摘要

The technological features of the,techniques of fast reducing roasting (FRR) and conventional magnetic roasting are briefly described. The test equipment suit able for FRR of fine-grained materials is introduced. The results of tests of low-grade refractory iron ore and the used equipment are introduced. It is the first time that a magnetic roasting process achieves FRR. In a weakly reducing atmosphere and at 740-800 degrees C, refractory powder ferrous material (-0.30 mm) which is rich in specularite, limonite and Mg-Mn siderite was subjected to FRR for a few seconds to one minute. Weakly magnetic iron concentrates with iron grade of 55.67%-55.21% (due to high content of Mg and Mn in the ore) and iron yield of 81.66%-86.57% were used The results of magnetism detection of the material, before and after the FRR, indicated that weakly magnetic material was mainly converted into strongly magnetic material Fe3O4 with specific saturation magnetic moment. It indicates that it is practicable to use the FRR technique to improve the utilization of iron ore resources that are of marginal grade.
