Then further examples have been carried out so as to carry out the precipitation of hematite from a basic aqueous that was derived from an acid leaching solution. The acid leaching solution was obtained by leaching an aluminum-containing ore (for example argillite) with HCl.
- The aluminum-containing ore (for example argillite) can be activated mechanically by grinding. Mineral activation leads to a positive influence on the leaching reaction kinetics. For example, a ball mill can be used in air atmosphere for about 2 to 4 hours. Argillite can be also calcinated. This stage of pretreatment can be accomplished at a calcinating temperature between about 400 to about 700° C. for a period about 1 to about 2 hours. These two operations, for example, increase the quantity of extracted aluminum by about 25 to 40%.
- Acid leaching can be made by mixing activated argillite with an acid solution (for example HCl) at elevated temperature and under pressure during a given period of time. For example, the argillite/acid ratio can be of about of 1:3 (weight/volume), the concentration of about 6M, the pressure can be of about 70 to about 80 psi, the temperature can be of about 150 to about 170° C., and the reaction time can be about 1 hour to about 7 hours. Under these conditions, over 90% of aluminum and 100% of the iron can be extracted besides the impurities.
- At the end of extraction, the solid (not dissolved portion) can be separated from the liquid rich aluminum and iron by decantation or by filtration, after which is washed. This solid represent about 50 to about 60% of the initial mass of argillite. It can be valorized and be used as constituent alloy.
- The iron contained in the solution can be removed by selectively precipitating it at certain pH values. For example, iron removal can be carried out by precipitation in basic medium at a pH greater than about 11.2. This stage can be made by adding the solution containing aluminum and iron in a basic aqueous composition, for example NaOH at a concentration of 6M. Other bases such as KOH can also be used. Iron can thus be precipitated under the form of compounds such as Fe(OH)2 and/or Fe(OH)3.
- During the second half of such a treatment, hematite can be added (can be called seeding hematite). Hematite seed addition can enhance hematite precipitation reaction (for example transformation of Fe(OH)2 and/or Fe(OH)3) into hematite). For example, 10 g of hematite can be added to 1 L of basic aqueous composition optionally under agitation. The concentration of Fe in the solution was about 2.5 to about 3.0 g/L. The reaction temperature can be of about 80° C. to about 140° C. (for example, the basic aqueous composition can be at such a temperature), and the reaction time can be of about 3 hours to about 72 hours. Under such conditions, about 98% to about 100% of iron can be precipitated and about 70% to 100% of this iron can be precipitated as hematite. Optionally, it is possible to recover iron by using a refining step by liquid-liquid extraction through a hollow fiber membrane.
- It is possible to separate the solid portion from the liquid portion by filtration, decantation or centrifugation and to rinse the solid by means of a diluted base, such as a solution of NaOH (for example NaOH at a concentration of 1M to 2M). At the end of this step, the solid can be washed with water.
- This step can also be carried in various ways. Aluminum ions can be precipitated under the form of aluminum hydroxide. For example, an hydrated form of Al(OH)3 can be obtained by addition of a liquid acid, at a pH of about 7 to about 10.5 or about 7.5 to about 10 or about 9, the temperature can be of about 50° C. to about 80° C., and the reaction time can be of about 3 hours to about 24 hours. This step can be made by adding a solution of HCl, for example at a concentration of 6M. Other acid can also be used. From the previous step, for example 90 to 100% aluminum hydroxide can be precipitated.
- Alternatively, aluminum ions can be precipitated by addition of an acid gas. For example, an hydrated form of Al(OH)3 sprayed by CO2, at a pH of about 7 to about 10.5, the temperature can be of 50° C. to 80° C., and the reaction time can be of about 3 hours to about 24 hours. From the previous step, for example 90 to 100% aluminum hydroxide can be precipitated.
- Another way of precipitating aluminum ions can be carried out by addition of flocculating agent. Various flocculating agents can help to the formation of voluminous flakes which settles by sedimentation. For example, an acrylamide polymer can be used, at a concentration of about 0.1% to about 0.3%. The ratio flocculating agent/solution of hydroxide aluminum can be about 1:300 (volume/volume). The temperature can be below 30° C. and the reaction time can be of about 5 minutes to about 20 minutes. Under such conditions, more about 97% of the aluminum can be precipitated.
