Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for recovery of iron from copper slag.
  • This invention particularly relates to a process for recovery of iron from a waste like granulated copper slag generated during the production of copper from its ores by a pyrometallurgical method.
  • the present invention will be useful for solving the ecological and environmental issues with an added economic advantage of utilising the dump slag generated in the copper plants.
  • Hartenstein patent discloses a process for utilizing the waste products of blast furnaces wherein slag is subjected to treatment with a carbonaceous material and electric current.
  • the Betts patent discloses a metallurgical process wherein silicon is used in recovering iron and copper from a slag.
  • the Stout patent discloses a method of treatment of copper metallurgical slag wherein the slag is treated with iron to extract additional copper.
  • the Fowler et al patent discloses a process for recovering copper from slag wherein carbonaceous material is added to reduce the slag and obtain the copper therefrom.
  • the Lichty patent discloses a process for recovery of metals from metallurgical slag wherein silicon is used as a reducing agent to obtain iron and copper from the slag.
  • the Kuzell patent discloses a process of treating copper matte wherein iron and copper are recovered by air blowing a molten charge of the matte.
  • the Wiberg patent discloses a method for refining metals.
  • the Zimmerley et al patent discloses recovery of molybdenum from slag by means of a reduction smelting operation.
  • the Ammann et al patent discloses a process for recovering copper from molten converter-type slags wherein the magnetite in the slag is reduced with carbonaceous materials and/or other solid reductants and stirring of the slag is utilized.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide a process for recovery of iron from copper slag.
  • Another objective of the present invention is to provide a process for the production of metal from the granulated slag generated during the processing of copper concentrates.
  • Still another object of the present invention is to provide a process for the production of metal from the granulated slag generated during the processing of copper concentrates from an Indian copper producing company.
  • the present invention provides a process for the recovery of iron from copper slag which comprises:
  • the copper slag used in the process may have the following composition range: Cu(%) 0-0.523 Silica(%) 25-35 Lime(%) 3-10 Fe(%) 30-50 Cd(ppm) 0-0.005 Co(ppm) 2-6 Ni(ppm) 0-0.6 Pb(ppm) 2-10
  • the reductant material may be selected from graphite, petroleum coke and like materials and may have size in the range between 0.2 to 10 mm.
  • the addition of reductant material may be made through the following three stages:
  • the created amount of molten pool may be of 10 to 20 volume % of furnace capacity.
  • the flux used may be selected from oxide and carbonate of calcium and magnesium.
  • the obtained products may be grinding grade cast iron and like and the recovery rate of iron may be in the range of 75 to 85 weight % of iron values.
  • the copper slag from any copper industry is analyses for its chemical composition.
  • the chunks of copper slag was broken into small lumps and ground into small granulated particles in the size range of 2 to 15 mm.
  • iron oxide i.e. FeO, Fe 2 O 3 , Fe 3 O 4 and chemical composition of iron and silica in the copper slag
  • the amount of reductant and fluxing material is calculated.
  • Granulated slag, reductant and the fluxes are mixed in a mixing muller for a time period of 2 to 5 min in order to get a homogenous mixture.
  • a molten metal pool bath was created and a calculated amount of reductant was added.
  • Novelty of the present invention is process for the preparation of value added products viz grinding grade cast iron using copper slag generated during the processing of copper concentrate which otherwise is considered as a waste.
  • Other novel features of the inventions are creating a homogeneous mixture of slag, reductant and flux so that reaction kinetics is more than conventional process.
  • the reductant is used in such a way so that maximum recovery of iron can take place.
  • the granulated copper slag containing Cu(weight %): 0.523, Silica(weight %): 30.1, Lime(weight %): 3.8, Fe(weight %): 42.8, Cd(ppm): 0.003, Co(ppm): 5.6, Ni(ppm): 0.58, Pb(ppm): 10.9 was selected from the copper slag generated during the processing of copper containing concentrate from a copper producing industry.
  • 10 kg of granulated copper slag of size range 5 to 10 mm, lime of amount 2.5 kg and graphite powder of amount 0.6 kg was mixed in a muller for two minutes. 5 kg of pig iron was melted in direct arc furnace. In the molten pool, 0.2 kg of graphite was added.
  • the copper slag mixture was added slowly into the molten pool.
  • the melt temperature was maintained at 1370 to 1390° C. and the reduction time was around 1 h.
  • the slag was skimmed off from the furnace and the melt was tapped to a ladle and finally poured in moulds as well as in standard test blocks. Recovery of iron from the slag was about 85 weight %.
  • the granulated copper slag containing Cu(weight %): 0.523, Silica(weight %): 30.1, Lime(weight %): 3.8, Fe(weight %): 42.8, Cd(ppm): 0.003, Co(ppm): 5.6, Ni(ppm): 0.58, Pb(ppm): 10.9 was selected from the copper slag generated during the processing of copper containing concentrate from a copper producing industry.
  • the copper slag containing Cu(weight %): 0.227, Silica(weight %): 30.9, Lime(weight %) 0.41, Fe(weight %): 36.89, Cd(ppm): 0.003, Co(ppm): 2.72, Ni(ppm): 0.37, Pb(ppm): 5.17 was selected from the copper slag generated during the processing of copper containing concentrate from a copper producing industry. 10 kg of copper slag of size range 5 to 10 mm, lime of amount 3.0 kg and graphite powder of amount 0.5 kg was mixed in a muller for two min. 4 kg of pig iron was melted in direct arc furnace. In the molten pool 0.3 kg of graphite was added.
