Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, Baotou Steel can select niobium concentrate with niobium grade greater than 5% and iron grade greater than 40% after sorting, and then through "solid reduction of iron-high temperature The low-grade ferroniobium with a niobium content of 15-20% is obtained by the method of melting and smelting. This method has high energy consumption, serious pollution and high cost.

example

[0025] The niobium concentrate is gradually processed under the process conditions given in the "high-temperature roasting-weak magnetic separation" method.

[0026] The niobium concentrate in this example comes from the niobium concentrate selected in the "Baiyun Obo Tailings Comprehensive Utilization" project.

[0027] Table 1 shows the multi-element analysis of niobium concentrate (mass percentage)

[0028]

[0029] Using the solid-state reduction method, the coke is mixed with 90% of the total amount of minerals. The TFe content in the niobium concentrate is 43.5%, Nb 2 O 5 The content is 5.75%, heated in a muffle furnace, the heating time is calculated according to the quality of the mineral, is 10min / g, the temperature is 1200℃, and the TFe content is 51.06%, Nb after roasting 2 O 5 Reduced niobium concentrate with a content of 6.74%.

[0030] The reduced niobium concentrate is ground to a 200-mesh content of 70%, and magnetically separated in a weak magnetic tube with a magnetic...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for enriching niobium by high-temperature roasting and low-intensity magnetic separation and belongs to the technical field of mineral extraction metallurgy. The method comprises the following steps: performing solid-state reduction of a niobium ore concentrate to obtain a reduced ore containing the niobium and metal iron; ball-milling the reduced ore containing the niobium and the metal iron and then performing low-intensity magnetic separation to obtain a niobium-rich material. According to the method disclosed by the invention, iron oxide in the niobium ore concentration is selectively reduced in a solid state, so that the metal transformation rate is above 90%; by reduction of the iron oxide, a mineral structure of niobium-iron rutile in the original ore is damaged; subsequently niobium oxide can be separated from the metal iron by low-intensity magnetic separation; finally the content of iron in the obtained niobium-rich material is lower than 8%; compared with the original 'solid-state iron reduction-high-temperature melt separation-smelting' method, the method disclosed by the invention can be used for preparing the niobium-rich material of which the iron content is basically the same and also has the advantages of saving power consumption, reducing emission and improving the efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a high-temperature roasting-weak magnetic separation enrichment method for niobium, which belongs to the technical field of mineral extraction and metallurgy.
