Resumo:
Actually the iron ore deposits in the world have the tendency to decrease the iron content, increasing the gangue (silica, alumina, phosphorus, etc.) and to further occurrence of hydrated ores. This change demands improvements in concentration processing techniques for feasible mining operations. The phosphorus is a contaminant that, in some contents, causes the embrittlement of steels, been, wherefore, a limitative to the use of important ore deposits, mostly regarding the weathered iron ores or supergene origins. Several studies were and have been conducted aiming to develop technologies capable of decreasing the P content during the beneficiation process. However, until now, the economic viability of such studies has not been feasible, considering the production scale and the harmful effects to the environment. In Samarco’s case, the mine geological formation is mostly supergene, which is responsible for the presence of the goethite ores, pointed as the main phosphorus carrier. The main point of this work was, with an innovating approach, formulate a new type of pellet addressed to direct reduction processes in a manner that the P could be fluxed into the slag phases. These phases, produced through an adequate thermal cycle of induration and with an optimized chemical composition, resulted in pellets with stable slags containing, as well as in the produced DRI and in the melted bath generated during the primary refining performed in the EAF. For this purpose, it was done, further to a wide bibliographic review, an original analytical procedure to quantify the released phosphorus and a series of planned experiments, such as: the kinetic evaluation of the phosphorus migration from the mineral phases of the pellet feed when subjected to different thermal treatments; analysis of the induration process variables which could affect the phosphorus release and its fluxing into the slag ; Finally, the stability of the fluxing phases during the reduction in a laboratory scale and the melting and refining process in a semi-industrial EAF, were performed. The obtained results showed the feasibility of this new approach produce DR pellets with self-fluxed phosphorus trapped in stable phases.
