Abstract

The new technological decisions allowing to achieve utilization of red slimes maximum quantity, to carry out the comparative analysis of various options and schemes of pyrometallurgical processing of red slimes are developed. Laboratory researches on determination of metallurgical properties and technology of high-basic agglomerate sintering are carried out in red mud adding from 1 to 3% into furnace charge of agglofactory of «KGOK EVRAZ». It has been studied that positive impact of sinter durability improvement in red slime using is practically leveled by decrease in the general content of iron in furnace charge. To save iron content at the level of basic values in furnace charge of blast furnace smelting it has been offered to use some options.
