Title in Portuguese
Abrasão-corrosão em corpos moedores na moagem de minério de ferro.
Keywords in Portuguese

Corrosão
Desgaste
Abstract in Portuguese
O desgaste de corpos moedores constitui um custo importante na indústria mineral, que depende da operação de cominuição para promover a liberação das espécies minerais e produzir concentrados. Embora se conheça alguns dos mecanismos individuais que afetam o desgaste, a interação entre eles num sistema tão complexo quanto um moinho ainda precisa ser melhor entendido. Este trabalho avaliou o efeito da corrosão no desgaste de bolas de aço e de ferro fundido branco de alto cromo durante a moagem de minério de ferro, através de ensaios eletroquímicos e de desgaste em moinho de laboratório. Foi feita uma alteração no modo tradicional de realização do ensaio de polarização potenciodinâmica, utilizando polpa de minério de ferro a 70% de sólidos (em peso) como eletrólito. As curvas de polarização obtidas foram compatíveis com os resultados de desgaste, de modo que as curvas correspondentes aos metais na condição mais ativa estavam associadas às menores taxas de desgaste nos ensaios de moagem em laboratório, demonstrando que os ensaios de polarização realizados podem ser utilizados como indicativo do comportamento do metal na moagem de minério de ferro. Sobretudo, os testes demonstraram que o desgaste das bolas de aço é devido, principalmente, à abrasão, já que uma pequena diferença, de apenas 8%, foi observada nas taxas de desgaste nas condições avaliadas (polpa no pH 5 e pH 8). Por outro lado, as bolas de ferro fundido branco de alto cromo, que são mais caras, são mais propensas a resistir ao desgaste em polpa ácida, em que a taxa de desgaste foi 40% menor que a determinada em pH 8.

Abstract in English
The wear out of grinding media represents a major cost in the mineral industry, which strongly depends on the mineral liberation to achieve the production of concentrates. Although some of the individual mechanisms that affect wear are already known, the interaction between them in such a complex system as an ore mill still needs further investigation. This work analyzed the effect of corrosion on the wear of balls made of steel and high chromium cast iron, while grinding iron ore, by means of electrochemical tests and wear tests conducted in a laboratory mill. A modification of the traditional potenciodynamic polarization test is proposed, using iron ore slurry at 70% w/w as an electrolyte. The results of the polarization curves were compatible with those from the wear tests, as the curves corresponding to the condition in which the metal showed the more active behavior were associated to the lower wear rates in the wear tests, suggesting that the modified polarization tests can be used as an indicative of the metal alloy behavior while grinding iron ore. Moreover, it demonstrated that the wear of steel balls is mainly due to abrasion, as a slight difference of 8% in their wear rates was observed in both conditions investigated (pH 5 and pH 8). On the other hand, the high chromium cast iron balls, which are more expensive, were more likely to resist wear in slurry at pH 5, achieving a wear rate 40% lower than in pH 8.
