哪些加工路线可以优化钛铁矿精矿品位？

2025年12月24日

优化钛铁矿（FeTiO₃）精矿的品位涉及一系列矿物处理流程，旨在去除不需要的脉石材料，并最大化二氧化钛（TiO₂）含量。以下是通常用于提高钛铁矿精矿品位的关键处理流程：

物理选矿技术

• 重力分离:
  用于利用铝铁矿与废石矿物之间的密度差异。技术包括：

  • 螺旋浓缩器：有效分离较重的矿物，如钛铁矿，与较轻的硅酸盐或石英。
  • 摇床：利用粒子的密度和大小差异来精炼精矿。
  • 多重重力分离器（MGS）：用于细粒回收。

• 磁选:
  钛铁矿通常是顺磁性的，这使其能够与非磁性矿石分离。技术包括：

  • 低强度磁选 (LIMS)：针对混合矿石中的ferromagnetic材料。
  • 高强度磁选（HIMS）：对弱磁性钛铁矿更有效，特别是对于细颗粒，其中如硅酸盐等脉石矿物可能会干扰。

• 静电分离:
  用于根据其导电特性分离钛铁矿。钛铁矿相比于非导电的脉石矿物具有导电性，这使得静电分离器能够提高精矿品位。

2. 浮选

浮选技术可以通过使用适当的表面活性剂和收集剂将钛铁矿颗粒与伴生的脉石矿物分离。关键点包括：

• 直接浮选: Ilmenite is floated, and the silicate gangue is depressed using depressants.
• 反浮选: The gangue material is floated, leaving behind a concentrate rich in ilmenite.

3. Chemical or Thermal Upgrading

• Rutile Conversion Process (Upgrading Ilmenite to Synthetic Rutile):
  Processes that remove iron oxide and increase the TiO₂ content include:

  • 酸浸: Ilmenite is treated with sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid to dissolve iron impurities.
  • Smelting (Thermal Reduction): Involves high-temperature reduction of ilmenite with carbon to remove iron oxide (FeO) and leave a titanium-rich slag.
  • Becher Process: Uses reduction and aeration reactions to remove iron oxide and enhance TiO₂ content.

• Alkali Roasting:
  Involves roasting ilmenite with alkali salts like sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide, followed by leaching to remove silicon and iron impurities.

4. Pre-Removal of Impurities

Improving the efficiency of the purification processes by pre-removing impurities like:

• Clay Desliming: Using cyclones or hydrocyclones to remove fine clay particles that may hinder beneficiation.
• Pre-Grinding: Breaking down the feed material to liberate ilmenite from gangue minerals at an optimal particle size.

5. 高级技术

• Microwave Pretreatment:
  Enhances magnetic properties through selective phase transformation, particularly when ilmenite is associated with hematite.
• 生物浸出:
  Leverages microorganisms to alter the chemistry of gangue or ilmenite, aiding in grade improvements.
• 等离子熔炼:
  Uses plasma energy to achieve high temperatures for direct reduction of ilmenite and gangue removal.

Factors Influencing Optimization

• 矿物特性 : Different ilmenite ores (e.g., hard rock vs. sand deposits) require customized processing routes.
• 粒径 : Grinding and classification adjustments can enhance liberation efficiency.
• 脉石矿物成分: Tailoring techniques based on whether gangue minerals are silicates, oxides, or sulfates.
• Process Integration: Combining methods (e.g., magnetic separation followed by flotation) often yields superior results.

By selecting, optimizing, and integrating the above processing techniques, ilmenite concentrate grades can typically be optimized to meet commercial specifications (e.g., >50-55% TiO₂ for synthetic rutile production or specialized pigment manufacturing).
