It is described in detail
On the one hand, the method for preparing the slag containing titanium oxide and the pig iron by ilmenite is disclosed.This method Comprise the following steps:In prereduction reactor in the presence of a reducing agent prereduction ilmenite so that at least portion in ilmenite Divide ferrous metal;With the ilmenite of the melting prereduction in electric arc furnaces so that titanium oxide is separated into melted gangue phase and by the pig iron It is separated into molten metal phase.Titanium optionally from prereduction can be included after pre-reduction procedure according to the method for present disclosure Iron ore removes the additional step of unreacted reducing agent and gangue.
Or, this method comprises the following steps:A) prereduction in the presence of carbon containing reducer in prereduction reactor Ilmenite is so that at least part ferrous metal in ilmenite;B) optionally removed from the ilmenite of prereduction unreacted carbon containing Reducing agent and gangue;And c) in electric arc furnaces melting prereduction ilmenite with by titanium oxide be separated into melted gangue phase and will The pig iron is separated into molten metal phase.
Slag containing titanium oxide mainly contains titanium oxide.This paper titanium oxide mean in ilmenite or containing There is the titanium oxide of form of ownership present in the slag of titanium oxide.Most of titanium oxides are TiO2, but for example can also deposit In Ti2O3, but the ratio of other titanium oxides is less than TiO2Ratio.Slag contains in several percentage ranges in addition Unreduced ferriferous oxide (mainly FeO).The presence of ferriferous oxide is important to the mobility of slag.Although from purity Angle can need iron oxide, but in fusion process typically not reduce iron completely and by remaining oxide It is separated into slag.In one embodiment, the slag containing titanium oxide contains less than 12 weight %, preferably smaller than 10 weights Measure %, more preferably from about 7 weight % ferriferous oxide.
Slag containing titanium oxide contains various impurity in addition, and its amount depends on raw material and reducing agent property and taken Certainly in method and step.Typical impurity is aluminium, magnesium, silicon, chromium and sulphur, and it exists with about 1-2 weight % or smaller amount.
Although in the presence of the other elements of some carbon and trace, the pig iron mainly contains metallicity iron.In an embodiment party In case, the pig iron contains the carbon less than 1 weight %, preferably smaller than 0.8 weight %, more preferably less than 0.6 weight %, more preferably less than 0.4 weight % carbon.
This paper ilmenite mean for prepare the slag containing titanium oxide and the pig iron containing titanium oxide and contain The mineral feed material of ferriferous oxide.Can be by any mode (such as flotation is selected) known in the art come selected ilmenite. In the case where the gangue content of raw material is sufficiently low, it is not necessary to selected and unprocessed ilmenite therefore can be used.Ferrotianium Ore deposit can the titanium oxide containing e.g., from about 45 weight %, 55 weight % or 60 weight %.In addition, ilmenite can contain e.g., from about 30 Weight %, 35 weight % or 38 weight % ferriferous oxide.
In the step a) of this method, prereduction ilmenite.In this step, by a part of ferriferous oxide in ilmenite It is reduced to metallicity iron.In one embodiment, the reducing agent in step a) be carbon containing reducer, for example anthracite, coke, Coal, charcoal, charcoal, contain the gas of carbon monoxide or its combination.It is used for using carbon containing reducer according to formula FeO+C → Fe+CO's Reaction.Different carbon containing reducers is in their reactivity, purity, construction and changes in price, its be when selection be used in All parameters that technical staff is contemplated that during the Suitable reducing agent of given application.Anthracite, coke, coal, charcoal, wood for example can be used Charcoal, containing the gas of carbon monoxide or its combination it is used as carbon containing reducer.In one embodiment, using anthracite, Jiao Charcoal, coal, containing the gas of carbon monoxide or its combination it is used as the carbon containing reducer in step a).The crystallite dimension of reducing agent is excellent Elect 0.5-20mm as.This size range optimization percent reduction in the case where no reducing agent excessive loss enters gas phase.
In one embodiment, the reducing agent in step a) be the gas containing molecular hydrogen, containing the gas of hydrocarbon or its Combination.Gas containing hydrocarbon can be such as natural gas.In one embodiment, using carbon containing reducer and it is another type of also The combination of former agent.For example, the combination of molecular hydrogen and CO gas can be used.
Prereduction can occur in rotary kiln or in a fluidized bed reactor.It is typically for these methods and uses fossil The heating that fuel is used for needed for technique.In one embodiment, in using rotary kiln or fluidized-bed reactor as step a) Prereduction reactor.Ilmenite can be introduced into prereduction reactor with (such as group, block or tuberculosis) in the form of luming.May be used also By ilmenite to be introduced into the form of not luming in prereduction reactor.
Typically, prereduction occurs in reducing atmosphere.The metallicity iron of heat is very easy to reoxidize for ferriferous oxide, and And this needs to be avoided by protective atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon.If in addition, being for example used as carbon containing reduction using carbon monoxide Agent, then security reason need strictly contain the reducing agent gas.
