Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method of using common vanadium iron electric arc furnace to produce nitrogenous ferro-vanadium, belong to the non-ferrous metal metallurgy technical field, is a kind of iron alloy production method.
Technical background
Vanadium is a kind of important alloying element in Iron And Steel Industry, and the vanadium of the whole world more than 85% is used for Iron and Steel Production, and vanadium interacts with the element such as nitrogen in steel can play the effect that improves the many performances of steel.
The vanadium raw materials that contains that uses in Iron And Steel Industry mainly contains vanadium iron, vanadium nitride, ferrovanadium nitride etc.
Its major ingredient of ferro-vanadium is vanadium and iron, is the vanadium goods of output maximum.The vanadium iron electric arc furnace is generally used in vanadium iron production, take barium oxide as raw material, according to method productions such as silicothermic process, thermite process or electro-aluminothermic processes.
Its main component of vanadium nitride is VN, it produces general pushed bat kiln method, microwave method or the vacuum carbon reduction method used, pressure ball after barium oxide raw material and auxiliary material are mixed according to certain formula reduces in the environment of rich nitrogen under solid-state, nitrogenize, through cooling acquisition vanadium nitride product.
Ferrovanadium nitride is take vanadium iron as raw material, and secondary nitriding processing obtains the ferrovanadium nitride of rich nitrogen, the self-diffusion high-temperature synthesis of the ferrovanadium nitride production method solid State Nitriding method that mainly contains in actual applications and nitriding in sintering process etc.
When the nitrogenous vanadium goods such as vanadium nitride and ferrovanadium nitride use as steel additive agent, because the effect of nitrogen element, often obtain than the better result of use of common vanadium iron and vanadium consumption still less.The production technology threshold of existing vanadium nitride or ferrovanadium nitride is higher, and adopts in a large number the method for solid State Nitriding, and production efficiency and output are lower, and production energy consumption is higher, and common vanadium iron remains the vanadium product of output maximum.How transforming common vanadium iron electric arc furnace produces nitrogenous ferro-vanadium and is the content that the present invention relates to.
Summary of the invention
Target of the present invention is to propose the common vanadium iron electric arc furnace of a kind of transformation and produces nitrogenous ferro-vanadium method.
The agent set of smelting ferrovanadium alloy is the vanadium iron electric arc furnace, its nominal capacity is generally 300~5000kg, adopts three-phase electrode for electrically heated, and transformer capacity is generally 300~3000KVA, body of heater adopts magnesia brick to build by laying bricks or stones or the magnesia knotting, and bell uses magnesia chrome brick or high alumina brick to build by laying bricks or stones.The raw material of vanadium iron electric arc furnace smelting ferro-vanadium is that (main component is V to the Vanadium Pentoxide in FLAKES fuse piece
2O
5), ferrosilicon, metallic aluminium (ferrosilicoaluminum), unslaked lime and steel scrap, smelting cycle is 2~6 hours, melting electric consumption is greater than 1200kwh/t.
In the vanadium iron smelting process, main chemical reactions is as follows:
V
2O
5+Si+CaO→V+(CaO)·(SiO

3)
The chemical reaction process heat absorption needs electric energy supplement.Through reduction and refining, finally can obtain to contain vanadium and surpass 40% ferro-vanadium, the highest vanadiumcontent can reach 70% left and right.
Traditional electric arc furnace is produced in the ferro-vanadium process, vanadium metal all exists with molten state, forms vanadium iron liquid and is present in bottom, electric arc furnace molten bath, and the liquid slag that reduction reaction produces covers vanadium iron liquid, can prevent air to the oxidation of vanadium iron, also stop simultaneously the infiltration of airborne nitrogen in the vanadium iron.
According to calculation of thermodynamics
The nitrogenize of vanadium is thermopositive reaction, and along with the rising of temperature, the generation degree of vanadium nitride is lower, and along with the rising of pressure, the generation degree of vanadium nitride is higher.
In electric arc furnace smelting ferro-vanadium process, in stove, temperature surpasses 1500 ℃, reaches as high as 1700 ℃ of left and right, can't realize the complete nitrogenize of v element under this temperature normal pressure nitrogen atmosphere.
Osmotic equilibrium reaction to nitrogen in high temperature vanadium iron liquid is calculated, under the normal pressure nitrogen atmosphere, in the vanadium iron liquid (containing [V] 50%) under 1700 ℃, the nitrogen budgets massfraction is 8.0% left and right, as accompanying drawing 1, the v element nitriding rate is about 70% left and right, referred to herein as nitrogenous vanadium iron.
Say on driven mechanics simultaneously, in the production process of vanadium iron in electric arc furnace, whole chemical reaction is all to carry out between the iron liquid of melting and slag, has mobility preferably, and dynamic conditions is better, i.e. reaction is the easy to reach equilibrium state relatively.Adopting nitrogen to carry out liquid nitriding in vanadium iron liquid compares the nitriding treatment time and will greatly shorten with the solid nitriding.
According to theoretical study results, common vanadium iron electric arc furnace production process furnace inner environment can satisfy the condition of nitriding in the vanadium iron liquid, but the covering of molten slag has stoped by the approach of air to the molten bath nitriding.
In order to realize that the vanadium iron electric arc furnace produces nitrogenous ferro-vanadium, what must solve is to realize stable nitrogen supply (NS) in the electric arc furnace molten bath.Size according to capacity of electric arc furnace, at the bottom of arc furnace or the furnace wall single or branched nitrogen/argon blowing device are installed, nitrogen/argon blowing device adopts the mode of metal ring slit-tube or refractory materials slit gas permeable brick to design, itself and external control valve assembly are closed, can realize free nitrogen-blow and argon gas in the vanadium iron electric arc furnace molten bath, the Gas injection flow control scope of single nitrogen/argon blowing device is 20~500NL/min.
