A synergistic co-utilization method of low-grade ferromanganese oxide ore and waste copperas: Selective extraction of Mn and synthesis of MnFe2O4
With the gradual depletion of high-grade manganese ores, developing and utilizing complex refractory ferromanganese oxide ore has become an inevitable strategy to ensure future manganese resource security. In addition, a large amount of waste copperas, a by-product of the titanium dioxide production industry, is piled up near the factory, which seriously restricts the sustainable development of the titanium dioxide production industry. Leveraging the reducing properties of waste copperas, this study proposes a process for the separation and recovery of Fe and Mn through co-roasting low-grade ferromanganese oxide ore with waste copperas. Through regulating the roasting conditions, Mn can be converted into water-soluble MnSO4 and Fe into water-insoluble Fe2O3, and then the effective separation of Fe and Mn can be realized by water leaching. Under optimal conditions, Mn leaching efficiency reached 93.14 % with only 1.82 % Fe dissolution. The leaching solution was treated via hydrolytic precipitation to remove Fe and Al, yielding a solution with an Mn concentration of 17.22 g/L. Subsequently, MnFe2O4 was synthesized via the hydrothermal method, exhibiting a saturation magnetization of 49.98 emu/g, coercivity of 36.30 Oe, and remanent magnetization of 3.75 emu/g. The leaching residue mainly consists of hematite and quartz with Fe grade up to 59.45 %, which can be used as a raw material for iron ore blending. The process proposed not only realizes the separation and recovery of Fe and Mn resources in low-grade ferromanganese oxide ore but also realizes the resource utilization of waste copperas, which can also promote the sustainable development of the titanium dioxide production industry. Moreover, the entire process demonstrates near-zero emissions potential, offering competitive advantages for industrial-scale implementation in terms of both economic and environmental benefits.
期刊介绍:
The Process Safety and Environmental Protection (PSEP) journal is a leading international publication that focuses on the publication of high-quality, original research papers in the field of engineering, specifically those related to the safety of industrial processes and environmental protection. The journal encourages submissions that present new developments in safety and environmental aspects, particularly those that show how research findings can be applied in process engineering design and practice.
PSEP is particularly interested in research that brings fresh perspectives to established engineering principles, identifies unsolved problems, or suggests directions for future research. The journal also values contributions that push the boundaries of traditional engineering and welcomes multidisciplinary papers.
PSEP's articles are abstracted and indexed by a range of databases and services, which helps to ensure that the journal's research is accessible and recognized in the academic and professional communities. These databases include ANTE, Chemical Abstracts, Chemical Hazards in Industry, Current Contents, Elsevier Engineering Information database, Pascal Francis, Web of Science, Scopus, Engineering Information Database EnCompass LIT (Elsevier), and INSPEC. This wide coverage facilitates the dissemination of the journal's content to a global audience interested in process safety and environmental engineering.
