Abstract:In order to separate lead, copper and cadmium from iron, aluminum, silicon and other oxides in iron tailings. Using CaCl2 as the chlorinating agent, the influence of temperature and CaCl2 content on the volatilization ratio of hazardous Pb, Cu, and Cd was investigated in the study. The basic characteristics and crystal structure of iron tailings were analyzed using X-ray fluorescence and X-ray diffraction et al. The results show that the contents of Pb, Cd and Cu in iron tailings are 2 230.04, 6.44 and 4 568.00 mg·kg?1, respectively. Sufficient chlorine content is the guarantee for chlorination roasting to remove Pb and Cd from iron tailings. Cu is more dependent on high temperature and CaCl2 addition. With the optimum chlorination roasting conditions at 1 000 °C with 10% of CaCl2, the volatilization ratio of Pb, Cd and Cu were 97.80%, 96.57% and 79.80%, respectively, and the main components of roasted slag have little change compared with iron tailings. Ca, S and SiO2 in iron tailings remain in the roasting slag in the form of CaSO4 and Ca2SiO4 after roasting in chlorination, while Cl hardly observed in the roasting slag. The leaching concentrations of heavy metals in the roasting slag is below the national standards (GB 5085.3-2007). Key words:iron tailings/ heavy metal/ chlorination roasting/ harmless/ solid waste.
