McKie & Beckett [57] ABSTRACT A process for the beneficiation of ironcontaining titaniferous material in which, during one stage of the beneficiation, the iron content of the material is reduced with hydrogen in the presence of added steam to control the rate of reduction.
11 Claims, No Drawings PROCESS FOR REDUCING IRON CONTENT OF TITANIFEROUS MATERIAL This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 60124, filed July 31, 1970.
The present invention relates to the reduction of ironcontaining materials, particularly to the reduction of ironcontaining titaniferous materials.
In some processes for the beneficiation of ironcontaining titaniferous material such as ilmenite or leucoxene it is advisable to reduce the iron content substantially wholly to the ferrous state while avoiding the formation of significant amounts of metallic iron or trivalent titanium. For example, a suitable product from such a process is one which contains not more than 2 percent of the iron content in a form other than the ferrous state.
In the past the control of the reduction at elevated temperature to produce such a product has been found difficult.
For example, when hydrogen is used the reduction is generally so rapid that it is difficult to avoid the formation of unacceptable amounts of metallic iron and/or trivalent titanium. When a solid reductant such as carbon is used, on the other hand, it has been found that at temperatures up to about 1,000C the reduction is unacceptably slow whereas at higher temperatures it is very rapid and gives rise to excessive amounts of metallic iron.
One method by which the foregoing difficulties may be avoided is by the use of hydrocarbon containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, particularly methane, as a reductant.
It is an object of the present invention to provide another method whereby these difficulties may be overcome.
Accordingly, the present invention is a process for reducing the iron content of iron-containing titaniferous material by contacting the material at an elevated temperature with hydrogen in the presence of added steam.
The iron-containing titaniferous material is normally an ilmenite or leucoxene and preferably the former. Such materials may have an iron content in the range of about 5 to 55 percent and more commonly one in the range 30 to 46 percent by weight (expressed as FeO).
The iron-containing titaniferous material is preferably contacted with the reducing agent when in finelydivided form, for exaample when having an average particle, size in the range 50p. to 300p, and preferably one in the range 100p. to 200;!
as nitrogen, argon or carbon dioxide into the hydrogen/steam mixture, for example to ensure fluidisation and/or to assist in controlling the rate of reaction.
Temperatures at which the iron-containing titaniferous material may be contacted with hydrogen and steam (and other gas if present) are suitably in the range 600C to 1, C but are more preferably in the range 650C to 950C and particularly in the range 700C to 900C.
The process is conveniently carried out in a continuous manner, i.e. in which reduced material is continuously or intermittently removed froin, and unreduced material is continuously and intermittently added to, the reaction zone.
The proportion of steam added to the hydrogen will determine the degree of reduction which takes place. For example, when using hyrogen without the introduction of steam both metallic iron and trivalent titanium are normally formed as well as ferrous iron if the reduction period is prolonged. As the proportion of steam introduced is progressively increased, say up to 10 percent by volume on the hydrogen present, the amount of metallic iron formed falls (and generally becomes constant at a very low figure) while the amount of ferrous iron (as opposed to ferric iron) may also fall slightly. It is preferred, therefore, to add an amount of steam which gives a product with a very small proportion of metallic iron and a very high proportion of ferrous iron. Proportions of about 1 to 7 percent steam are therefore preferred, particularly proportions in the range 2 percent to 5 percent, by volume on the hydrogen present.
The process of the present invention is particularly suitable for reducing iron-containing titaniferous material which has been subjected to a preliminary oxidation step and/or which will subsequently be subjected to a leaching step, for example with a mineral acid such as aqueous hydrochloric acid to remove the reduced iron. In the latter case the comparative absence of trivalent titanium and ferric salts is of particular value if the solution is to be subsequently treated to recover finely-divided iron or iron oxide and/or to recover hydrogen chloride, for example, by the Aman process.
The following Example shows various embodiments of the process of the present invention.
EXAMPLE A beach sand ilmenite containing 39.5 percent by weight of iron (expressed as FeO) was oxidised at 875C until substantially all the iron was in the ferric state.
Equal quantities of the material were then placed in turn into a 3 inch diameter bed and the bed was heated. When the temperature reached 700C the bed was fluidised with hydrogen and with mixtures of hydrogen and steam at a flow rate five times the minimum fluidising velocity for the times shown in Table 1 while maintaining the temperature of 700C.
The materials were analysed after reduction for 60 minutes and the results are given in Table 2.
