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.

Iron Ore Dephosphorization of Gara Djebilet Deposit By Hydrometallurgical Method

For industrial use, iron-ore concentrates shall correspond to definite requirements regarding both basic substance content – iron as well as phosphorus content. Decreased phosphorus content in iron-ore concentrate can be received by the method of hydrometallurgy (desalinization of phosphorus by mineral acid). On theexperimental base of OJSC VNIIMT, a laboratory research was carried out regarding iron ore dephosphorization; as a result maximum possible content of phosphorus was obtained in a final product. The optimal technological parameters of sulphuric acid desalinization were defined that have an effect on quality of phosphorus removal of iron ore magnetite concentrate: size degradation of roasted concentrate; phosphorus removal duration; pulp heating temperature effect; sulphuric acid-specific consumption.
