The invention relates to a method for preparing high-iron
bauxite pellets. The method comprises the steps that
bauxite is grinded, specifically, the high-iron
bauxite is grinded to obtain bauxite
powder; blending is carried out, specifically, 3-5 wt% of
calcium hydroxide powder and 4.5-5.5 wt% of
sodium hydroxide powder are added to the bauxite powder, and a mixed material is obtained; pelleting is carried out, specifically, the mixed material is added to a disc pelletizer, water is added to the mixed material, fresh
pellets can be obtained through pelleting, the pelleting process sequentially comprises the three stages of formation of master
pellets, growth of the master pellets and formation of the fresh pellets, and the inclination
angle alpha of a disc of the disc pelletizer is 44-46 degrees, 48-52 degrees and 56-60 degrees in the stage of formation of the master pellets, the stage of growth of the master pellets and the stage of formation of the fresh pellets correspondingly;
drying is carried out, specifically, the dried fresh pellets are obtained after
drying; and
calcination is carried out, specifically, the pellets are obtained by calcinating the dried fresh pellets. According to the method, the pelleting process is carried out by stages, the obtained fresh pellets are smooth in surface and compact inside, pulverization is avoided, and the high-iron bauxite pellets have high
compressive strength and can be applied industrially on a large scale.
