Abstract
Low-intensity magnetic separation tailings (LIMS tailings) are a common by-product obtained after magnetite magnetic separation. In this article, various techniques such as chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, ICP-MS, and Mineral Liberation Analysis (MLA) were employed to investigate the LIMS tailings. The primary iron-bearing mineral identified was hematite and rare earth minerals were monazite and bastnaesite. The main gangue species was fluorite with small amounts of dolomite and amphibole. Due to the weak magnetism of hematite and rare earth minerals, magnetic separation has low efficiency. However, magnetization roasting-magnetic separation is an effective method to recover hematite. The present study focuses on the separation of iron and rare earth from LIMS tailings through magnetization roasting-magnetic separation. The results demonstrate that with a roasting temperature of 650 °C, a roasting time of 60 min, a slurry concentration solid-liquid ratio of 25 : 1, a rough magnetic field intensity of 0.16 T, and a selected magnetic field intensity of 0.10 T, the iron grade in the magnetic concentrate increases to 65.49 % and an iron recovery rate of 65.16 % can be achieved. The XRD patterns of magnetic separation concentrate show that the main mineral phases in concentrate are magnetite (Fe3 O4 ) and fluorite (CaF2 ), which can be removed by grinding and reverse flotation fluorite to obtain a high-grade iron concentrate. The REO grade of magnetic separation tailings is 11.98 %, and its recovery rate is 97.96 %. Consequently, rare earth can be effectively extracted and separated after the subsequent flotation-leaching process.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:6884. [PMID: 37959481 PMCID: PMC10649733 DOI: 10.3390/ma16216884] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2023] [Revised: 10/22/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023]
Abstract
Extracting iron while minimizing the health and environmental risks associated with arsenic contamination necessitates the removal of arsenic from arsenic-bearing iron ores to ensure a safe and sustainable supply of this metal for industries. The beneficiation of iron minerals and arsenic-bearing minerals from arsenic-bearing iron ores with a calcification-magnetizing roasting and low-intensity magnetic separation (CMR-LMS) process is investigated in this work. The results show that the process is successful in extracting iron minerals and eliminating arsenic-containing minerals. The roasting involves two key steps: calcification and magnetizing, which change hematite and goethite into magnetite and arsenic-bearing minerals into calcium arsenates. The process's separation efficiency of the CMR-LMS is closely linked to the parameters such as roasting temperature, roasting time, coke, alkalinity, and the liberation of gangue minerals from iron minerals. Through grinding and secondary magnetic separation, the iron minerals and gangue components, as well as arsenic, in roasted sand can be further separated. The optimum procedure results in a high-grade iron concentrate with an iron assay of 65.65%, an Fe recovery rate of 80.07%, and an arsenic content of 0.085%, while achieving a 93.29% As removal rate from the original ore that has 45.32% Fe and 0.70% As.

Abstract
Since the birth of cyanidation, it has been dominant in the gold extraction industry. Recently, with the increasing awareness of environmental hazards and potential risks posed by the severe toxicity of cyanide, attempts to seek alternative lixiviants have arisen. Over the past three decades, a significant amount of literature has examined alternative lixiviants to cyanide for recovering gold, while few industrial applications have been reported due to various obstacles, such as toxicity, excessive consumption, or low leaching efficiency. These obstacles are progressively overcome in multiple ways, including process improvement, system optimization, use of co-intensifying systems, and development of additives. In this paper, related studies about alternative lixiviants and methods such as cyanide, thiosulfate, thiourea, thiocyanate, polysulfides, halides, and microbial leaching are summarized. The history, fundamentals, advancements, and challenges of alternative lixiviants are fully concluded to provide a reference for cleaner gold production. In addition, the comprehensive performance of lixiviants was evaluated according to a novel evaluation criterion proposed in terms of economy, efficiency, and environment.

