10 Claims, No Drawings METHOD OF IMPROVING THE GRINDAIBILITY F ALUMINA-SILICA ORES This is a division, of application Ser. No. 74,169, filed on Sept. 20, 1970.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention is in the broad field of metallurgy and relates primarily to the beneficiation of aluminus clays or alumina-silica ores for subsequent use in the production of aluminum-silicon alloys.
Natural clays or ores containing aluminum-silicates or alumina-silica usually contain relatively large amounts of iron species generally in the forms of ferrous and/or ferric oxide. Such iron is a harmful impurity in the production of aluminum-silicon alloys. Unless the iron species are removed from the ore prior to car bothermic reduction for producing aluminum-silicon alloys, the resulting aluminum-silicon alloy end product will contain undesirable amounts of iron. In general,- the freer an aluminum-silicon alloy is of other elements, the more useful is the alloy. Alloys containing low amounts of iron are therefore extremely desirable.
The present process is primarily adapted for removing or lowering the iron species content of alumina-silica ores prior to their carbothermic reduction into aluminum-silicon alloys. It has been discovered that calcining or thermal treatment of the raw ore or aluminum clay in an air or oxidative atmosphere promotes the agglomeration of the iron containing species and their more facile separation from the aluminus material by magnetic methods. An additional benefit of the calcination or roasting is that the grinding characteristics of the ore are modified so that less fines are produced on grinding thereby resulting in a lower loss of valuable material.
It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide an economical method of physically beneficiating alumina-silica ores for use in the production of aluminum-silicon alloys.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Natural alumina-silica clays or clay minerals are heated in an oxidative atmosphere to a temperature of from about ll00 C to about l400 C for a period of about 2 hours to about 48 hours. The calcined ore is then ground and/or crushed into fine particles of a mesh size from about 40 to +400 U. S. Sieve Series. The magnetic iron values are then separated from the non-magnetic mineral values by magnetic separation.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT In the preferred embodiment of the invention a natural alumina-silica clay or clay mineral such as diaspore clay previously crushed or ground to a convenient size usually about 3 mesh, U. S. Sieve Series is heated in a kiln or other suitable container to a temperature of about l300-l400 C in air, oxygen or other suitable oxidative atmosphere for a period of from about 2-5 hours.
Prior to calcining, the ore particles should be of a size to permit convenient handling thereof. Although the particle size of the raw ore is not critical, an initial particle size of about one-quarter inch to about onehalf inch in diameter produces favorable results. After calcining or oxidative roasting, the ore is ground to a fine particle size of about -40 on 400 mesh, -U. S." Sieve Series.
The particles of ore are then magnetically separated by any suitable means. An induced roll high intensity magnetic separator has been found to be satisfactory. Calcination in air or an oxidative atmosphere agglomerates the iron species and improves their magnetic properties enabling the iron species to be more readily removed by magnetic separation. An air flush preheated to about 1000 C and introduced during calcination of the clay or ore at a rate of about 2-3 cubic feet per minute produces exemplary results.
Preheating of the air or oxidation medium permits conservation of heat energy and makes the process more economical. The quantity of air, oxygen or other suitable oxidation medium should be sufficient to 'accomplish the desired oxidation or agglomeration. The rate the air or oxidation medium is introduced during calcining will vary with the size and type of equipment used in the process.
Although the present invention is suitable for beneficiation of any alumina-silica ores, it is especially useful in the beneficiation of diaspore clay and kyanite clay, or clays containing diaspore, boehmite and/or kaolinite and iron species. Although not wishing to be bound by any particular theory, it is believed that the following occurs during Calcination:
The following examples are illustrative of the invention:
EXAMPLE A A composite sample of diaspore clay containing diaspore, boehmite and kaolinite as predominant minerals and small amounts of siderite, goethite and hematite of about 4/40 mesh was heated in air for two hours in a furnace at a temperature of l380-l4l0 C. The resulting material had visible spots and nodules of magnetic iron oxide. The sample was crushed in a mortar and pestle to percent minus 40 mesh. Approximately 17 percent was separated with a small hand magnet. The magnetic fraction was black and shiny in appearance. The non-magnetic fraction still had black particles in it. Conversely, no magnetic fraction could be separated from an original non-calcined diaspore clay sample with the same small hand magnet.
EXAMPLE B EXAMPLE C Two diaspore clay samples, containing diaspore,
boehmite and kaolinite as predominant minerals and small amounts of siderite, goethite and hematite, of 550 grams each were calcined in air at 1300 C i C in a furnace for approximately six hours. The two batches were ground together for 15 minutes in a 9-inch laboratory rod mill. A wet sieve analysis of the ground mixure. is shown. i a leji g s nafts s TABLE 1 Wet Sieve Analysis Mesh Wt Wt +30 173.8 22.3 30/40 123.0 15.8 40/100 313.0 40.2 100/200 103.6 13.3 200/270 33.1 4.2 270/400 30.6 3.9 400 N.

One sample was calcined at 1300 C for approximately 6 hours. Each of the samples was then separately ground dry in a laboratory rod mill for 15 minutes. Subsequently the particle size of the samples and the amount of each particle were determined. The calcined sample produced about 25 percent fewer fines (-400 mesh) than the non-calcined sample.
