Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for increasing the chrome to iron ratio of chromites products. More particularly, it relates to a chlorination method for increasing the chrome to iron ratio of chromites products.
- the primary industrial source of chromium is the mineral chromite, which can be represented by the ideal formula FeO.Cr 2 O 3 .
- FeO can be partially substituted by other elements such as MgO, CaO, MnO and Cr 2 O 3 by Fe 2 O 3 and AI 2 O 3 .
- These substitutions are at the origin of different types of chromites distinguished, among other things, by their chrome to iron ratios.
- the chrome to iron ratios of chromites vary from 1.3 to 4.0 in many stratiform or podiform deposits. Chromites possessing chrome to iron ratios higher than 3, are rare in nature.
- Chromites are employed in the production of ferrochromium, a master alloy in the stainless steel industry.
- the production of ferrochromium is an energy-intensive process and is generally conducted in an electrical furnace.
- Ferrochromiums can be divided in three classes based on their carbon content : high carbon ferrochromium containing between 4 to 10 % carbon; medium carbon ferrochromium containing between 0.5 to 4 % carbon; low carbon ferrochromium containing less than 0.5 % carbon.
- the chrome to iron ratio of the chromite ore used as a feed to the furnace controls the chromium content of the ferrochromium.
- the value of the ferrochromium is mainly based on its chromium and carbon contents. The highest prices are obtained for ferrochromium showing high concentration in chromium and low carbon content.
- the chromites economic values are set by their chrome to iron ratios: a chromite with a Cr/Fe ratio of 1.5 being worth less than a chromite with a Cr/Fe ratio of 4.
- the economic value of these chromium-enriched chromites is increased in their use as enriched product directly and as feed for ferrochromium production.
- European Patent No. 0 096 241 by Robinson and Crosby, describes the chlorination of chromites mixed with coke by Cl 2 at a temperature ranging between 1000° and 1100° C. The chromites are completely transformed into chlorides and volatilized. The iron chlorides and chromium chlorides are separated according to their respective boiling points. This specific process leads to the formation of pure CrCI 3 .
- South African Patent No. 96/4584 by Lalancette, Bergeron, Bosse, Clerk teaches the chlorination of chromites by Cl 2 in the presence of air, no reductant being used. The process is described by two reactions.
- the iron is selectively chlorinated and transformed in gaseous FeCI 3 . While FeCI 3 is still in the reaction vessel, this product is rapidly transformed in Fe 2 O 3 via reaction No. 2. This result in the production of a chromite showing an increase in its chrome to iron ratio with a simultaneous formation and precipitation of Fe 2 O 3 as hematite in the chlorination reactor. After the chlorination step, the reactor is drained and the hematite is dissolved in concentrated HCI leaving a residue of enrich chromite.
- Table 1 shows chemical analysis performed by an electron micro-probe of chromite grains extracted from Cr-3 chromite showing of the Menarik Complex. These results indicate important variations in the major oxides phases on a grain-to-grain basis.
- the average chemical composition of the Cr-3 mineralized zone is reported in the Table 2 with the heading Starting ore.
- the present invention generally provides a novel approach for the extraction of iron from chromites.
- it also provides a method for extracting iron from chromites without substantially affecting other major chemical components in chromites.
- the present invention is applicable to chromites products such as chromite ores and different types of chromite concentrates including alluvial chromites. If concentrates are used as feed to the invention, the concentrates can be obtained, after grinding of the ore, by the use of standard mineral processing technologies such as jigs, spirals, flotation units, and multi-gravity separator.
- the size of the chromite product used depends on the degree of freedom of the chromite grain-size in the matrix from which it is extracted.
- the present invention may comprise procedures allowing secure disposal of the iron extracted from the chromites.
- the present invention comprises procedures allowing recycling of other principal chemical reactants employed in the process.
- the method then comprises burning CO with air to yield gaseous CO 2 ; electrolyzing the NaCI solution to yield Cl 2 , NaOH and H 2 ; recycling at least one of Cl 2 and NaOH as reactants for the chlorination and neutralization reactions; recycling H 2 as additional combustible for the chlorination furnace; and recovering the solid material from which the iron has been extracted by the chlorination reaction.
