Abstract:A chlorination roasting method was used for separating heavy metalsfrom iron tailings. The influence of chloride (i.e. CaCl2, NaCl and AlCl3∙6H2O), content of chloride, and temperatures on the volatilization of heavy metals was studied. Experimental results showedthat when usingAlCl3∙6H2O as chloride, the volatilization ratios of heavy metals was lower than 30%, due to the prior decomposition of AlCl3∙6H2O at 135℃. With the addition of NaCl, the volatilization ratios of Pb, Zn, Cuachieved above 90%, but only 16.2% of Cr and30.0% of Ni were removed from tailings. The addition of CaCl2 exhibitedthe best volatilization effect compared to NaCl and AlCl3∙6H2O.The hazardous Pb, Zn and Cu were reduced significantly (97.5% of Pb, 99.0% of Zn, 93.3% of Cu) at 900℃, and the maximum volatilization of Ni and Cr was 31.9% and 49.5% at 1000℃. Moreover, the leaching experiment showed the leaching concentration of Cr, Ni, Pb, Zn, Cu in roasted residue could meet the regulatory limit of leachate (GB16889-2008).
