Abstract
Iron ore tailings (IOTs), the residue materials generated during iron ore processing, pose environmental challenges due to their massive volume and potential impact on ecosystems. This study proposes a sustainable approach to manage and utilize this solid waste by converting it into value-added composite materials through high-temperature thermochemical reactions. Experiments are conducted in a tubular reactor at various reaction temperatures and times, and the resulting product samples are comprehensively characterized to elucidate their chemical compositional, physical, microstructural, thermal, and electrical properties. The results reveal that at optimal reaction temperatures (1230–1260 °C) and reaction times (20–120 min), the synthesized product is predominantly composed of diopside (CaMgSi2O6) and akermanite (Ca2MgSi2O7). Additionally, we demonstrate that the product can be diopside-rich or akermanite-rich when blending silica and MgO powders into the IOTs to control the starting material composition, opening a promising avenue for large-scale sustainable utilization of industrial solid waste.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Advanced Powder Technology is to meet the demand for an international journal that integrates all aspects of science and technology research on powder and particulate materials. The journal fulfills this purpose by publishing original research papers, rapid communications, reviews, and translated articles by prominent researchers worldwide.
The editorial work of Advanced Powder Technology, which was founded as the International Journal of the Society of Powder Technology, Japan, is now shared by distinguished board members, who operate in a unique framework designed to respond to the increasing global demand for articles on not only powder and particles, but also on various materials produced from them.
Advanced Powder Technology covers various areas, but a discussion of powder and particles is required in articles. Topics include: Production of powder and particulate materials in gases and liquids(nanoparticles, fine ceramics, pharmaceuticals, novel functional materials, etc.); Aerosol and colloidal processing; Powder and particle characterization; Dynamics and phenomena; Calculation and simulation (CFD, DEM, Monte Carlo method, population balance, etc.); Measurement and control of powder processes; Particle modification; Comminution; Powder handling and operations (storage, transport, granulation, separation, fluidization, etc.)
