- FIG. 1 shows an example of the flow of the nickel concentration treatment method for saprolite ore according to the present invention.
- the low Ni grade saprolite ore 1 is first divided into a sieve 5 and an sieve 4 having an ore particle size of 50 mm or less by crushing 2 and sieving (50 mm) 3.
- the sieve top 4 is crushed to an ore particle size of 50 mm or less by a closed circuit crushing system.

- the 9 portions under the sieve obtained here are recovered as the nickel concentrating part 14.

- the high specific gravity portion 11 becomes the waste ore 13.
- the low specific gravity portion 12 is recovered as the nickel concentration portion 14. Further, if necessary, the obtained nickel concentrating part 14 is mixed with high nickel grade saprolite ore 15 and loaded.
- the saprolite ore used in the above method is not particularly limited, but among various saprolite ores, calcium or sodium grade is high, and serpentinization of ultramafic rocks.
- a low nickel grade saprolite ore having a relatively low nickel grade and a nickel grade of 2.3% by mass or less, particularly a nickel grade of 1.8 to 2.3% by mass is preferred.
- saprolite ores with nickel grades exceeding 2.3% by mass can also be treated, but they can be treated as they are by conventional ferronickel smelting, so appropriate depending on the balance between the cost of the above method and the smelting costs by improving the nickel grade. You can choose.
- the step (1) is a step of subjecting the saprolite ore to crushing treatment and adjusting the ore particle size to a size that passes through a 50 mm sieve.
- Mined saprolite ore is usually first classified by a grizzly with 150 mm openings. Since the net is below the target quality, it is rejected as a gap, while the lower part of the net is treated as a product, but nickel is concentrated on the surface layer.
- a grizzly mesh lower part is used as the target ore, and crushing is performed to adjust the ore particle size to a size that passes through a 50 mm sieve.
- the crushing process may be performed with a normal jaw crusher. However, the nickel concentration is not performed in the size reduction by impact and compaction crushing, and there is no problem in handling in the subsequent process.
- the step (2) is a step of subjecting the crushed ore obtained in the step (1) to a dry grinding treatment of the surface layer portion by attrition.
- a so-called attrition grinding process is performed, in which the surface layer of the saprolite ore is scraped off by a dry method using a cement mixer or the like.
- the surface layer portion of the saprolite ore has a high porosity and is very easily scraped off, so that a grinding medium or the like is not required, and attrition is performed by attrition of the saprolite ore particles.
- the attrition effect is not sufficient, the nickel recovery rate is low because the high-concentration portion of nickel and the low-grade portion where nickel is not concentrated are not sufficiently separated. If it is too strong, the portion where nickel is not concentrated is also finely divided and separation in the subsequent process becomes difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm appropriate operation conditions during operation.
- step (2) in order to improve the handling property, it is desirable to perform the drying process in combination with the drying process, for example, prior to the dry grinding process.
- attrition is usually performed by stirring a high-concentration water slurry at a high speed, but in the low nickel grade saprolite ore that is the object of the method of the present invention, water is added. This causes the particles to swell. Therefore, in wet attrition, it is difficult to lower the moisture content even if filtration using a filter press is performed as a post-attack process.
- the ground ore obtained in the step (2) is subjected to a dry classification treatment at a classification point selected from 0.5 to 2.0 mm, and then the particle size below the classification point.
- This is a step of recovering the ore portion having a nickel concentrate.
- the particles having a particle size of more than 2.0 mm the particles at the portion where nickel is not concentrated and the portions where nickel is concentrated remain in a mixed state, so that the concentration of nickel is insufficient.
- nickel is concentrated in the particles having a particle size of 0.5 mm or less obtained by the attrition as described above.
- the classification point is most appropriately selected depending on the ore.
