A technology for suspension magnetization roasting−magnetic separation was proposed to separate iron minerals for recovery. The optimum parameters were as follows: a roasting temperature of 650 °C, a roasting time of 20 min, a CO concentration of 20%, and particles with a size less than 37 μm accounting for 67.14% of the roasted product.

The flotation of diasporic bauxite is to separate diaspore (valuable mineral) from aluminosilicate minerals (gangue minerals, mainly including kaolinite, illite and pyrophyllite), and the microscopic interaction force between the two types of minerals and air bubbles determines the separation efficiency.

The separation of the alumina from the impurities in the bauxite ore is usually accomplished by the Bayer Process. In this process the ground bauxite is leached with caustic soda (NaOH) to produce soluble sodium aluminate (NaAlO2), leaving the impurities in the insoluble residue. The aluminate solution is then decomposed producing …

BSS may be operated in different configurations including in multiple stages of separation to either enhance bauxite recovery or improve the grade of the bauxite mineral rich product. For example, a BSS can consist of a first stage or rougher stage separation, which generates two products, a bauxite rich mineral product or concentrate and a ...

Bauxite may become unstable when carried in bulk on a ship, potentially causing the vessel to capsize. Research presented to IMO found that certain forms of bauxite with a large proportion of smaller particles could be subject to a newly-identified phenomenon of "dynamic separation" when there is excess moisture in the cargo.

This separation can be done either physically, via gravity separation, electrostatic separation, and magnetic separation, or chemically, using froth flotation, leaching, and electrowinning. Unusable minerals, which are often discarded into dams, are called tailing. In order to understand the benefits of dry mineral processing, you must first ...

It contained the gibbsite and the iron and titanium bearing minerals. The concentrate was further upgraded by magnetic separation, leading to 54.0% available alumina, with an alumina/insoluble silica mass ratio of 12.6 at an overall available alumina recovery of 69.3% in the final concentrate (non-magnetic product).

This often requires more complicated processes, such as the use of a high-intensity wet magnetic separator, with fine grinding of bauxite to liberate the iron …

Bauxite sample of Jamnagar, India, is suitable for refractory applications after separation of iron minerals. Different magnetic separators and intensities are studied on different treated samples.

1. Introduction. It is well known that almost all of the metallurgical alumina (Al 2 O 3) production in the world has been obtained through the Bayer process used bauxite as a primarily raw material.Bauxite is the name of a mineral group composed mostly of gibbsite (Al(OH) 3), boehmite (γ-AlO(OH)) and diaspore (α-AlO(OH)) as hydrated …

Results showed that when roasting at 650 °C for 120 s, the desulfurization efficiency was up to 76.98%, while the residual sulfur in the roasted ore was found to be 0.07%. HU et al [24] roasted high-sulfur bauxite ore at 600 °C for 60 min, and the dissolution test was performed at 240 °C and roasted for 60 min.

It was found that starch was an effective depressant for diaspore at around pH 10. This is further proved by reverse flotation separation of artificial mixed minerals and bench scale flotation of bauxite ore. Open circuit revere flotation tests obtained the concentrates with Al 2 O 3 recovery of 73% and Al to Si mass ratio more than 9.5.

Actually, the economic separation and utilization of iron minerals from bauxite or red mud is a long-term research hotspot, which attracts much attention in the field of alumina production. There are many methods proposed for separating iron minerals from bauxite or red mud, which can be mainly divided into the following two categories.

Generally, froth flotation as an enhanced, less costly environmental achievable physical separation method has been employed to increase the mass ratio of Al/Si for adequate purification and pretreatment of diaspore before the low grade material feeds to the Bayer process (Feng et al., 2009 ). Associated gangue minerals in bauxite ores are …

Because the desired product is a high purity Al2O3, the remaining oxides in the bauxite (Fe2O3, SiO2 and TiO2) and organic material are separated from the Al2O3 and rejected as alumina refinery residues (ARR) or red mud via the Bayer process.

Recovering iron from the bauxite residue (BR) is one of the long-standing challenges in the mining industry.
