Problems solved by technology

However, because iron is wrapped or mixed with other minerals in red mud, there are problems such as low iron concentrate grade (~63%) and low iron recovery rate (~90%), which is not conducive to the comprehensive utilization of tailings. Producer gas or blast furnace gas and kiln exhaust gas mixed gas equipment required by strictly controlled gas composition
[0005] The method of smelting iron from red mud mainly adopts the electric furnace method, which has the disadvantages of low thermal efficiency of electric furnace ironmaking and large power consumption

Embodiment 1

[0024] The solid waste red mud produced by alumina is dried, and the dried red mud is crushed, the particle size is ≤0.15mm, the water content is 1-2%, and the red mud pellets of ? Exhaust gas is used to dry the red mud balls until the water content is less than or equal to 1%. The dry red mud balls are mixed with coke, limestone and dolomite according to the following ratio: red mud 60kg, coke 30kg, limestone 5kg, dolomite 3kg, directly add into the blast furnace, and at the same time, the blower blows air into the blast furnace. The air passes through the hot blast stove and heats the air to 450°C, so that the smelting temperature in the blast furnace reaches 1500-1650°C, and the temperature of slag and iron is 1400-1450°C. The obtained product Pig iron and slag will be comprehensively utilized in the future.

[0025] After testing, the obtained metallic iron is of good quality, including Fe: 94.164%, C: 3.86%, Si: 0.36%, Mn: 0.11%, P: 0.025%, S: 0.054%.

Embodiment 2

[0027] Example 2, the solid waste red mud produced by alumina is dried, the water content is 9-10%, the dried red mud is crushed, the particle size is ≤0.15mm, and the red mud pellets of ?30 are obtained through 50kN pressure. The tail gas of the blast furnace ironmaking is dried to the red mud balls until the water content is ≤1%, and the dry red mud balls are mixed with coke, limestone and dolomite according to the following ratio: 80kg red mud, 20kg coke, 10kg dolomite, directly Add it into the blast furnace, and at the same time blow air into the blast furnace from the blower. The air passes through the hot blast stove and heats the air to 1100°C, so that the smelting temperature in the blast furnace reaches 1500-1650°C, and the temperature of slag and iron is 1400-1480°C. carry out subsequent comprehensive utilization.

[0028] After testing, the obtained metallic iron is of good quality, including Fe: 94.164%, C: 3.82%, Si: 0.41%, Mn: 0.41%, P: 0.087%, S: 0.052%.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for recycling iron from waste red mud in alumina production. The method is characterized in that waste red mud in alumina production is dried, the moisture content after drying ranges from 1% to 10%, the particle size of the smashed red mud is less than or equal to 0.15mm, and the red mud is manufactured into pellets of 15mm to 50mm under the pressure ranging from 10kN to 70kN. Heat produced by blast furnace gas burning is used to dry the red mud pellets to be with a moisture content less than or equal to 1%, then the dried red mud pallets, coke, limestone and dolomite are mixed according to the proportion and added into a blast furnace to be smelted directly, finally the mixture is separated through iron slag to obtain metallic iron and slag, iron can directly serve as a steel-making material, and the slag can be recycled for subsequent comprehensive utilization. According to the method, industrial waste serves as a main material, environmental pollution is reduced, and the waste can be recycled; and the method has the advantages that the quality of the recycled iron is good, the iron recovery rate is high and can achieve more than 98%, the technological process is simple, the production is easily achieved, and tailings after iron removal are easily processed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of alumina production red mud treatment technology, and in particular relates to a process method for directly recovering valuable metal iron from red mud, which is solid waste produced by diaspore Bayer process alumina. Background technique [0002] In the production of diaspore Bayer process alumina, bauxite is mixed with lime and circulating lye to make qualified pulp and then dissolved. Under the action of high temperature and high pressure, the alumina in the ore enters the solution, and its insoluble matter is red mud. After the dissolution, the ore pulp is diluted and settled for solid-liquid separation, and the bottom flow red mud slurry produced is reverse washed three times, filtered to recover the attached alkali, and then discharged. The production of 1 ton of alumina will produce 1.1 to 1.5 tons of red mud. With the rapid development of the alumina industry in recent years, the global annual al...
