Experiments were conducted to investigate the mineral phase transformation technology of high-iron red mud, effectively extracting valuable iron minerals and reducing the hazards associated with red mud stockpiling and storage. A magnetic concentrate with an iron grade of 55.84% and recovery of 93.75% could be obtained at a roasting temperature of 560 °C, roasting time of 15 min, CO concentration of 20% and total gas flow of 500 mL/min. A combination of XRD and SEM-EDS analysis was employed to evaluate the phase transformation during the roasting process. ToF-SIMS analysis was applied to assess the occurrence state of various elements during the roasting of red mud.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
