Abstract: High-iron red mud contains a lot of iron, which is a potential iron ore resource. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop innovative processes and technologies to realize the recycling of iron in red mud, and at the same time to achieve red mud reduction. A novel process of suspension magnetization roasting-low intensity magnetic separation was developed for the Bayer high-iron red mud. The effects of roasting temperature, roasting time, reducing gas CO concentration and total gas volume on the magnetization roasting effect were studied. The experiment results show that the desired indexes with iron grade of 56.40% and recovery of 88.46% were obtained from the roasted ore after the low intensity magnetic separation under the optimal roasting conditions. The results of XRD analysis, chemical phase analysis of iron, SEM-EDS analysis and VSM analysis indicate that hematite phase present in the raw material was transformed into magnetite phase during the suspension magnetization roasting process.