- the ore portion having a particle size exceeding the classification point obtained in the step (3) is subjected to dry specific gravity separation, and then the ore portion having a specific gravity of 2.0 or less is recovered as a nickel concentrate. It is a process to do. That is, in the ore portion having a particle size exceeding the classification point obtained in the step (3), nickel is concentrated to particles having a high porosity, and the apparent specific gravity is as small as 2.0 or less. On the other hand, since the nickel adsorbed on the surface layer has already been removed by the attrition, particles having a specific gravity of more than 2.0 have a low nickel concentration rate. Here, the particles having a specific gravity exceeding 2.0 are discarded as waste (waste stone) because nickel is not concentrated.
- a dry specific gravity separator such as a dry fluid bed specific gravity separator, an air table, or a dry jig is preferably used.
- a dry fluid bed specific gravity separator such as a dry fluid bed specific gravity separator, an air table, or a dry jig is preferably used.
- adopt wet specific gravity separation methods such as a normal jig and heavy liquid beneficiation.
- a dry fluidized bed specific gravity separator as a dry specific gravity separator, since there are voids in the coarse particles, the separation specific gravity is lower than the wet specific gravity separation, A specific gravity of 1.6 to 2.0 is used.
- the ore portion having a particle size below the classification point obtained in the step (3) and the ore portion having a specific gravity of 2.0 or less obtained in the step (4) It is a step of mixing with saprolite ore for ferronickel smelting raw material having That is, saprolite ore originally contains about 20 to 35% of moisture, but when it contains moisture, it is highly viscous and difficult to screen. Not only does nickel loss occur, but also a major problem in terms of work environment occurs during handling. For this reason, when water is sprayed to suppress dust, there is a problem in that the purpose of reducing the moisture content by corner drying is hindered and the purpose of reducing the transportation cost and the drying cost in smelting.
- the above ore in the nickel-enriched portion is mixed with saprolite ore having a nickel quality of 2.3% by mass or more which does not need to be applied to the method of the present invention, and the dust in the saprolite ore is reduced.
- the above steps (1) to (4) are carried out in sequence, so that low nickel grade saprolite ore with a nickel grade of 1.8 to 2.3% by mass is used as a raw material.
- the nickel can be concentrated in a dry process including the above, and can be concentrated to a nickel quality of 2.3 mass% or more that can be processed by a conventional ferronickel smelting process. This simultaneously reduces transportation costs and smelting costs, and does not require a tailing dam even at a mine site, and is an environmentally friendly process with low environmental impact that does not require water treatment.
- the second aspect of the nickel concentration treatment method for saprolite ore according to the present invention is characterized by including the step (1 ′) instead of the step (1) and the step (2).
- (1 ') The saprolite ore is subjected to crushing, drying and dry grinding using a stirrer that simultaneously performs crushing, drying and dry grinding, and the ore particle size is 50 mm. Adjust the size to pass through.
- saprolite ore for example, ore classified with a 150 mm opening grizzly, is crushed and dried using an agitation dryer capable of obtaining an attrition effect by agitation while drying. It is important that the ore particle size is adjusted to a size that passes through a sieve having an opening of 50 mm. Thereby, the process (1) and the process (2) can be omitted. That is, when saprolite ore is dried with high-temperature hot air or direct fire, the water contained in the pores rapidly expands, causing thermal crushing, and the ore surface layer becomes very brittle. Therefore, when the saprolite ore is dried, crushing, drying and dry grinding can be carried out simultaneously by using a stirring dryer that dries the feed while stirring.
- the step (3) and the step (4) used in the first embodiment can be carried out following the step (1 ′).
- the following steps (2') to (4 ') are preferably performed.
- (2 ′) The ground ore obtained in the step (1 ′) is subjected to a dry classification treatment at a classification point selected from 2 to 5 mm.
- (3 ′) The ore portion having a particle size equal to or smaller than the classification point obtained in the step (2 ′) is subjected to a dry classification treatment at a classification point selected from 0.01 to 2.0 mm, and then the classification The ore portion having a particle size below the point is recovered as a nickel concentrate.
