quality of magnetite concentrate was also studied. Based on the results of the experiment, the optimal technological parameters of magnetizing roasting of iron ore before beneficiation and subsequentdephosphorization were selected.
