Prospects of radiation-thermal treatment of wastes of Novosibirsk Tin Works

Abstract

The experimental test data on magnetic properties of the waste iron-containing mineral materials under radiation-thermal treatment are presented. It is found that the volume magnetic susceptibility of pyrite- and arsenopyrite-containing wastes has increased 5 times on the average. The authors demonstrate that radiation-thermal magnetization and magnetic separation allows production of KOS-3 grade tin concentrate meeting fuming process requirements from wastes of Novosibirsk Tin Works.
