METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF NATURAL IRON OXIDE PIGMENT FROM ORE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC C09C1/24 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in chemical industry. The method of production of natural red iron oxide pigment from ore includes its reduction, cleaning using the method of magnetic separation and repeated reduction. The ore used can be hematite, martite, hydrohematite. First the ore is reduced to size no less than 10 mm, then it is reduced using wet method to particle size of 60-80% class smaller than 40 μm and is classified in 4 stages. Elutriation includes main elutriation, first rewashing, first control and second control hydrocycling. Then the oxidative destruction of sulfides contained in the ore is performed, as well as thickening and drying with simultaneous disintegration and dry elutriation of pigment.

EFFECT: increased pigment output, production environmental friendliness, decreased sulfur content in pigment and decreased waste amount.