- (4 ′) The ore portion having a particle size exceeding the classification point obtained in the step (2 ′) is subjected to dry specific gravity separation, and then the ore portion having a specific gravity of 2.0 or less is recovered as a nickel concentrate.
- the saprolite ore used in the above method (second aspect) is not particularly limited, but the same one as in the above method (first aspect) is used.
- a grizzly mesh lower part is used as the target ore, and the ore particle size is adjusted to a size that passes through a 50-mm sieve.
- the sieve top is crushed to an ore particle size of 50 mm or less by a closed circuit crushing system.
- the saprolite ore is subjected to crushing, drying and dry grinding using an agitating dryer that simultaneously performs crushing, drying and dry grinding, and the ore particle size is 50 mm. It is the process of adjusting to the size which passes the sieve of the opening of this.
- crushing, drying and dry grinding processes drying temperature, residence time, stirring state (rotation speed, shape, etc. of stirring equipment) etc. that are crushed to a desired particle size distribution and at the same time sufficient attrition effect can be obtained. Conditions are chosen. If the attrition effect is not sufficient, the nickel recovery rate is low because the high-concentration portion of nickel is not sufficiently separated from the low-grade portion where nickel is not concentrated. On the other hand, the attrition is strong. If the amount is too large, the portion where nickel is not concentrated is also finely divided, and separation in a subsequent process becomes difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm appropriate operation conditions during operation.
- the agitation dryer used in the step (1 ′) is not particularly limited, and a drying furnace equipped with a stirring blade that can stir strongly while drying the ore, a heated peripheral discharge type self-pulverizing mill. Alternatively, a heated peripheral discharge type semi-autogenous grinding mill is used.
- the drying temperature is not particularly limited, and a temperature at which the saprolite ore can be dried is used, but 600 to 1200 ° C. is preferable. As a result, the water contained in the pores of the saprolite ore expands rapidly, so that thermal crushing is performed and the ore surface layer becomes very brittle, so that a sufficient attrition effect is obtained.
- the step (2 ′) is a step of subjecting the ground ore obtained in the step (1 ′) to a dry classification treatment at a classification point selected from 2 to 5 mm.
- a classification point selected from 2 to 5 mm.
- the particles having a particle size of more than 5 mm the particles in the portion where nickel is not concentrated and the portions where nickel is concentrated are mixed and remain, so that the concentration of nickel is insufficient.
- nickel having a particle size of 2 mm or less obtained by the attrition as described above is concentrated to some extent.
- the classification point is most appropriately selected depending on the ore. Although it does not specifically limit as a dry classification process used at the process of said (2 '), A sieving method is used.
- the ore portion having a particle size equal to or smaller than the classification point obtained in the step (2 ′) is subjected to a dry classification treatment at a classification point selected from 0.01 to 2.0 mm.
- the ore portion having a particle size below the classification point is then recovered as a nickel concentrate.
- the concentration of nickel is insufficient because there are many particles at a portion where nickel is not concentrated.
- nickel is concentrated in the particles having a particle size of 0.01 mm or less obtained by the attrition as described above.
- the classification point is most appropriately selected depending on the ore.
- the dry classification treatment used in the step (3 ′) is not particularly limited, but an airflow classification method effective for fine powder classification is used.
- the ore portion having a particle size exceeding the classification point obtained in the step (2 ′) is subjected to dry specific gravity separation, and then the ore portion having a specific gravity of 2.0 or less is concentrated in nickel. It is a process of collecting as a product. That is, in the ore portion having a particle size exceeding the classification point obtained in the step (2 ′), nickel is concentrated into particles having a high porosity, and the apparent specific gravity is as small as 2.0 or less. This is because the nickel adsorbed on the surface layer has already been removed by the attrition, and thus the concentration ratio of nickel is low for particles having a specific gravity of more than 2.0. Here, the particles having a specific gravity exceeding 2.0 are discarded as waste (waste stone) because nickel is not concentrated.
