The effect of B2O3 on the carbothermal reduction of vanadium titanium magnetite was investigated under different temperatures by isothermal experiments. XRD analysis, SEM analysis and kinetic analysis were used to reveal the mechanism of B2O3 in the reduction process. The results showed that B2O3 could accelerate the reduction rate of vanadium titanium magnetite, and the suitable addition amount was 3%. B2O3 was easy to melt during carbothermal reduction, B3+ diffused into the crystal lattice of ferrotitanium compound, resulting in a decrease in binding energy and an increase in lattice parameters. B2O3 had also an erosion effect on the surface of the iron ore, and the contact area between reducing agent CO and vanadium titanium magnetite increased, thereby promoting the reduction. Low melting point compound CaO ∙ B2O3 formed after adding B2O3, which could improve the fluidity of the system and change the melting point of non-ferrous phase to further promote the growth and aggregation of iron particles. The reduction process was firstly limited by the first-order chemical reaction, then it was controlled by three-dimensional diffusion of reactants. The activation energy calculated by the best model was smaller than that of without adding B2O3.

The effects and reduction mechanisms of carbothermic reduction of vanadium–titanium–magnetite were studied by adding various mass fractions of CaF2 ranging from 0%, 1%, 3%, 5% to 7%. The results showed that the proper CaF2 addition could strengthen the carbothermic reduction of vanadium–titanium–magnetite while the excessive amounts will weaken the promotive effect, hence the appropriate dosage was determined to be 3 mass%. The CaF2 was favorable for the carbon gasification reaction, where it increased the partial pressure of CO inside briquette and caused the lattice distortion of vanadium–titanium–magnetite. The reaction improved the reduction process and accelerated the reduction rate. The appearance of 3CaO·2SiO2·CaF2 and other complex compounds with low melting point facilitated the aggregation and growth of the slag and the iron, which increased the concentration of iron grains and the aggregation level of the slag.

Through carrying out large scale of experiments, the process of ‘rotary harth furnace direct reduction—deep reduction electric arc furnace—extracting vanadium from vanadium bearing slag—extracting titanium from titanium bearing slag gets through and the recovery of Fe, V and Ti reached 90.77%, 43.82% and 72.65% respectively. With the study on the laboratory experiments and industrial tests, the bottlenecks of this technology such as low metallization rate of vanadium-titanium magnetite in direct reduction process, low reduction rate of vanadium in EAF, vanadium-recovery of hot metal with high silicon content, titanium-recovery of high –Mg &Al slag with titanium, and so on, have been solved. Based on this, the metallization rate of vanadium-titanium magnetite in direct reduction process is more than 90%, reduction rate of vanadium in EAF deep reduction process is more than 80%, vanadium-recovery rate in slag is more than 65%, and titanium-recovery rate in slag is more than 75%. That means good study results have been gotten. Furthermore, low-carbon pig iron with good quality in EAF steelmaking are gotten. Otherwise, V2O5 sheet and titanium products can meet the requirements of GB3283-87 and PTA121, respectively.

Lithium cobaltate as a cathode material has great recycling value in the recycling process of spent lithium-ion batteries, To promote the thermal reduction process of lithium cobaltate and recover high-value cobalt and lithium metals, we studied the process of lithium cobaltate reduction by carbon under different conditions and its thermal reaction kinetics. The effects of calcination temperature, raw material ratio, pelletizing pressure and holding time on the reduction rate of lithium cobaltate were investigated by controlling variables. The results showed that the optimum experimental conditions were as follows: mass ratio of carbon and lithium cobaltate was 1:1, pelletizing pressure was 45 MPa, calcination temperature was 800 °C, and calcination time was 6 h. Under these conditions, lithium cobaltate could be converted into cobalt and lithium carbonate, and the recovery rate of cobalt and lithium was 97% and 95%, respectively. A kinetic study on the carbothermal reduction reaction of LiCoO2 showed that the average activation energy of the carbothermal reaction of LiCoO2 under nitrogen protection was 280.6851 kJ/mol, and the mechanism model of the thermal decomposition reaction of LiCoO2 was controlled by chemicals, showing a deceleration curve. The corresponding process conforms to the threedimensional diffusion mechanism of the inverse Jander equation, which lays a theoretical foundation for the high-efficiency separation and recovery of LiCoO2 cathode material for waste lithium-ion batteries.

