Definitions
- This invention relates to the processes used in the beneficiation of Manganese ore.
- the invention is in the field of processes used in the beneficiation of Manganese ore.
- a further process of beneficiation of Manganese includes the milling of the Manganese ore, followed by reduction in a kiln, and thereafter leaching with sulphuric acid and electroplating. This process has been successfully carried out and produces a Manganese metal product which is of a high Manganese quality, typically 98% Mn.
- the aim of this leaching process is to target the sought after mineral, ie Manganese in this case, leach it out and treat it to recover it in a concentrated format.
- the CaO/MgO content of the ore can be significantly reduced prior to transport, resulting in a significant reduction in the mass and volume of ore to be transported and a concomitant cost reduction.
- the actual minerals containing these components are CaOC02 or MgOC02 or CaMg(C03)2 or Kutnahorite or a combination of them.
- a process for the beneficiation of Manganese ore including the leaching of the ore with acid to remove CaC03 (Calcium carbonate) and MgC03 (Magnesium carbonate).
- the ore may be broken down by various suitable means including but not limited to crushing, milling, washing and/or dense media separation. An ore product is yielded which is then leached.
- the ore product may be of varying sizes which are suitable for effective leaching of CaO/MgO from the ore.
- the ore product may comprise a particle size of less than 100mm in diameter.
- Leaching may occur in various ways including VAT leaching, CSTR (continuous stirred-tank reactor) and/or heap leaching. These leaching processes may occur in a batch process or a continuous process.
- an acid may be added to the ore product.
- This acid may be any suitable acid which will assist with the leaching of CaO/MgO from the ore.
- the acid may be any one or more of the group including hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and the like.
- the acid used in leaching may include a combination of two or more acids.
- the concentration of the acids may vary to ensure adequate leaching of CaO/MgO from the ore, and each acid may have a concentration of between 0.1 % and 100%.
- the time taken for leaching of the ore to occur may vary, depending on various factors including any one or more of the group including the temperature at which the leaching process is carried out; the concentration of the acids used in leaching process; the ratio of ore to acid used in the leaching process; agitation of the ore and liquid during the leaching process and the ore size used in the leaching process.
- the leached ore product may include varying percentages of Manganese in relation to CaO/MgO, in the ore.
- CaO and MgO is selectively leached out of the ore product and provides an ore with a high Manganese concentration.
- Acid used in the leaching process may be regenerated by various means.
- a process for the beneficiation of Manganese ore including the steps of: breaking Calcium/Magnesium carbonate (CaC03 / MgCOs) rich Manganese ore into a finer ore product having a diameter of between 1 mm and 100mm; and leaching the ore with acid to remove CaC03 and MgCOs.
- CaC03 / MgCOs Calcium/Magnesium carbonate
- the process for beneficiation of Manganese Ore includes providing Manganese Ore which is rich in Calcium carbonate (CaCOs) and Magnesium carbonate (MgCOs).
- a Manganese Ore comprising 30-40% Manganese content and a 12-22% CaO content (the ore product with a size of approximately 100mm per particle) is crushed. This product is high in CaO and MgO concentration.
- Leaching acid is added to the fine ore product.
- Leaching takes place by means of vat leaching and/or CSTR leaching and/or heap leaching, and these processes can be either as a batch process or a continuous process.
- the acid used in this process can vary, but can be hydrochloric acid and/or nitric acid.
- the acid used can be a combination of two or more acids at differing concentrations. Leaching occurs at a temperature and for a length of time which ensures that an ore with a high Manganese concentration is the resultant product.
- the acid added to the fine ore product will selectively leach the CaO and MgO from the fine ore product and allow for the Manganese to remain.
- the leached fine ore product includes a Manganese content of 40-52% and a CaO content of 1 - 10%. This shows an ore product with a sufficiently decreased CaO content and with a high quality Manganese content in the Ore.
- the invention therefore provides a novel process for the beneficiation of Manganese ore. TEST RESULTS
- Mamatwan ore is representative of the high Calcium carbonate and Magnesium carbonate ore, sourced from Mamatwan mine.
- CaO reduces from 17% to less than 2%.
- the % on the graph relates to the % acid concentration used to achieve the upgrade, ranging from 2.5% to 32% hydrochloric acid.
- Concentration - concentration was varied from 2.5% up to 32% with significant improvement of Mn content up to 52% from 36.5%. This was achieved with 20% HCI acid. The resultant CaO content was reduced from 17% to as low as 1 %.
- Time (column 2+3)- conclusion is that the majority of the upgrade is done within 2 hours of introducing the ore to the acid (lixiviant) at 5% HCI concentration.
- the Mn increases from 36.5% to 40.5% with a mass recovery of 83-84% and a Mn recovery of 93%.
- the CaO has been reduced from 16.8% to 13%.
- Acid concentration (column 5) - the concentration was increased from 5% to 10% with a little improvement in the resultant Mn content, increasing from 35.5% to 39.7%, although the mass recovery was only 75% and Mn recovery 83%.
- the CaO was reduced from 17.4% to 12.9% in the resultant ore.
- Mn discard ore (column 6+7) - Tests were conducted for two hours at 10% acid and the Mn increased from 31.5% to 40.95, while the CaO content decreased from 22.3% to 13.6%. This with a mass recovery of 66% and Mn recovery of 86%.
- Mn discard ore (column 8+9) - tests were conducted for two hours at 10% acid and the Mn increased from 29.7% to 35.6%, while the CaO content decreased from 23.7% to 17.4%.
- the lumpy ore from Mamatwan type ore was also leached in a VAT type reactor with HCI testing processing time and concentration of acid.
- Time (column 1-5) the time was varied from 2 to 24 hours with mixed results. On average the Mn increased from 36.7% to 39%, while the CaO reduced from 15.3% to 12%. The mass recovery was between 72% and 78% while the Mn recovery was between 72% an 86%.
- a lower grade Mamatwan ore was selected to conduct heap leach tests on. Time and concentration was tested with successful u pgrading of the Mn content. A 1 metre high column was used with a 300mm diameter. TEST 3 - heap leach tests in a 1 metre column with 32% Mamatwan type lumpy ore
- HL4 the test was conducted with 10% HCI acid circulating the acid for 11 days HL1 refers to the original ore with no leaching applied to it.
- HL2 - the Mn was upgraded from 32% to 34.3% and the CaO was reduced from 19.4% to 16.4%.
- the mass recovery was 85% and the Mn recovery 91%.
- HL3 - the Mn was upgraded from 32% to 33.6% and the CaO was reduced from 19.4% to 16.0%.
- the mass recovery was 72% and the Mn recovery 75%.