Abstract
Cyanide residues weighing many millions of tons are disposed of in cyanide residue monofills (CRMs) worldwide. The degradation characteristics of cyanide in the anoxic environments of closed landfills may have been overestimated, leading to an underestimation of the long-term risk of cyanide residue landfills. To study the effect, a total of 387 cyanide residue samples were collected for analysis from nine closed CRMs in northen China that have been closed for more than 10 years. The study shows that the probability of achieving the target cyanide concentration (5 mg/L) in the nine sites was only 2.9%. And there is no significant reduction in the overall concentrations compared to the pre-closure period. The effectiveness of the CRM containment barrier needs to be maintained for at least 220 years to allow cyanide concentrations to degrade to harmless levels. Nine CRMs sites, except for CRMs A and B, had a low short-term risk, but in the long term exposure concentrations can exceed the groundwater Class III water quality limit by a factor of 1.64-30, posing a risk of groundwater contamination. This study reveals the risk of cyanide residue degradation in CRMs and its long-term evolution, providing theoretical support for site management and risk control.

Abstract
In order to achieve the clean treatment of refractory cyanide tailings containing sulfur, a novel microwave-assisted chlorination thermal treatment recovery technology was proposed in this paper. On the basis of studying the mineralogy of cyanide tailings, the treatment capacity of common chlorinated agents for refractory cyanide tailings containing sulfur was compared. CaCl2 as the best chlorination agent, gold recovery and chlorine removal rates were 85.2% and 95%, under the optimal conditions. The specific action mechanism of CaCl2 in the process of microwave roasting was studied. Under the action of microwave, CaCl2 accelerated decomposition into chlorine-containing gas and rapidly diffused in cracks caused by thermal stress to ensure gold volatilization and chlorination. Finally, the approach and mechanism of removing residual harmful substances in roasting slag were proposed based on the environmental assessment of roasting slag. Environmental pollution and corrosion of building materials can be effectively avoided in the later transportation and secondary utilization of roasting slag.

Deep Insight on the Occurrence Feature of Iron Minerals in a Cyanide Leaching Residue and Its Effective Recovery with Magnetic Separation. MINERALS 2022.

Abstract
The occurrence features of ultrafine iron minerals in a cyanide leaching residue produced from a superlarge gold mining company in Yunnan Province were determined with chemical composition analysis, iron phase analysis, and mineral liberation analysis (MLA). The results show that the residue contains 26.74% iron, mainly occurring in the form of magnetite (26.33%) and limonite (69.41%), in which 67.40% magnetite and 73.00% limonite particles are fully liberated with particle sizes ranging from 9.6 µm to 75.0 µm. The rest are adjacent and wrapped intergrowths. Low-intensity magnetic separation and pulsating high-gradient magnetic separation were, respectively, proposed to recover magnetite and limonite from the residue, and under the optimized conditions, a high-grade magnetite concentrate assaying 64.05% Fe with 85.59% magnetite recovery and a qualified limonite concentrate assaying 50.94% Fe with 54.33% limonite recovery were, respectively, produced. The iron recovery for −30 µm fraction in the magnetite and limonite concentrates reached as high as 51.46%. It was found that the iron recovery for −30µm ultrafine fraction is lower than those of coarser fractions, as a result of the relatively enhanced hydrodynamic drag acting onto the particles, compared with the magnetic force. Entrainment occurs between the ultrafine iron minerals and gangues, thereby reducing the iron grade for the ultrafine fraction. This research outcome would provide a valuable reference for the economic and effective utilization of iron resources from such residues.

