Study on Utilization Technology of Vanadium Titanium Magnetite Based on the Rotary Hearth Furnace Direct Reduction Process
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.
