High-aluminium-content iron ore is one of typical intractable iron ores, and magnetic separation and floatation processes are found impracticable to remove alumina from the ore effectively. In this article, a new process, roasting with addition of soda followed by leaching, is developed to remove aluminium from the ore. Results show that Al2O3 content decreases from 8.16% in raw ore to 2.13% in iron concentrate, and total iron grade increases from 48.92 to 63.21% when the ore is roasted at 1000°C for 15 min with the addition of 14.0% (wt.) sodium carbonate. Mechanisms of aluminium–iron separation were studied by using XRD, SEM, and thermodynamic methods, and it is shown that aluminium is transformed into sodium aluminosilicate, sodium aluminate, and corundum during roasting; sodium aluminate is able to be leached by water, so is sodium aluminosilicate by dilute acid solution, while corundum remains in the iron concentrate.