- the chlorination is performed in a furnace built with material resistant to chlorine, to yield a FeCI 3 gaseous stream and a solid material from which the iron has been extracted and whereby residual chlorine may exit the furnace.
- the present invention comprises means to minimize the production of Cr+6, a known carcinogen contaminant that may be produced in methods using HCI.
- the means include using a reducing atmosphere during the gas solid interactions.
- temperature sufficient to induce the formation of a thin film of a melt around the chromite product refers to a temperature that is sufficient to promote the formation of a FeCI 3 -NaCI system that is liquid. This temperature is at least 157 °C and preferably at least 250 °C.
- the terminology "temperature able to promote the selective chlorination of iron” refers to a temperature that is not sufficiently high to enable the chlorination of other oxides in the chromites. Hence, it is known that at a temperature of 1000°C and higher, all oxides contained in the chromites are chlorinated. In a specific embodiment, the temperature used for this purpose is not higher that 750°C. In a more specific embodiment, this temperature is not higher than 720°C.
- a method for increasing the chrome to iron ratio of a chromite product selected from the group consisting of ore and ore concentrate comprising the steps of mixing the chromite product with at least one salt so as to produce a mixture, whereby the concentration of salt in the mixture is selected to induce the selective chlorination of iron; and chlorinating the mixture in the presence of CO at a temperature sufficient to induce the formation of a thin film of a melt around the chromite product and at a temperature able to promote the selective chlorination of iron, whereby an iron impoverished chromite product is yielded having an increased chromite to iron ratio as compared to that of the chromite product.
- the temperature is between about 157 ° and about 750 ° C. In further embodiments, the temperature may be between about 250 ° and about 720 ° C. In more specific embodiments, the temperature is between about 670 ° and about 720 ° C.
- the at least one salt is selected from the group consisting of NaCI, KCI and MgCI 2 and a combination thereof. In a more specific embodiment, the salt is NaCI and forms about 5% to about 10% w/w of the mixture. In more specific embodiments, the salt forms about 5% w/w of the mixture. In other specific embodiments, the CI 2 /CO ratio is between about 0.5 and about 1.5. In other specific embodiments, the mixture is dried before chlorination. In other embodiments, N 2 is used as a carrier gaz during chlorination. In other embodiments, the duration of the chlorination is about 30 minutes to about 2 hours. In other embodiments, the duration of the chlorination is about 2 hours.
- a method for increasing the chrome to iron ratio of a chromite product selected from the group consisting of ore and ore concentrate comprising the steps of mixing the chromite product with NaCI so that a mixture is produced having about 5% to about 10% NaCI w/w; and chlorinating the mixture in the presence of CO at a temperature sufficient to induce the formation of a thin film of a melt around the chromite product and at a temperature able to promote the selective chlorination of iron, whereby an iron impoverished chromite product is yielded having an increased chromite to iron ratio as compared to that of the chromite product.
- the temperature is between about 157 ° and about 750 ° C. In further embodiments, it may be between about 250 ° and about 720 ° C or between about 670 ° and about 720 ° C. In other specific embodiments, the salt forms about 5% w/w of the mixture. In other specific embodiments, the CI 2 /CO ratio is between about 0.5 and about 1.5.

- the salt used is NaCI, it is optimally between 5% and 10% w/w in the mixture and the temperature is below 1000°C and preferably not more than 750°C.
- the method may simply seek to extract as much iron as possible and not preserve a high chrome content in the chromite or avoid chlorination of other oxides. Then the chlorination temperature used and the salt concentration used do not have to be selective and is desirably higher than 1000°C and 10% w/w, respectively.

- the feed (1) used can be ore or an ore concentrate obtained from an appropriate mineral processing technology.
- on the feed used is from a massive chromite layer obtained from the Menarik deposit (James Bay, Quebec).
- the average mineralogy of 29 massive chromite layers of the Menarik Complex is: chromite 45 %, chlorite 32 %, serpentine 13 %, magnetite 3 %, talc 1 %, hornblende 4 %, and traces of sulfides.
- the sample was hand picked from the chromite mineralized zone Cr-3 and subsequently ground to 125 ⁇ m.
