BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is known in the art that manganous oxide is an excellent acceptor of sulfur and may be used to remove sulfur from solid sulfur-containing materials, for example carbonaceous fuels such as coltc pellets. The manganous oxide sulfur acceptor is made from high-purity manganie oxide ores such as pyro- Iusitc, Ramsdellite and the like. Most of these ores are not readily accessible and generally must be briquetted, calcined, and crushed to a fine particle size prior to their use. Ramsdellite may, however, because of its inherent strength be calcined without briquetting after crushing the ore to a fine particle size. See US. Pat. No. 2,950,231. Because of their fine particle size, these ores require special techniques in material handling.
The object of this invention is to provide a method for manufacturing porous manganese-containing pellets which can be used as acceptors to remove sulfur from solid sulfurcontaining materials.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention in its broadest aspect includes mixing a suitable amount of a carbonaceous-bearing reducing agent for example anthracite eoal, bituminous coal, coke, petroleum coke, or coke breeze, a finely divided manganese ore or concentrate and a sufficient amount of a suitable addition agent for example an alkaline metal salt of carboxyl methylcellulose, balling the mixture and heating the balls at elevated temperatures to cause the carbonaceous-bearing material to partially reduce the manganese ore. During heating, gaseous products, for example carbon dioxide, are evolved. During this step, the addition agent breaks down also, forming gaseous products, for example carbon dioxide. The gaseous products escaping from the interior of the pellets form voids or pores in the pellets.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In a more detailed description of the invention, it has been found that oxidic and carbonate manganese ores may be processed into pellets. To pelletize these ores, the raw materials described above must be crushed to a suitable size; for example, such that 65 percent of the particles will pass a 325 mesh Tyler Sieve Size. Typical ores or concentrates which may be used in the process may have the following chemical compositions:
Mn(%l (IO-107a) Fc(%) SiO2(%) AI O CaO(%) MgO(%) C(%) salt of earboxyl methylcellulose. The mixture is formed into balls. It may be desirable to add a small amount of a binder such as bentonite to the mixture, for example between about 5 pounds and about pounds per ton of ore to give the balls g reen strength. The green balls are heated ata temperature and for a time sufficient to produce relatively hard pellets. During the heating step, the carbonaceous material reacts with the manganese ore to partially reduce the ore to manganous'manganite (Mno-Mn tl Some manganous ferrite M nO- F e 0 may be formed if the ore contains sufficient iron Gaseous products, primarily carbon dioxide, are formed in the reaction. The carbon methyl cellulose salt also brealts down to form gaseous products, suehas carbon dioxide. The gaseous products, in escaping from interior of the pellets outwardly to the surface of the pellets, form minute passages or pores. The addition agent can be described as a pore-forming agent. Pellets produced according to the process of the invention develop a porosity of not less than about 45 percent during the heating step.
It has also been found that by subjecting the pellets to a second heating step, in the presence of a reducing gas, the
manganese oxide can be further reduced to obtain pellets which are substantially all manganous oxide (MnO), and have a porosity of not less than about 60 percent. These pellets can then be used as sulfur acceptors to remove a portion of the sulfur in solid, sulfur-containing materials such as colre pellets, or metallized iron-ore pellets. The solid, sulfur-containing materials are mixed with the manganous oxide pellets. The mixture is heated at a suitable temperature, for example, between about l,l00 F. to about l,650 F. and a gas containing hydrogen is passed through the mixture. The sulfur passes from the solid, sulfur-containing material to the manganous oxide pellets.
The amount of carbonaceous material required to partially reduce, and to assist in forming pores in the manganese ore pellets in the initial heating step may vary over a wide range, for example from about 600 pounds to about 1,000 pounds per ton of manganese ore with 800* pounds a preferred amount. Too large an amount of carbonaceous material added to the ore will result in the pellets becoming too hot causing them to fuse together to form clin'kers. Too little carbonaceous material added to the manganese ore will result in insufiicient reduction of the ore and insufficient porosity.
The amount of decomposable addition agent which should be added may be between about 9 pounds and about l3.5 pounds per ton of manganese ore.
The porosity of the pellets is determined by the following formula:
true density-apparent density X true density Porosity where the apparent density is obtained by the well known mercury method and the true density is determined by the standard air pycnometer method.
In an example of the invention a synthetic ore mixture of the following analysis was used:
Mn(%) Fe(%) sio, Al 0 A balling mix was then made having the following composition:
Synthetic ore mix (65% 32SMesh Tyler Sieve Sizeb 2,000 parts Anthracite coal 200-Mesh Tyler Sieve Size) 800 parts Sodium Salt ofCarboxyl Methylcellulose l2 parts Bentonlte 10 parts The mix was hailed in the conventional manner to form balls between one-quarter inch and one-half inch in diameter.
Separate portions of the balls were fired in a muffle furnace All the fired pellets developed a porosity of 52.4 percent or more. The major mineralogical constituent of the pellets was manganous ferrite (Mno-Fe o with the minor constituent being MnO-SiO A portion of the fired pellets was then activated by heating the pellets to within the temperature range of l,600l ,650 F. for from 20 to 30 minutes while carbon monoxide was passed through the bed. All of the pellets were found to have a porosity of 63.1 percent or more with the major mineralogical constituent now being manganous oxide (MnO).
A mixture of metallized iron ore pellets and the activated manganous oxide pellets was heated at l,650 F. for 1 hour in the presence of hydrogen gas. The sulfur content of the metallized iron ore pellets was reduced from 0.65 to 0.28 percent and the sulfur content of the manganous oxide pellets was increased from 0.004 to 0.305 percent.
In another specific example of the invention a mix of the following composition was made:
Amapa ore (65% -325-mesh) (Mn content 31.5%) 2,000 parts Anthracite (200-mesh) 800 parts Sodium Salt of Carboxyl Methylcellulose 12 parts Bentonite l parts The mix was formed into balls one-quarter inch in diameter in the conventional manner. Separate portions of the balls were heated in the presence of air under the following conditions:
The pellets had a porosity of not less than 51.4 percent and the major constituent as determined by X-ray identification was manganous manganite (MnO-Mn O The pellets were then activated by heating at 1,600 F. for 30 minutes in the presence of CO gas. The porosity of the pellets was found to be not less than 66.5 percent and the major constituent as determined by X-ray identification was found to be manganous oxide (MnO).
A mixture of metallized iron ore pellets and the activated manganous oxide pellets was made. The bed of the mixed pellets was heated at l,650 F. for 1 hour in the presence of hydrogen gas passed therethrough. The sulfur content of the metallized iron ore pellets was reduced from 0.13 to 0.035 percent while the sulfur content of the manganous oxide pellets was increased from 0.005 to 0.13 percent.
It has been suggested that the manganese oxide pellets of the invention may be used as charge material in the production of ferromanganese alloys.