Abstract
At present, the cyanide gold extraction process is still the main technology for gold production. Generated cyanide tailings containing highly toxic substances exhibit potential environmental risks. These tailings are in urgent need of purification treatment, especially after being classified as hazardous waste. In this study, the impacts of elution methods, operating time, tailings/water ratios, reagent types on the elution rates of cyanide were investigated. Furthermore, the composite elution method developed in this research was extended for engineering. Results showed that the optimum elution conditions were determined to be: stirring elution, tailings/water ratio (M/V; 1:1) and operating time (10-20 min). Besides, 4 reagents (sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, cyclodextrin, sodium silicate and calcium hydroxide) were selected from four categories of 21 reagents for further composite elution. The cyanide elution rate was the highest (90.7%±0.1%) while the molar ratio of these 4 reagents was 5:2:2:1. Moreover, the combination of reagent elution and positive pressure filtration improved the elution efficiency of cyanide (92.6%±0.8%). And the cyanide content in the toxic leaching solution was lower than the standard value (5.0 mg/L). Furthermore, the composite elution method developed in this study was also extended for engineering. The concentration of cyanide in the leachate was < 5.0 mg/L, and was stable during 189 days of detection. Notably, the effluent can be reused directly, or reused after further treatment. The zero discharge of effluents and solid wastes was realized in the processes. The above results provided supports for the engineering treatment of cyanide tailings.

Abstract
The increasing demand for iron ore in the world causes the continuous exhaustion of mineral resources. The utilization of iron in secondary resources has become of focus. The present study was carried out to recover iron from high-sulfur cyanide tailings by coal-based reduction roasting-magnetic separation. The mechanism of CaO to increase iron recovery and reduce sulfur was investigated by observing CO and CO2 gas composition produced by the reaction, mineral composition and microstructure, distribution characteristics of sulfur, and the intercalation relationship between iron particles and gangue minerals. The results showed that the addition of CaO could increase the gasification rate of the reducing agent, increase the amount of CO2 gas produced, promote the reduction of iron minerals, and improve the metallization degree of iron. When CaO was not added, sulfur was mainly transformed into troilite, which was closely connected with iron particles and was difficult to remove by grinding and magnetic separation. With the addition of CaO, CaO preferentially formed oldhamite with active sulfur, which reduced the formation of troilite. Oldhamite was basically distributed in an independent gangue structure. There was a clear boundary between iron particles and gangue minerals. Oldhamite could be removed by grinding-magnetic separation.

Abstract
This paper reviews the effects of Pb and Zn impurities and their removal in the ironmaking process. The phase changes during ironmaking were investigated, along with the removal techniques of such impurities and their environmental impact. Results show that distribution of Pb–Zn–Fe in Fe ore is complicated, the particles are fine, and the removal of mineral phase at high temperature is difficult. Therefore, the production and occurrence of Pb and Zn impurities in the ironmaking process were analyzed; such impurities reduced the overall productivity of the process. In addition, the important treatments for the removal of these impurities were investigated. Most of these processes eliminated the Pb and Zn impurities from the dust or sludge, but the main impact of the reduced productivity of the ironmaking process in the furnaces was still observed.

Abstract
Red mud is an iron-containing waste of alumina production with high alkalinity. A promising approach for its recycling is solid-phase carbothermic roasting in the presence of special additives followed by magnetic separation. The crucial factor of the separation of the obtained iron metallic particles from gangue is sufficiently large iron grains. This study focuses on the influence of Na2SO4 addition on iron grain growth during carbothermic roasting of two red mud samples with different (CaO + MgO)/(SiO2 + Al2O3) ratio of 0.46 and 1.21, respectively. Iron phase distribution in the red mud and roasted samples were investigated in detail by Mössbauer spectroscopy method. Based on thermodynamic calculations and results of multifactorial experiments, the optimal conditions for the roasting of the red mud samples with (CaO + MgO)/(SiO2 + Al2O3) ratio of 0.46 and 1.21 were duration of 180 min with the addition of 13.65% Na2SO4 at 1150 °C and 1350 °C followed by magnetic separation that led to 97% and 83.91% of iron recovery, as well as 51.6% and 83.7% of iron grade, respectively. The mechanism of sodium sulfate effect on iron grain growth was proposed. The results pointed out that Na2SO4 addition is unfavorable for the red mud carbothermic roasting compared with other alkaline sulfur-free additives.

