摘要
To effectively develope and utilize the low grade high sulfur bauxite, and reduce the hazards of sulfur minerals in the Bayer process and improve the digestion properties of alumina, the effects of caustic alkali mass concentration, time, lime addition amount and temperature on the digestion performance of desilicated concentrate were systematically investigated after roasting desulfurization and alkali leaching desilication. The results show that the best digestion conditions are as follows: the digestion temperature is 280 ℃; the caustic mass concentration is 245 g/L; the digestion time is 70 min ; the lime mass fraction is 8%. The relative digestion ratio is 95.14%, which is 7.50% higher than that of the raw ore and 9.77% higher than that of the calcined ore, respectively. The mass concentration of sulfur in the digestion solution of desilicated concentrate is 0.11 g/L, and the actual digestion ratio of sulfur is 11.2%. The specific surface area of desilicated concentrate increases to 31.25 m2/g, pore volume and pore diameter increase to 0.078 43 cm3/g and 14.76 nm, respectively. The reaction of [113] surface of alumina crystal during alkali leaching process leads to the decrease of grain size. The interplanar spacing of desilicated concentrate decreases and the length Al-O increases, with two bond lengths of 0.185 4 nm and 1.971 0 nm, respectively. © 2019, Central South University Press.