- The argillite was ground up in the wet phase in a ball grinder. The mixture of water and roughly crushed argillite coming from the mine was fed into the grinder, where the mineral is reduced to less than 100 microns. The mud went down by gravity into a mixer outfitted with two impellers, which ensures a good homogeneity. When the mixture reaches the desired density, the contents of the mixer are pumped to an accumulation bunker, which will serve to feed the mud to an autoclave.
- The acid fed to the leaching came from two sources. The major portion was recycled spent acid. This recycled acid contained about 20 to about 22 wt. % of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and about 10 to about 11% of AlCl3. For example, if excess acid is required, a small quantity of fresh 36% acid can be used.
- The mud of argillite and acid were fed to the autoclave of 32 m3 in stoichiometric proportion. The autoclave was then hermetically sealed, mixed well and heated by indirect contact with the steam-fed jacket. As the temperature was rising, the steam pressure increased such that the reaction reached a temperature of about 175° C. and a pressure of about 7.5 barg. At the end of the leaching cycle, the metals contained in the argillite were converted into chlorides. The mixture was then cooled by indirect contact with the cooling water in the reactor jacket. When the mixture was at about 70 to about 80° C., the leached mud was transferred by air pressure to two buffer reservoirs maintained in communicating vessels for further treatment and disposal and the leachate was thus ready for further treatments.
- The mother liquor from leaching (leachate) was pumped at constant rate across cartridge filters to the first iron precipitation reactor. This reservoir was well mixed and the temperature was controlled to about 65 to 70° C. by means of a heating coil. The pH was continuously metered and the solution was maintained at a pH of about 12 by addition of 50 wt % caustic soda with the help of a dispensing pump. The precipitation reaction converted the iron chloride and the other metal chlorides into hydroxides, which were leading to a gradual precipitation and agglomeration of the solid crystals. The leachate was then fed consecutively to two other precipitation reactors when the pH was also controlled by the addition of caustic soda and the temperature maintained by a heating coil. At the exit from the last reactor, the liquor was fed to a gravity decanter.
- The purpose of the gravity decanter was to produce a thickened mud of the largest crystals of hematite. These crystals served for the seeding in the first precipitation reactor. It was observed that such a technique was useful to promote the creation of precipitates (hematite) that are larger and more easy to filter. A quantity of about 1.5 to about 5.5 g of hematite per liter of the solution was used for seeding. The concentration of Fe in the solution was about 2.5 to about 3.0 g/L.
- The filtration of the hematite was carried out with the help of two automated filter presses. The mother liquor was then sent to a buffer reservoir to be pumped to the aluminum precipitation reactor.
- The washed hematite was sent to a blade mixer where the pH of the solid is metered. A pH less than about 8 was maintained by the addition of hydrochloric acid (HCl) with the help of a dispensing pump.
- For the precipitation of the aluminum, the pH of the mother liquor was adjusted to about 9.5 by reacting it with HCl. Since the mother liquor has been purified of all other metals, the obtained precipitate was white and with purity of at least 98.5%.
- The mother liquor was pumped at constant rate across guard filters to the first main reactor for precipitation of aluminum hydroxide. This reservoir was maintained in suspension by an impeller and the temperature was controlled at 65° C. with the help of a heating coil. The pH was metered continuously and the solution was maintained at pH of about 9.5 by addition of HCl using a dispensing pump. The precipitation reaction was effective for converting the aluminum chloride into aluminum hydroxide, which resulted in a gradual precipitation and agglomeration of solid crystals. The liquor was then sent consecutively to two other precipitation reactors where the pH was also controlled by the adding of acid and the temperature maintained by a coil. At the exit from the last reactor, the liquor is fed to a gravity decanter.
- A gravity decanter was also used to produce a thickened Al(OH)3 mud of the largest crystals. These crystals were pumped from the bottom of the decanter to the first precipitation reactor to seed the crystallization.
- The rest of the Al(OH)3 mud and the supernatant fluid of the decanter were sent to a repulping tank from which the mixture was pumped to a centrifuge type separator/washer. After the treatment with the separator, the Al(OH)3 was then dried.
- While a description was made with particular reference to the specific embodiments, it will be understood that numerous modifications thereto will appear to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the above description and accompanying drawings should be taken as specific examples and not in a limiting sense.
