A processing technique consisting of flotation, low-intensity magnetic separation (LIMS) and high-intensity magnetic separation (HIMS) was proposed for recycling blast furnace dust. With kerosene as a collector and zinc sulfate as a depressant, a flotation process consisting of one roughing and two cleaning was adopted firstly for decarbonization. Then, the obtained tailings were processed by LIMS followed by HIMS to obtain an iron concentrate, and the zinc concentrate was produced as the magnetic separation tailings. The full flowsheet test produced a carbon concentrate grading 86.16% C at 88.74% recovery, an iron concentrate (LIMS concentrate) grading 55.75% Fe at 67.01% recovery, and a zinc concentrate grading 16.79% Zn at 75.74% recovery. The migration patterns of main elements during the whole separation process were analyzed by using XRD and SEM-EDS. It is found that iron concentrate is mainly magnetite, and zinc concentrate is mainly zinc oxide. The lost zinc minerals left in the iron concentrate are mostly ZnFe2O4 in dispersed distribution. Besides, some processing technique and product schemes are also proposed for the obtained difficult-to-treat HIMS concentrate.
