Abstract: Reduction sintering - magnetic separation process was adopted to deal with high iron-bearing bauxite. The effects of calcium oxide on sintering and Al-Fe separation effect of sintering product were analyzed. Components and microstructure of the reduced sintering product added different dosage of calcium oxide were studied by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. The results showed that metallization rate of sintering product reached 93.95%, the mass fraction of Fe in the magnetic concentrate was 83.10% and Al2O3 leaching rate of rich aluminum slag increased to 61.14% when the mass fraction of calcium oxide is 70%. CaO could completely react with Al2O3 and SiO2 to produce 12CaO·7Al2O3 and Ca2SiO2, respectively, while Fe element was well reduced to iron which can be well separated from non-ferrous gangues by the magnetic separation.
