The invention belongs to the technical field of mineral
process engineering, and specifically discloses a sulphur-containing
bauxite gravity concentration and desulphurization method. The sulphur-containing
bauxite gravity concentration and desulphurization method comprises the following steps of: modulating water for sulphur-containing
bauxite mineral
powder and / or a liquid caustic soda solutionand / or seeded
precipitation spent liquor into ore pulp, adopting gravity concentration equipment to perform gravity concentration on the sulphur-containing bauxite ore pulp, and performing gravity concentration to separate and remove sulphur-containing minerals from the sulphur-containing bauxite ore pulp, wherein gravity-concentration operation is any one or two or more of roughing operation, selection operation and
scavenging operation. The sulphur-containing bauxite gravity concentration and desulphurization method adopts a low-cost gravity concentration method to treat sulphur-containing bauxite, and a separation
liquid medium needed in the gravity concentration process is water, liquid caustic soda solution and the seeded
precipitation spent liquor, which is in common use with a solution in an
aluminium oxide production process, and therefore, the generated bauxite concentrate does not need high-cost
filtration operation, only needs simple concentration, and can be directly fed into an
aluminium oxide production process, the production cost of producing bauxite concentrate and an
aluminium oxide product is reduced, and the technical indexes of the
aluminium industry are improved.