Abstract
In this work, both the density functional theory (DFT) calculation and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were conducted to investigate the depression mechanisms of cyanide on the flotation performance of chalcopyrite. The density functional theory calculation results showed that cyanide could be adsorbed on a chalcopyrite (112) surface spontaneously, which preferably occurred on the surface Fe-Fe hollow site. Both C and N atoms of cyanide could bond with Fe atoms of the chalcopyrite (112) surface, while the interaction of Fe-C bond was more intense, where the Fe 3d orbital donated electrons to the hybrid sp orbital of a C atom forming a back-donating bond. XPS analysis indicated that the chemical interaction between cyanide and surface Fe atoms occurred, resulting in the generation of a hydrophilic iron-cyanide complex on the chalcopyrite surface, which deteriorated the flotation performance of chalcopyrite.

Influence of Hydrofluoric Acid Leaching and Roasting on Mineralogical Phase Transformation of Pyrite in Sulfidic Mine Tailings. MINERALS 2020.

Abstract
Under the oxidative roasting process, pyrite, as a major mineral in sulfidic mine tailings, can transform to iron oxides. Generated iron oxides, if exhibiting enough magnetic properties, can be recovered via magnetic separation resulting in partial mine tailings valorization. However, due to the presence of various minerals and sintering possibility, it is advantageous to remove impurities and increase the pyrite content of mine tailings prior to the roasting procedure. In this case, hydrofluoric acid that has no influence on pyrite can be used to leach most inorganic minerals, including aluminosilicates. Therefore, this study investigated and compared the influence of the roasting process with and without hydrofluoric acid leaching pretreatment on mineralogical phase transformation of pyrite and magnetic properties of thermally generated minerals. Several tests and analyses were performed to study mineralogical phase transformation, morphology, elemental composition, surface characterization, and magnetic properties. Results of this study indicated that without acid leaching pretreatment, pyrite was mainly transformed to hematite. However, via acid leaching, fluorine, as a more electronegative element over oxygen, entered the compound and neglected the role of oxygen in thermal oxidation, instead reducing sulfur content of pyrite to only form pyrrhotite.

Abstract
Municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWI-FA) is classified as hazardous waste that requires an effective processing method. This study proposed an innovative technique process, co-reduction of MSWI-FA and red mud followed by magnetic separation, to prepare crude alloy and cleaned slag. In this process, MSWI-FA acted not only as a reductant to reduce metal minerals in MSWI-FA and red mud to form an alloy, but also as a calcium additive to enhance the reduction of metal minerals and alter the melting point of the CaO-SiO2-Al2O3 system. Under optimal conditions, 85.52% Fe, 80.10% Cu, 92.96% Ni, and 66.74% Cr can be recovered in the form of a Fe-Cu-Ni-Cr alloy. The Fe-Cu-Ni-Cr alloy containing 96.47% Fe, 0.81% Cu, 0.65% Ni, and 0.42% Cr can be used for weathering steel production. Other heavy metals, including Cd, Pb, and Zn, were removed via volatilization. The toxicity characteristic leaching procedure test indicated that the leaching toxicity of the cleaned slag was substantially below the standard limits. The characteristics of the cleaned slag were similar to those of ground granulated blast furnace slag, suggesting its potential application in cement production.

Abstract
Mine tailings, generated from the extraction, processing, and utilization of mineral resources, have resulted in serious acid mine drainage (AMD) pollution. Recently, scholars are paying more attention to two alternative strategies for resource recovery and ecological reclamation of mine tailings that help to improve the current tailing management, and meanwhile reduce the negative environmental outcomes. This review suggests that the principles of geochemical evolution may provide new perspective for the future in-depth studies regarding the pollution control and risk management. Recent advances in three recycling approaches of tailing resources, termed metal recovery, agricultural fertilizer, and building materials, are further described. These recycling strategies are significantly conducive to decrease the mine tailing stocks for problematic disposal. In this regard, the future recycling approaches should be industrially applicable and technically feasible to achieve the sustainable mining operation. Finally, the current state of tailing phytoremediation technologies is also discussed, while identification and selection of the ideal plants, which is perceived to be the excellent candidates of tailing reclamation, should be the focus of future studies. Based on the findings and perspectives of this review, the present study can act as an important reference for the academic participants involved in this promising field.