- a dry specific gravity separator such as a dry fluid bed specific gravity separator, an air table, or a dry jig is preferably used.
- a dry fluid bed specific gravity separator such as a dry fluid bed specific gravity separator, an air table, or a dry jig
- adopt wet specific gravity separation methods such as a normal jig and heavy liquid beneficiation.
- a dry fluidized bed specific gravity separator as a dry specific gravity separator, since there are voids in the coarse particles, the separation specific gravity is lower than the wet specific gravity separation, A specific gravity of 1.6 to 2.0 is used.
- FIG. 3 shows an example of the flow of the nickel concentration treatment method for saprolite ore according to the present invention.
- the low Ni grade saprolite ore 1 is divided into a sieve 5 and an sieve 4 having an ore particle size of 50 mm or less by crushing, drying and dry grinding 17 and sieving (50 mm) 3.
- the sieve top 4 is crushed to an ore particle size of 50 mm or less by a closed circuit crushing system.
- the 5 parts under the sieve are divided by sieving (5 mm) 18 with a classification point of 5 mm.
- the 19 portions on the sieve obtained here are separated by the dry specific gravity separation 10 into a high specific gravity portion 11 and a low specific gravity portion 12 having a specific gravity of 2.0 or more.
- the high specific gravity portion 11 becomes the waste ore 13.
- the low specific gravity portion 12 is recovered as the nickel concentration portion 14.
- the portion under the sieve 20 is divided by the airflow classification 21 again.
- the fine grain part 22 obtained here is collected as the nickel concentrating part 14.
- the coarse grain part 23 becomes the waste ore 13.
- the obtained nickel concentrating part 14 is mixed with high nickel grade saprolite ore 15 and loaded.
- the above steps (1 ′) to (4 ′) are sequentially performed, so that a low nickel grade saprolite ore with a nickel grade of 1.8 to 2.3 mass% is used as a raw material.
- Nickel can be concentrated by a dry process including specific gravity separation, and can be concentrated to a nickel quality of 2.3 mass% or more that can be processed by a conventional ferronickel smelting process. This simultaneously reduces transportation costs and smelting costs, and does not require a tailing dam even at a mine site, and is an environmentally friendly process with low environmental impact that does not require water treatment.
- the nickel used in the examples was analyzed by ICP emission analysis.
- Example 1 The nickel concentration treatment of saprolite ore was performed according to the flow sheet of FIG. First, the mined saprolite ores A to I were crushed to 50 mm or less with a jaw crusher in order to improve the handleability in the subsequent process. Next, the ore crushed to 50 mm or less was dried, and then subjected to attrition with a cement mixer, and subsequently subjected to dry sieving at a classification point of 2.0 mm. The classified coarse particles were sent to dry specific gravity separation, and separated at a specific gravity of 2.0 by a dry fluid bed specific gravity separator. Specific gravity separation was carried out for each particle size, but in the range of 2.0 to 5.0 mm, sufficient separation could not be performed due to interaction with the medium forming the fluidized bed.
- the ore portion heavier than the specific gravity of 2.0 having a low nickel concentration is excluded as a waste (waste stone). Further, the ore portion having a specific gravity of 1.6 to 2.0 was recovered as a nickel concentrate together with the fine particle portion of 2.0 mm or less classified in the previous step. Thereafter, the nickel concentrate obtained in this step, the raw material ore, the nickel quality of the scrap, the weight distribution rate of the nickel concentrate, and the nickel recovery rate were determined. The results are shown in Table 2.

