RESUMO
A mineralogical characterization of several bauxites was undertaken in order in order to improve the quantification of all iron-bearing species occurring in the beneficiated ores and in the red mud obtained from the alkaline digestion tests carried out on laboratory scale. A correlation between the mineralogical composition and the settling rate of red mud was derived. The samples used in this work were from Trombetas (MRN) and Paragominas (Mineração Paragominas S.A.) located in the Para State and one sample from Ghana. The alkaline digestions were done at 145C and pressure of 5.0 kgf/cm 2 . Both the initial samples and the red mud generated in these digestions were characterized by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The quantification of the major phases was made by combining the results obtained by these techniques. The Mössbauer results allowed the identification of two types of goethite in the initial samples. For some samples it was observed the conversion of goethite to hematite during the digestion. A satisfactory linear correlation (r 2 ~ 0.90, n =9) between the red mud settling and the concentration of goethite with higher isomorphic substitutions and / or smaller particle sizes was observed. Thus, it is suggested that the presence of this type of goethite has a negative effect on the settling rate.