In this paper, porous Si3N4 ceramics were fabricated by carbothermal reduction between silicon dioxide and carbon. The influences of four types of sintering additives on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the porous Si3N4 ceramics were investigated. XRD analysis proved complete formation of a single-phase β-Si3N4. SEM analysis showed that the resultant porous Si3N4 ceramics occupied fine microstructure and a uniform pore structure. The sintered sample with Lu2O3 as sintering additive showed finer, a higher aspect ratio β-Si3N4 grains. The addition of Eu2O3 accelerated the densification of porous Si3N4 ceramics, decreased the porosity and increased the flexural strength.

Catalyst can enhance the reduction effect and promote the reduction of vanadium titanomagnetite. In this paper, the carbon-containing pellets of vanadium titanomagnetite were prepared by using highly volatile coal as the reducing agent under the background of a novel process of pre-reduction in the rotary kiln. The effects of CaO, CaCO3, B2O3 and borax (Na2B4O7·10H2O) on the tail gas characteristics of carbon-containing pellets in the prereduction process were studied by using a simulated rotary kiln and flue gas analyzer. The results showed that the enhanced reduction effect of boron catalysts was slightly stronger than that of calcium catalysts, among which CaO catalyzed the least and borax the best. With the increase of metallization rate, the CO utilization in the tail gas is generally reduced, while when using CaCO3 as the catalyst, the CO utilization is significantly increased. Due to different reduction mechanism, the boron catalysts have little effect on the tail gas, and the calcium catalysts have a great effect on the tail gas. Based on the experimental results and the characteristics of the tail gas from the reduction process, we put forward the idea of using CaCO3 as the best catalyst and using CaO to absorb CO2 in the tail gas to form CaCO3.

In order to explore a reasonable way for the efficient utilization of coal resources in the ironmaking process. In this paper, lignite and bituminous coal are used as reducing agents, and two types of vanadium-titanium magnetite composite reducing agent pellets are prepared for different content ratios and mixed forms of the two coal powders. Under the simulated rotary kiln pre-reduction conditions, the influence of the ratio and mixing of pulverized coal on the metallization rate and tail gas composition of the reduction process was explored. The results show that increasing the proportion of high volatile lignite is beneficial to the reduction of pellets and can obtain pellets with a higher metallization rate. Under the new pre-reduction process conditions of the rotary kiln, the vanadium-titanium magnetite double-layer pellet with 75wt% lignite inside and 25wt% bituminous coal outside has the highest metallization rate of about 76%. At the same time, this new type of composite reducing agent pellets reduced gas emissions. This pellet is of great significance to the coal-based ironmaking process.

The removal of magnesium from garnierite in Yuanjiang area of Yunnan was performed by carbothermal reduction in vacuum. The effects of reduction temperature and reduction time on the removal rate of magnesium were investigated. The kinetics of the removal of magnesium by carbothermal reduction in vacuum was studied. The thermodynamic calculation results show that it is feasible to remove magnesium from garnierite by carbothermal reduction in vacuum. The experimental results show that the removal rate of magnesium in garnierite can reach 93.23% under the conditions of 1823K for 120min. The reduction process conforms to the chemical reaction kinetics model, which indicated that the reduction process is controlled by chemical reaction and whose expression is 1-(1-α)1/3=(-22850.1/T+2.6296) t, the apparent activation energy (Ea) and the pre-exponential factor (A) are 189.97 kJ/mol and 13.87 s-1, respectively. The results of XRD and SEM analysis show that the condensate obtained by carbothermal reduction in vacuum of the garnierite is magnesium, which is mainly obtained by the reduction reaction between magnesium silicate produced by the decomposition of serpentine in minerals and coal. At the same time, it is proved that it is feasible to directly extract magnesium metal from the garnierite.
