摘要: 针对含钛电炉熔分渣中TiO2面临物相复杂难分离、品位偏低、杂质高富集分离难度大的问题,开展了含钛电炉熔分渣微波焙烧联合分选工艺富集钛的研究。系统研究了微波焙烧对熔分渣富钛相(主要为黑钛石)分离富集的影响,优化了微波焙烧、碱浸及浮选联合工艺参数。通过试验和XRD、SEM-EDS、Zeta电位等分析结果,结合熔分渣焙烧特性、磨矿效率及浮选回收率,明确了微波焙烧对含钛熔分渣物相、微观形貌及相边界的调控作用。研究结果表明,含钛电炉熔分渣的最优微波焙烧工艺参数为物料粒度1~5 mm、微波功率
2400 W、刚玉坩埚承装、900 ℃保温20 min,此条件下熔分渣磨矿后74 μm颗粒占比从原渣的63%提升至96%,显著提升矿相间解离效率。微波焙烧通过选择性加热产生热应力裂纹,减弱黑钛石与镁铝尖晶石、钛辉石的相界面结合力,为后续含钛相有效分离提供了条件。碱浸工艺条件为NaOH质量分数为20%、碱浸时间1 h。浮选最佳工艺条件为浮选剂pH=6、捕获剂油酸钠浓度30 mg/L。含钛熔分渣经微波焙烧-碱浸-浮选联合工艺处理,浮选产物中黑钛石含量为94.2%、回收率85.4%,较原渣相同流程处理结果分别提升38.2%和36.1%,为含钛熔分渣中钛资源有效富集提供了新路线。Abstract: Titanium dioxide (TiO2) in titanium-bearing electric furnace molten slag is characterized by complex mineral phases, low titanium grade, and high impurity content, which greatly increases the difficulty of titanium separation and enrichment. In this work, a combined process of microwave roasting and separation was proposed to realize titanium enrichment from titanium-bearing electric furnace molten slag. The effects of microwave roasting on the separation and enrichment of titanium-rich phases (mainly anosovite) were systematically investigated, and the process parameters of microwave roasting, alkaline leaching and flotation were optimized. Based on experimental results, grinding efficiency, flotation recovery, and comprehensive analyses of XRD, SEM-EDS, and Zeta potential, the regulatory mechanism of microwave roasting on the phase composition, microstructure, and phase boundary characteristics of titanium-bearing molten slag was clarified. The results show that the optimal microwave roasting parameters are as follows: particle size of 1–5 mm, microwave power of2400 W, roasting in a corundum crucible, and heat preservation at 900 ℃ for 20 min. Under these conditions, the proportion of ground particles finer than 74 μm increases from 63% for the raw slag to 96%, which significantly improves the mineral dissociation efficiency. Microwave roasting generates thermal stress cracks via selective heating, which weakens the interfacial bonding strength between anosovite, magnesia-alumina spinel and titanaugite, thereby providing favorable conditions for the subsequent efficient separation of titanium-bearing phases. The optimal alkaline leaching condition is a NaOH concentration of 20% for 1 h. The best flotation performance is achieved at a slurry pH of 6 and a sodium oleate collector concentration of 30 mg/L. After treatment by the combined microwave roasting–alkaline leaching–flotation process, the anosovite content and recovery rate of flotation concentrates reach 94.2% and 85.4%, which are 38.2% and 36.1% higher than those of the raw slag treated by the same process, respectively. This study provides an effective and feasible technical route for the efficient enrichment and utilization of titanium resources from titanium-bearing molten slag. -