Abstract
Description
上記サプロライト鉱は、古くよりフェロニッケルを生産するために実用的な原料鉱石として使用されているが、近年、高ニッケル品位のサプロライトが枯渇しつつあり、フェロニッケル製錬に利用される原料鉱石のニッケル品位が低下してきており、経済的な生産上の大きな問題となってきている。

(1´)サプロライト鉱を、破砕処理、乾燥処理及び乾式磨砕処理を同時に行なう撹拌式乾燥機を用いて、破砕、乾燥及び乾式磨砕処理に付し、鉱石粒度を50mmの目開きの篩を通過するサイズに調整する。

また、これにより、枯渇しつつあるニッケル鉱石の資源量の増加、輸送及び製錬費の低減、さらに環境問題の防止を図ることができる。
さらに、得られたニッケル濃縮物を、本発明の濃縮処理方法を必要としない高ニッケル品位で、付着水分を含んだサプロライト鉱と混合した後に輸送させることで、乾式システムで問題となる粉塵の発生を抑え、ハンドリング性を向上させ、かつ環境衛生上の改善も図れる操業形態を提供することができる。
本発明のサプロライト鉱のニッケル濃縮処理方法の第1の態様としては、下記の(1)~(4)の工程を含むことを特徴とする。
(1)サプロライト鉱を破砕処理に付し、鉱石粒度を50mmの目開きの篩を通過するサイズに調整する。
(2)前記(1)の工程で得られた破砕鉱石を、アトリッションにより表層部の乾式磨砕処理に付す。
(3)前記(2)の工程で得られた磨砕鉱石を、0.5~2.0mmから選ばれる分級点で乾式分級処理に付し、次いで該分級点以下の粒度を有する鉱石部分をニッケル濃縮物として回収する。
(4)前記(3)の工程で得られた分級点を超える粒度の鉱石部分を乾式比重分離処理に付し、次いで比重2.0以下の鉱石部分をニッケル濃縮物として回収する。
(5)前記(3)の工程で得られた分級点以下の粒度の鉱石部分と、(4)の工程で得られた比重2.0以下の鉱石部分とを、付着水を有するフェロニッケル製錬原料用のサプロライト鉱石に混合する。
図2より、セメントミキサーで磨砕処理した場合(a)には、ニッケルの濃縮が見られるのに対し、衝撃、及び圧縮破砕を中心とするジョークラッシャーの場合(b)では、ニッケルの濃縮はほとんど認められず、これより、アトリッション効果が非常に強いことが分かる。
図1において、まず、低Ni品位サプロライト鉱1は、破砕2及び篩分け(50mm)3により、鉱石粒度が50mm以下の篩下5と篩上4に分割される。篩上4は、閉回路の破砕システムにより、50mm以下の鉱石粒度に破砕される。次に、篩下5部分は、乾式磨砕6され、次いで2mmの分級点による篩分け(2mm)7により、分割される。ここで得られる篩下9部分は、ニッケル濃縮部14として回収される。また、篩上8部分は、乾式比重分離10により、比重2.0以上の高比重部11と低比重部12に分離される。高比重部11は、廃鉱13となる。低比重部12は、ニッケル濃縮部14として回収される。
さらに、必要により、得られたニッケル濃縮部14は、高ニッケル品位のサプロライト鉱15と混合され、船積16される。
採掘されたサプロライト鉱石は、通常、まず、150mmの目開きのグリズリーにて分級される。その網上は、対象品位以下であるのでズリとして棄却され、一方、その網下部は、製品として取り扱われるが、その表層にはニッケルが濃縮している。
ここで、対象鉱石としてグリズリーの網下部が用いられ、鉱石粒度を50mmの目開きの篩を通過するサイズに調整するため、破砕処理される。破砕処理は、通常のジョークラッシャーにて実施すればよいが、衝撃及び圧密破砕によるサイズ低減ではニッケルの濃縮は行われず、後工程で取り扱うのに問題は生じない。
