Investigation on Efficient Vanadium Extraction from Vanadium-Bearing Molten Iron

Article Preview

Abstract:

Vanadium extration is a significant process to improve the additional value of vanadium-bearing molten iron. This article carried out the experiments of blowing oxygen and smelting on V extration from vanadium-bearing molten iron, which is made from vanadium titanium magnetite by the process of non-blast furnace. The different controlling parameters including the reaction time, temperature and inserting depths of oxygen lance, are studied aiming to increase the rate of V extraction. The thermodynamics calculation is performed during the process. The results show that, the appropriate blowing time is 9 mins, and the end-point temperature of molten pool should be ranged of 1360-1395 °C. Moreover, the larger inserting depth is beneficial to the V extraction. The oxidation patterns of the smelting process are discussed.
