Microwave Roasting Pyrite for Removal of the Sulfur and Arsenic

Article Preview

Abstract:

The application of microwave technique in the roasting pyrite which contained little arsenic was described. The characteristics of microwave absorption of pyrite were investigated. The results indicated that pyrite was a good absorbent of microwave and heated rapidly to high temperature by microwave flied in a short time, causing decomposition and oxidization to removal the sulfur and arsenic. The effects of microwave irradiation time and sample mass on the removal efficiencies of sulfur and arsenic with microwave power of 4 kW and 6 kW were investigated. The big microwave power could shorten the time for removal of sulfur and arsenic. Finally iron concentrate contained 64.52% Fe, S<0.1%, As<0.094% were obtained.
