Summary: This study proposes a fluidized preoxidation-low-temperature reduction magnetization roasting process for the utilization of low-grade refractory siderite-containing iron ore. Through experiments, it was found that the γ-Fe2O3 generated during air oxidation roasting would further convert into weakly magnetic FeO. Stable magnetite can only be obtained through reduction of γ-Fe2O3 at low temperatures. The optimal process parameters for fluidized magnetization roasting were determined to be preoxidation at 610°C for 2.5 min, followed by reduction at 450°C for 5 min. The iron ore concentrate obtained through weak magnetic separation had a grade of 62.0wt% and an iron recovery rate of 88.36%. Compared to conventional direct reduction magnetization roasting, the weak magnetic separation greatly improved the iron recovery by 34.33%. The proposed roasting process enables efficient utilization of low-grade refractory siderite-containing iron ore without wustite generation, and it is not limited by the proportion of siderite and hematite in the ore.

Summary: This paper investigates the issue of over-reduction of Fe2O3 in iron-bearing tailings during magnetization roasting and proposes the use of pyrite as a reductant. The experimental results show that the addition of pyrite during roasting process effectively hindered the over-reduction of Fe2O3 and promoted the formation of Fe3O4, resulting in a high iron recovery rate.

Summary: In this study, a new process for separating and recovering iron from siderite ore with high magnesium and manganese was developed, achieving a high-grade iron concentrate through pre-oxidation and magnetization roasting. Pre-oxidation improved the reduction efficiency in magnetization roasting, leading to the removal of most gangue minerals while retaining manganese and some magnesium in the final concentrate.

Summary: In this study, the complex limonite ore, which is rich in iron, was processed using fluidization magnetization roasting and low-intensity magnetic separation. Under the optimized roasting conditions (temperature of 525 degrees C, roasting time of 10 min, H-2 concentration of 20%), a concentrate with an iron grade of 59.92% and iron recovery of 87.26% was obtained. The reduction mechanism and kinetics were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometry, and scanning electron microscopy. This research provides guidance for the utilization of limonite ore.

Summary: This study explored the clean magnetization roasting of iron minerals in iron tailings using the in-situ suspension magnetization roasting method in a neutral atmosphere. The results showed that high-grade iron concentrate could be obtained through this process without the need for additional reductants. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the reduction of weakly magnetic hematite to strongly magnetic magnetite in the neutral atmosphere. The kinetics analysis suggested that the reaction followed a three-dimensional diffusion model, indicating a heterogeneous, diffusion-controlled solid-state reaction.

Summary: The effect of thermal oxidization pretreatment on the magnetization roasting and separation of refractory iron ore was studied. The results showed that the pretreatment could decrease the required CO concentration and increase the iron recovery. This is attributed to the presence of pores and cracks in the pretreated samples, which promoted the conversion of iron ore during the magnetization roasting process.

Summary: The paper proposes a novel deep learning-based prediction framework, aTCN-LSTM, for accurate cooling load predictions. The framework utilizes a gate-controlled multi-head temporal convolutional network and a sparse probabilistic self-attention mechanism with a bidirectional long short-term memory network to capture both temporal and long-term dependencies in the cooling load sequences. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method, which can serve as an effective guide for HVAC chiller scheduling and demand management initiatives.
