SEM study of a lead-iron slag flotation process
Abstract Companies producing lead-acid batteries are required by law to recycle their battery scrap. The recycling can be performed by a pyrometallurgical process resulting in slags containing mainly lead and iron. A study was carried out with the aim of recovering the lead contained in this slag. This work has economic and environmental implications. Slag characterization was performed by X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A laboratory-scale mechanical cell was used for flotation tests. The results showed that Pb-Fe selectivity is possible using ethyl xanthate as collector. The coke floats together decreasing concentrate grade. However, this is no problem because coke participates in the metallurgical process for the production of lead. A concentrate containing 22.9% Pb was obtained from a slag with 2.2% Pb. The process removes more than 99.6% of the iron contained. However, the recovery was only 19.0 %. Analyses from scanning electron microscopy detected the presence of lead inside the iron particles, limiting the possibility of lead recovery.