ところで、一般的に、アトリッションは高濃度の水スラリーを高速度撹拌することにより、実施されることが通常であるが、本発明の方法の対象である低ニッケル品位のサプロライト鉱では、水を加えることにより粒子が膨潤する。したがって、湿式のアトリッションでは、アトリッションの後工程としてフィルタープレスを用いたろ過を実施しても、水分率を落とすことは困難である。
ただし、乾式比重分離装置として、乾式流動層比重分離装置を用いる際には、粗粒子内に空隙が存在することから、湿式比重分離と比較し分離比重点が低くなり、分離比重点としては、比重1.6~2.0が用いられる。
さらに、(5)の工程により、本発明の濃縮処理方法を必要としない高ニッケル品位のサプロライト鉱と混合した後に輸送させることで、乾式システムで問題となる粉塵の発生を抑え、ハンドリング性を向上させ、かつ環境衛生上の改善も図れる操業形態を提供することができる。
(1´)サプロライト鉱を、破砕処理、乾燥処理及び乾式磨砕処理を同時に行なう撹拌式乾燥機を用いて、破砕、乾燥及び乾式磨砕処理に付し、鉱石粒度を50mmの目開きの篩を通過するサイズに調整する。
すなわち、サプロライト鉱を高温度の熱風又は直火で乾燥すると、孔隙に含有される水分が急激に膨張することにより熱破砕が行われ、鉱石表層が、非常に脆くなる。したがって、サプロライト鉱の乾燥に際し、供給物を加熱下に撹拌しながら乾燥する撹拌式乾燥機を用いることによって、破砕、乾燥及び乾式磨砕を同時に実施することができる。
(2´)前記(1´)の工程で得られた磨砕鉱石を、2~5mmから選ばれる分級点で乾式分級処理に付す。
(3´)前記(2´)の工程で得られた前記分級点以下の粒度を有する鉱石部分を、0.01~2.0mmから選ばれる分級点で乾式分級処理に付し、次いで該分級点以下の粒度を有する鉱石部分をニッケル濃縮物として回収する。
(4´)前記(2´)の工程で得られた分級点を超える粒度の鉱石部分を、乾式比重分離処理に付し、次いで比重2.0以下の鉱石部分をニッケル濃縮物として回収する。
上記破砕、乾燥及び乾式磨砕処理においては、所望の粒度分布に破砕され、同時に十分なアトリッション効果が得られるような乾燥温度、滞留時間、撹拌状態(撹拌設備の回転数、形状等)等の条件が選ばれる。なお、アトリッション効果が十分でない場合には、ニッケルが高濃縮した部位とニッケルが濃縮していない低品位の部位との分離が十分に行われないのでニッケル回収率が低くなり、一方、アトリッションが強すぎる場合は、ニッケルが濃縮していない部位も細粒化してしまい、後工程での分離が難しくなるので、操業時に適切な操業条件を確認する必要がある。
ここで、乾燥温度としては、特に限定されるものではなく、上記サプロライト鉱を乾燥することができる温度が用いられるが、600~1200℃が好ましい。これにより、サプロライト鉱の孔隙に含有される水分が急激に膨張することにより熱破砕が行われ、鉱石表層が非常に脆くなるので、十分なアトリッション効果が得られる。
上記(2´)の工程で用いる乾式分級処理としては、特に限定されるものではないが、篩分け方法が用いられる。
ここで、粒度が2.0mmを超える粒子には、ニッケルが濃縮していない部位の粒子が多くあるため、ニッケルの濃縮が不十分である。また、前述のようにアトリッションすることにより得られる粒度0.01mm以下の粒子は、ニッケルが濃縮されている。なお、分級点は、鉱石により最も適切な条件が選ばれる。
上記(3´)の工程で用いる乾式分級処理としては、特に限定されるものではないが、微粉末の分級に効果的な気流分級法が用いられる。
ただし、乾式比重分離装置として、乾式流動層比重分離装置を用いる際には、粗粒子内に空隙が存在することから、湿式比重分離と比較し分離比重点が低くなり、分離比重点としては、比重1.6~2.0が用いられる。
