Use of pyrometallurgical processes for obtaining rhenium

Listed in DataCite

ABSTRACT Rhenium is a metal that has different obtainment methods.

Description

The most used comes from molybdenite roasting. Traditional pyrometallurgical methods like oxidizing roasting are applied, but there are also innovative pyrometallurgical methods as is roasting with carbothermic reduction.

This paper presents the behavior of rhenium onto two different roasting processes: oxidizing roasting and toasting with carbothermic reduction. The purpose is to compare both treatments discussing rhenium recovery values. Oxidizing roasting generates several SO2 emissions towards the environment when it is applied to metal sulphides.

The carbothermal reduction is a process that uses CaO as sulfur capturer and C as a reductant agent, and eliminates the atmosphere pollution that would have been caused by SO2. Thus the optimum molar ratio of CaO with respect to Re and C, required to accelerate the reduction rate and control S emission to the atmosphere was studied in order to determinate metal sulfide dependence to operational factors of reduction temperature, molar concentrations, roasting times.

Furthermore, the oxidizing roasting was worked out with the operating variables of temperature and roasting time for certain ambient conditions. Based on the current results for both roasting processes, the optimal operating conditions for the greatest rhenium recover were obtained.
