Abstract
In this study, a magnetic separation–shaking table gravity separation process was used to treat Sc-bearing V–Ti magnetite tailings, and the Sc2O3 content in the Sc concentrate was enhanced from 0.0039 to 0.0061%. The majority of the Sc in the Sc concentrate originates from augite, hornblende, and aluminosilicate. Magnesium chloride and the Sc concentrate were placed in a roasting furnace for chloridizing roasting, causing the partial chlorination of Sc to ScCl3. Sc was extracted from the roasted ore using hydrochloric acid leaching. Sc extraction indices demonstrated 95.12% Sc2O3 leaching efficiency and 0.0011% Sc2O3 content in the acid leaching residue, clearly indicating the extraction of Sc. No noticeable peak of Sc was observed in the spectrum of the acid leaching residue. Most of the Sc in the roasted ores was dissolved as Sc3+, and it entered the liquid phase. The main minerals in the acid leaching residue were Mg2SiO4, CaTiO3, and Fe2SiO4.
