In this study, petroleum coke was utilized as a novel co-reduction reductant of low-grade laterite ore and red mud. A ferronickel product of 1.98wt% nickel and 87.98wt% iron was obtained with 20wt% petroleum coke, when the roasting temperature and time was 1250°C and 60 min, respectively. The corresponding recoveries of nickel and total iron were 99.54wt% and 95.59wt%, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy-energy dis- persive spectrometry (SEM-EDS) analysis showed metallic nickel and iron mainly existed in the form of ferronickel particles which distrib- uted uniformly at a size of approximately 30 μm with high purity. This study demonstrated that petroleum coke is a promising reductant in the co-reduction of laterite ore and red mud. Compared to other alternatives, petroleum coke is advantageous with reduced production cost and high applicability in anthracite-deficient areas.展开更多

The data showed that there was apparent interaction between As and Cd in the transformation process. At pH 8, the transformation product was hematite with 1% As and different percent Cd (mole fraction, so as the follows), but the size of particles formed with different amount of Cd was different. At pH 12, the transformation products varied from sole hematite with 1% As and less than 2% Cd to a mixture of hematite and goethite with more than and equal to 2% Cd, and the percentage of goethite in the transformation products increased with the increasing level of Cd in the system. XRD (X-ray diffraction) and chemical analysis data showed that almost all As and part of Cd initially present in the system were retained in the crystalline products. The presence of As increased the amount of Cd retained in the structure of iron oxide. SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) examination showed that the presence of As and Cd also altered the morphology of cry stalline products.展开更多