- the chemical composition of this starting material, identified as feed (1) in Figure 1 is reported in Table 2 as starting ore for Examples 1 and 2, and in Table 3 as starting ore for Examples 3 to 6.
- NaCI (3) was added to the ground ore as a solution in order to obtain a concentration (w/w) of salt in the feed varying between .8% and 15% according to Examples 1 to 6 below.
- the NaCI salt addition provides one of the components for the formation of an eutectic point which the FeCI 3 produces via the carbochlorination of the chromite feed (reactions are reported under the carbochlorination heading below).
- the phase diagram for the system FeCI 3 -NaCI is illustrated at Figure 2. For temperatures over the first eutectic temperature, 157 C, liquid NaFeCI 4 is formed from the reaction of FeCI 3 with NaCI. In Examples presented below, the chlorination temperature varies from 250 ° to 720 ° C.
- NaFeCI 4 is present as a liquid phase in the feed at all chlorination temperatures used.
- the salt addition is performed in order to produce a thin film of a melt around each grain of the feed.
- This interstitial melt contains the chlorination agent in a chemical form such as NaFeCI .
- the thin film acts as a chlorination solvent increasing chlorine diffusion in the chromite.
- the chlorine gaseous atmosphere enclosed in the reactor regenerates the effective chlorination agent contained in the melt.
- other types of salts such as KCI and MgCI 2 can be used to produce a catalytic system for the carbochlorination of chromites.
- the drying step ensures a complete removal of water resulting from the salt addition and can be carried out at different temperatures and time periods.
- the mixture was dried at 180 ° C for 30 minutes. After cooling, the charge was transferred in the chlorination reactor and pre-heated at the selected reaction temperature.
- FeCI 2 ferrous chloride
- FeCI 2 ferrous chloride
- FeCI 3 ferric chloride
- carbochlorination is performed with a salt such as NaCI, KCI and MgCI 2 to produce a catalytic melt when NaCI combines with FeCI 2 and/or FeCI 3 so as to increase the volatilization (the removal) of iron as gaseous FeCI 3 from the carbochlorination reactor.
- a salt such as NaCI, KCI and MgCI 2
- the carbochlorination temperature was reached in the chlorination reactor (5) a mixture of Cl 2 and CO and, in specific embodiments, N 2 (not shown) was introduced in the reactor so as to induce carbochlorination. After a few minutes, FeCI 3 (g) (5) was expelled from the reactor. According to specific embodiments described Examples below, the temperature was varied from 250 ° to 720 ° C. However because of thermodynamics rules, it is expected that this temperature may be increased at least up to 750 C without loosing the selectivity of the chlorination towards iron. In specific embodiments, chlorine and carbon monoxide were used on a 1/1 basis. The flow rate was maintained at 1 ml per second.
- a mixture of Cl 2 , CO, and N 2 was employed, N 2 acting as a carrier gas.
- N 2 is not believe to play a role in any reaction involved in the method and may accordingly be dispensed of.
- Cl 2 , CO, and N 2 were used, the flow rates of the different gases were varied as well as the weight % of salt additives. Results (not shown) have shown that the optimal CI 2 /CO flow rate ratio is between about 0.5 and about 1.5. Interesting results are nevertheless obtained outside this range but the Cr/Fe obtained progressively decreases with ratios below 0.5 or above 1.5 (results not shown).
- chlorination reactions were conducted in a simple horizontal static furnace.
- chlorination is realized in fluidized bed reactors constructed of acid resistant bricks enclosed in a metal shell. Since the salt addition results in the formation of a thin liquid film layer around the chromite grains, which increases their adherence properties, it may be desirable to avoid fluidized reactor in order to avoid problems associated with grains agglomeration and bed sedimentation.
- Alternatives to fluidized bed reactor include a vertical static reactor and a horizontal rotating reactor. '
- inventions of the present invention may include the use of solid reducing agents like coal or coke instead of CO which may be onerous for industrial scale methods.
- solid reducing agents like coal or coke
- CO may be onerous for industrial scale methods.
- coal and coke react with oxygen to form CO so that the end result is similar to that obtained when CO is directly introduced in the chlorination reactor.
