Potassium ions (K+) are essentials for plant nutrition and are, usually, supplied in the form of KCl or K2SO4. The former is responsible of 90 percent of the potassium amount offered by the fertilizer industry. However, some crops are sensitive to presence of chloride ions (Cl-) or require higher sulfur content, thereby keeping the interest in fertilizers with sulfate ions (SO42-). In the context of a competitive fertilizer market, the industry is constantly searching for new methods to obtain their desired products as well as new raw materials. Therefore, glauconite bearing ores can be seen as a potential source of raw material as this hydrate silicate mineral is essentially constituted by oxides and hydroxides of Mg, Al, Si, K and Fe. In general, it can be said that glauconita has a potassium content varying from 5 to 8 percent of K2O, encouraging its use in a process to obtain K2SO4 with fertilizers purposes. Within this perspective, the proposed work aims to appreciate the chemical processing of a glauconite concentrate based on a combined aqueous and pyro metallurgical route. The present work also incorporates the materials characterization of the received concentrate as well as of the obtained products by means of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM/EDS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fluorescence (XRF). Preliminary studies have shown that H2SO4 digestion has a selective behavior towards SiO2 which is not sensible to the acid attack. It was also found that the resulting product can be washed with water forming solutions rich in Mg, Al, K and Fe as well as sulfate ions. These were then submitted to controlled evaporations in order to establish conditions in which the selective precipitation of a precursor rich in K and Al (e.g. potassium alúmens) is feasible. The obtained material was calcined at 800 degree C in order to stimulate decomposition in K2SO4 and Al2O3. The separation between these constituents was taken into effect through selective solubilization with water allowing the separation of the insoluble oxide. The results suggest that the proposed processing route characterize itself as a potential method to obtain K2SO4, of interest for the fertilizer industry, and Al2O3 which, in containing a small amount of iron, could be used, with environmental attractiveness, in the aluminum industry.