Abstract
Iron ore tailings (IOTs) are a form of solid waste produced during the beneficiation process of iron ore concentrate. In this paper, iron recovery from IOTs was studied at different points during a process involving pre-concentration followed by direct reduction and magnetic separation. Then, slag-tailing concrete composite admixtures were prepared from high-silica residues. Based on the analyses of the chemical composition and crystalline phases, a pre-concentration test was developed, and a pre-concentrated concentrate (PC) with an iron grade of 36.58 wt % and a total iron recovery of 83.86 wt % was obtained from a feed iron grade of 12.61 wt %. Furthermore, the influences of various parameters on iron recovery from PC through direct reduction and magnetic separation were investigated. The optimal parameters were found to be as follows: A roasting temperature of 1250 °C, a roasting time of 50 min, and a 17.5:7.5:12.5:100 ratio of bitumite/sodium carbonate/lime/PC. Under these conditions, the iron grade of the reduced iron powder was 92.30 wt %, and the iron recovery rate was 93.96 wt %. With respect to the original IOTs, the iron recovery was 78.79 wt %. Then, highly active slag-tailing concrete composite admixtures were prepared using the high-silica residues and S75 blast furnace slag powder. When the amount of high-silica residues replacing slag was 20%, the strength of cement mortar blocks at 7 days and 28 days was 33.11 MPa and 50 MPa, respectively, whereas the activity indices were 89 and 108, respectively. Meanwhile, the fluidity rate was appropriately 109. When the content of high-silica residues replacing slag was not more than 30%, the quality of mineral admixtures was not reduced. Last but not least, reusing the high-silica residues during iron recovery enabled the complete utilization of the IOTs.

Effective Gold Recovery from Near-Surface Oxide Zone Using Reductive Microwave Roasting and Magnetic Separation. METALS 2018.

Abstract
High content of gold in near-surface oxide zones above the gold ore deposit could be recovered using cyanidation. However, restricting the use of cyanide in mines has made it difficult to recover gold within the oxide zone. In this study, we investigated an application of the reductive microwave roasting and magnetic separation (RMR-MS) process for the effective gold recovery from ores in a near-surface oxide zone. Ore samples obtained from the near-surface oxide zone in Moisan Gold Mine (Haenam, South Korea) were used in RMR-MS tests for the recovery of iron and gold. The effect of the RMR process on the recovery of iron and gold was evaluated by given various conditions of the microwave irradiation as well as the dosages of reductant and additive. The microwave roasting resulted in a chemical reduction of non-magnetic iron oxide minerals (hematite) to magnetite minerals, such as magnetite and maghemite. This mineral phase change could induce the effective separation of iron minerals from the gangue minerals by magnetic separation process. The increased iron recovery was directly proportional to the gold recovery due to the coexistence of gold with iron minerals. The RMR-MS process could be a promising method for gold recovery from the ores in near-surface oxide zones.

Abstract
A cleaner process is tremendously required to deal with the vanadium tailings, which may cause serious environmental problem due to the high content of water soluble hazardous elements such as V and Cr. This problem can be possibly solved by proposed high temperature reduction-magnetic separation process, in which, V, Cr and Fe can be recycled as ferroalloy. The thermodynamic calculation results reveal that a higher temperature (>1127.8 °C) promotes the reduction of Fe, V and Cr, and improves the recovery rates of V and Cr in liquid iron. The reduction behavior of vanadium tailings was investigated using XRD, TG/DSC, SEM, EDS and ICP-OES techniques. The EDS results show that a small portion of V was remained in the slag phase when roasted at 1300 °C, while nearly all of V and Cr can concentrate in ferroalloy at 1400 °C. Approximatly 90% of V and 95% of Cr recovery in magnetic fraction can be obtained for the magnetic separation step. A small portion of V and Cr is remained in the non-magnetic final tailings, however, the hazardous potential assessments results indicate that such kind of tailings can safely use as secondary materials or stockpiled as an end-waste.