- Pelletizing-sintering procedures similar to the ones employed in the ferrochromium industry, can be performed before the chlorination step.
- Gaseous FeCI 3 (10) exits continuously the reactor during the reaction and the abrupt temperature drop outside the reactor causes its fast condensation in the top section of the condenser.
- the condenser is placed at an adequate distance from the furnace so as to keep its temperature below 50 ° C so as to ensure FeCI 3 's condensation.
- FeCI 3 is highly soluble in water. A small volume of water is added to the condenser apparatus to wash the solid FeCI 3 .
- the FeCI 3 rich aqueous solution accumulates at the base of the condenser and is directed into a reservoir for subsequent neutralization.
- the other gases leaving the reactor are essentially Cl 2 , CO, CO 2 (12) and N 2 (not shown). These gases are apparently not affected by the presence of the condenser (8) and flow through it without experiencing any detectable change in their compositions or states and exit the condenser.
- the aqueous FeCI 3 solutions (10) and (20) coming from the condenser (8) and the washing tower are pumped in a neutralization reservoir (28).
- a solution of NaOH (not shown) is added to the reservoir.
- the solid amorphous iron oxides are isolated from the liquid phase by an appropriate solid-liquid separation such as centrifugation or press filtration (31).

- Table 2 presents results according to the first set of experiments for which the CI 2 /CO ratio flow rates, reaction time, and type and quantity of salt addition were kept constant during the experiments, while the temperature was varied. Examples 1 and 2 are derived from this first set of experiences.
- Tables 3 and 4 contain data for the second set of embodiments for which, temperature, reaction time and quantity of salt addition were varied. This second set of experiments is represented in Examples 3 to 6.
- the major and trace elements were analyzed by inductively couple plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, ICP-AES, after a fusion procedure specifically applicable to chromite. Sulfur was determined with a CNS analyzer.
- This example comprises a set of 4 experiments. The results are presented in Table 2.
- This Example demonstrates the selectivity of the iron removal by carbochlorination versus chromium according to the method of the present invention. The other major elements are reported in Table 2 for indicative purposes only.
- the range of temperature tested varied from 250 to 550 ° C.
- the chlorinated sample were mixed with a NaCI brine and dried at 180 ° C for 30 minutes.
- the salt content of the chlorinated samples was 5 % (w/w).
- a 10 g sample of chromite ore was placed in a 10 ml porcelain beaker. The beaker was positioned in the center of 60 cm in length silica tube, with an internal diameter of 6 cm.
- the assembly beaker-silica tube was placed in the furnace and the temperature was raised at the chosen carbochlorination temperature.
- a Cl 2 , CO gas mixture was introduced in the furnace on a one to one ratio basis.
- the carbochlorination step was conducted for 60 minutes.
- a red brown chlorine vapor formed five minutes after the beginning of introducing the gases in the furnace . This vapor was expelled outside the reactor through the gases flow, where it condensed on the inside wall of the silica tube.
- the furnace-heating device and the gases flow were stopped. After a cooling period, the solid residue left in the porcelain beaker was analyzed for major and selected trace elements.
- the temperature of 673 ° C was selected as slightly superior to the melting point of FeCI 2 (670 ° C).
- the total reaction time varied from 0.5 hour to 2.0 hours with a time increment of a half hour for each of samples were T-2-9 to T-2- 12 as in Example 4.
- the chrome to iron ratios between experiments conducted at 550 ° C and 600 ° C show a relatively small increase, namely from 2.98 to 3.27 for a temperature difference of 50 ° C while that obtained for experiments conducted at 673 ° C is much larger for a temperature difference of 73 ° C, namely 2.98 to 6.00.
- the important increase in the chrome to iron ratios for the experiments conducted at 673 ° C are attributed to the melting of FeCI 2 and volatilization of FeCI 3 . This melting allowed FeCI 2 to play a role in the catalytic system comprising NaCI, FeCI 2 and FeCI 3 .
- Chromium to iron ratio increase versus temperature and duration of the reaction Experiments were conducted at 720 C to further investigate the chromium to iron ratio increase at higher temperatures.
