Klochkovskiy S.P., Smirnov A.N., Savchenko I.A. Development of physico-chemical bases of an overall use of high-magnesia siderites

Abstract

This article contains results of research which may be used as a basis for modernization of a currently applied technology or development of a basic technology for integrated processing of high-magnesia siderites, which satisfies current environmental requirements. It is fount that the application of the developed principles for processing of siderite ores of the Bakal deposit allows us to produce both an iron ore concentrate with the content of iron up to 60% (in comparison with 50-52% of iron using the applied technology) and magnesia with the content of magnesium oxide higher than 98%.

Keywords

Siderite ore, magnesium oxide, roasting, leaching, carbonic acid, magnesioferrite, magnesiowustite, X-ray structure analysis.