Abstract
Cyanide tailings are the hazardous waste discharged after gold cyanidation leaching. The recovery of gold and iron from cyanide tailings was investigated with a combined direct reduction roasting and leaching process. The effects of reduction temperature, coal dosage and CaO dosage on gold enrichment into Au-Fe alloy (FexAu1−x) were studied in direct reduction roasting. Gold containing iron powders, i.e., Au-Fe alloy, had the gold grade of 8.23 g/t with a recovery of 97.46%. After separating gold and iron in iron powders with sulfuric acid leaching, ferrous sulfate in the leachate was crystallized to prepare FeSO4·7H2O with a yield of 222.42% to cyanide tailings. Gold enriched in acid-leaching residue with gold grade of 216.58 g/t was extracted into pregnant solution. The total gold recovery of the whole process reached as high as 94.23%. The tailings generated in the magnetic separation of roasted products, with a yield of 51.33% to cyanide tailings, had no toxic cyanide any more. The gold enrichment behaviors indicated that higher reduction temperature and larger dosage of coal and CaO could promote the allocation of more gold in iron phase rather than in slag phase. The mechanism for enriching gold from cyanide tailings into iron phase was proposed. This work provided a novel route to simultaneously recover gold and iron from cyanide tailings.

Abstract
Raw ilmenite concentrate containing Cr can be either as a resource or as one kind of the most hazardous solid waste. In order to recover titanium and chromium from the raw concentrate which was separated from the Promenade deposit, Gaza province, Mozambique, an innovative technology using modification of magnetic property followed by magnetic separation was proposed. Magnetic property, phase and surface morphology of the sample before and after oxidizing roasting were firstly characterized by magnetism, chemistry, XRD and MLA analyses to interpret the mechanism of oxidizing roasting of the ilmenite. Then, these factors such as oxidizing roasting temperature, residence time and magnetic induction affecting on magnetic separation performance were examined and the optimum process parameters were determined. A commercial concentrate containing 47.94% TiO2 and 0.23% Cr2O3 was obtained and the recovery of TiO2 and Cr2O3 was 78.52% and 5.42%, respectively. The tailing obtained was preliminarily concentrated by a high-intensity magnetic separator and a rough chromite concentrate was gained. In order to further purify the rough one, reducing roasting was carried out to transform the minerals containing hematite into the minerals containing magnetite, followed by a low-intensity magnetic separation. The effects of these parameters such as temperature, carbon powder dosage, holding time and magnetic induction on magnetic separation performance were investigated and the optimal conditions were determined. A concentrate containing 28.65% Cr2O3 was obtained and the total recovery of Cr2O3 was 84.18%.

Abstract
The recovery of iron from zinc leaching residue by selective reduction roasting with carbon was studied. The effects of roasting temperature, duration time and mass ratio of carbon to residue on decomposition of ZnFe(2)O(4), iron recovery and iron grade were investigated based on thermodynamic calculation and phase composition analysis of zinc leaching residue. 58.6% of iron grade in magnetic concentrate and 68.4% of iron recovery were achieved after the residue roasted at 750°C for 1h under carbon to residue mass ratio of 4%. The phase composition of roasted residue indicated that the ZnFe(2)O(4) decomposed in four stages: reduction of ZnFe(2)O(4) to ZnO and Fe(3)O(4), reduction of Fe(3)O(4) to FeO, formation of Fe(0.85-x)Zn(x)O and reduction of FeO to Fe. A technological process for simultaneously recovering iron and zinc from zinc leaching residue is proposed.