図3において、まず、低Ni品位サプロライト鉱1は、破砕、乾燥及び乾式磨砕17及び篩分け(50mm)3により、鉱石粒度が50mm以下の篩下5と篩上4に分割される。篩上4は、閉回路の破砕システムにより、50mm以下の鉱石粒度に破砕される。次に、篩下5部分は、5mmの分級点による篩分け(5mm)18により、分割される。ここで得られる篩上19部分は、乾式比重分離10により、比重2.0以上の高比重部11と低比重部12に分離される。高比重部11は、廃鉱13となる。低比重部12は、ニッケル濃縮部14として回収される。また、篩下20部分は、再度の気流分級21により、分割される。ここで得られる細粒部22は、ニッケル濃縮部14として回収される。また、粗粒部23は、廃鉱13となる。
さらに、必要により、得られたニッケル濃縮部14は、高ニッケル品位のサプロライト鉱15と混合され、船積16される。
さらに、(5´)の工程により、本発明の濃縮処理方法を必要としない高ニッケル品位のサプロライト鉱と混合した後に輸送させることで、乾式システムで問題となる粉塵の発生を抑え、ハンドリング性を向上させ、かつ環境衛生上の改善も図れる操業形態を提供することができる。
サプロライト鉱のニッケル濃縮処理を、図1のフローシートにしたがって実施した。
まず、採掘されたサプロライト鉱A~Iは、後工程のハンドリング性向上のため、ジョークラッシャーにて50mm以下に破砕した。次に、50mm以下に破砕された鉱石を乾燥後、セメントミキサーでアトリッションを実施し、続いて、分級点2.0mmで乾式篩をおこなった。分級された粗粒物は、乾式比重分離に送られ、乾式流動層比重分離装置にて比重2.0で分離した。なお、比重分離は粒度別に実施されたが、2.0~5.0mmの粒度の範囲では、流動層を形成する媒体との相互作用のため、充分な分離を行うことができなかった。
ここで、ニッケル濃縮度の低い比重2.0より重い鉱石部分はズリ(廃石)として排除される。また、比重1.6~2.0の鉱石部分は、前工程で分級した2.0mm以下の細粒部とあわせてニッケル濃縮物として回収した。その後、この工程により得たニッケル濃縮物、原料鉱石及びズリのニッケル品位、ニッケル濃縮物の重量分布率、並びにニッケル回収率を求めた。結果を表2に示す。
サプロライト鉱のニッケル濃縮処理を、図3のフローシートにしたがって実施した。
まず、150mmの目開きのグリズリーにて分級されたサプロライト鉱J、Kは、撹拌機付乾燥器(新日本海重工製)で乾燥温度85℃、滞留時間20分、撹拌回転数175rpmの条件で乾燥後、分級点50mmで乾式篩を行い、50mm以下の粒度の鉱石を準備した。
得られた鉱石の粒度分布を表3に示す。なお、粒度分布の測定は、乾式ロータップ法で行い、表中のD90~D10は、積算質量分布率90~10%のそれぞれの粒度を表す。
次いで、分級点5.0mmで乾式篩をおこなった。乾式篩で分級された粗粒物は、乾式比重分離に送られ、乾式流動層比重分離装置にて比重2.0で分離した。なお、比重1.6未満の鉱石部分は、飛散のため分離不能であった。ここで、ニッケル濃縮度の低い比重2.0より重い鉱石部分は、ズリ(廃石)として排除された。また、比重1.6~2.0の鉱石部分は、ニッケル濃縮物として回収した。
また、乾式篩で分級された細粒物は、さらに気流分級機にて分級点0.75mmで分離した。
気流分級機で分離された粗粒物は、ズリ(廃石)として排除された。また、気流分級機で分離された細粒物は、ニッケル濃縮物として回収した。その後、この方法により得たニッケル濃縮物、原料鉱石、及びズリのニッケル品位、ニッケル濃縮物の重量分布率、並びにニッケル回収率を求めた。結果を表4に示す。また、そのときのニッケル濃縮物中のニッケル品位とニッケル回収率の関係を図4に示す。
