硼镁铁矿分离铁/硼并制备硼酸的集成化工艺的放大验证

摘要: 硼铁矿是我国特色的战略矿产资源,其高效综合利用对于保障我国工业与国防军工的健康可持续发展至关重要。本研究提出并验证了一种从硼铁混合精矿中分离硼和铁,并制备还原铁粉和高纯硼酸的放大集成工艺。该工艺包括在回转窑中钠化还原焙烧,随后进行磨浸、磁选和分步结晶。优化条件下,硼浸出率为70.23%,磁选精矿中铁品位为94.12wt%,铁回收率为93.35%,获得的还原铁粉可作为短流程炼钢的原料。随后,通过用硫酸调节pH值,利用富硼液制备了具有规则形貌的高纯硼酸(纯度 > 99wt%),并研究了过程的溶液化学行为。该集成工艺为硼铁复合矿石的高效、环境友好型利用提供了一种有前景的方法。

 

Scale-up validation of an integrated process for boron/iron separation and boric acid preparation from ludwigite ore

Abstract: Ludwigite ore is a strategic mineral resource unique to China. Its efficient and comprehensive utilization is of paramount importance for ensuring the healthy and sustainable development of China’s industry and national defense security. This study presents and validates a scale-up integrated process for separating boron and iron from boron–iron mixed concentrate (BIMC) and producing reduced iron powder and high-purity boric acid. The process involves reductive soda-ash roasting in a rotary kiln, followed by wet-grinding, magnetic separation, and fractional crystallization. Under optimized parameters, the process achieved a boron leaching efficiency of 70.23%, an iron grade in the magnetic concentrate of 94.12wt%, and a corresponding recovery of 93.35%. The recovered reduced iron powder can be used as feed for short-process steelmaking. The boron-rich liquor was then used to prepare high-purity boric acid (>99wt%) with a regular morphology by adjusting the pH with sulfuric acid, and the corresponding aqueous chemical behaviors were investigated. This integrated process offers a promising approach for the efficient and environmentally friendly utilization of boron–iron complex ore.