In current method, the degree of metallization of iron is at least 50% after prereduction.This paper degree of metallization Mean total iron ratio in metallicity form in ilmenite.In other words, with (FeMetal/FeAlways) × 100% calculates metallization journey Degree.It is preferred that the degree of metallization after prereduction is, for example, 70% or 80%.It can reach up to 90% and higher (such as 93%) Degree of metallization.However, because slag and the pig iron containing titanium oxide are heated in electric arc furnaces to be used to separate, using The reduction that melting step is used to complete ferriferous oxide in ilmenite can be favourable.
In one embodiment, at least 50 weight %, preferably at least 70 weight %, more of ilmenite are made in step a) Preferably at least 85 weight % ferrous metal.
As secondary technique, also occurs titanium from TiO2To Ti2O3Reduction.Carrying out this reaction can in some cases limit and carry The possibility of the degree of metallization of high ferro.
In the step b) of this method, unreacted carbon and gangue are removed from the ilmenite of prereduction.This step is optional , and the method according to present disclosure therefore can be carried out in the case of without carbon and gangue is removed.The degree example of removal Such as the gangue content depending on the ilmenite used in the method.Impurity of the carbon containing reducer typically containing at least trace (it is also removed at least partially in this step).This can allow to prepare purer slag and/or the pig iron containing titanium oxide. Accordingly, it is possible to which the carbon containing reducer compared with low-purity can be used in prereduction without the unfavorable shadow of the purity to final product Ring.
In one embodiment, in the step b) using Magnetic Isolation to remove unreacted reducing agent and gangue. In one embodiment, using Magnetic Isolation to remove unreacted carbon containing reducer and gangue in the step b).In order that magnetic Property separation be feasible, the ilmenite of prereduction needs to cool down or cooled is less than its Curie temperature.In the case, 700 DEG C and following temperature under Magnetic Isolation be feasible.
In one embodiment, unreacted reducing agent and gangue are removed under 700 DEG C or lower temperature.At one In embodiment, unreacted carbon containing reducer and gangue are removed under 700 DEG C or lower temperature.When having used except magnetic point During the other method of the density of the ilmenite based on such as prereduction from beyond or crystallite dimension, holding prereduction that can be favourable Ilmenite temperature higher than 700 DEG C to reduce the energy expenditure in the step c) of this method.Therefore, in some embodiments In, the step b) of this method can be carried out at a temperature of more than 700 DEG C.For example, step b) temperature can be 800-1000 DEG C.
The ilmenite of prereduction (either actively or passively) is cooled down after step a) if necessary, then can be in step c) Reheated before.This can improve the output of melting and further reduce its energy expenditure.Can be at least in part using next From this method (such as from step a) or c)) recycling heat carry out this preheating.In one embodiment, in step C) ilmenite of prereduction is preheated before.Reducing agent can be preheated to such as 600 DEG C.
For the efficiency of improved method, unreacted carbon containing reducer can be circulated back to prereduction system.So, it can change Enter the heat contained in reducing agent and the service efficiency of material.In one embodiment, by the ilmenite separation from prereduction Unreacted carbon containing reducer be circulated back to prereduction reactor.
In one embodiment, will to be recycled to prereduction from the unreacted reducing agent of the ilmenite of prereduction separation anti- Answer device and/or electric arc furnaces.Reducing agent can be recycled to electric arc furnaces.Reducing agent can be carbon containing reducer.The separation of reducing agent is simultaneously followed Ring to electric arc furnaces allows the amount for adjusting the reducing agent brought into melting step.Because unreacted reducing agent can be recycled to pre- go back Former reactor, is additionally or alternatively recycled to electric arc furnaces by reducing agent, so can be adjusted by the way of this method is best suitable for The material stream of unreacted reducing agent.In other words, supply to the ratio of the unreacted reducing agent of prereduction reactor can be 0 And change between 100%.Supply to the ratio of the unreacted reducing agent of electric arc furnaces and can change between 0 and 100%.Can be from this Method removes unreacted reducing agent and gangue (it is recycled to prereduction reactor or electric arc furnaces alternatively or in addition).
In addition, can separate unreacted reducing agent to adjust prereduction by the ilmenite of the prereduction from only a part Ratio between ilmenite and reducing agent.In other words, the prereduction of unreacted reducing agent and gangue will can therefrom be eliminated Ilmenite and unsegregated prereduction the supply of both ilmenites to electric arc furnaces, i.e. this method step c).Can also be by not The ilmenite of processing is added in electric arc furnaces 2.Therefore, the unreacted reducing agent through circulation can be used to realize for melting Appropriate FeO contents.Depending on method details, it can be heated or cooled and be circulated to prereduction reactor and/or electric arc furnaces not The reducing agent of reaction.
In the step c) of this method, the ilmenite of melting prereduction in electric arc furnaces.In this step, respectively by titanyl Compound and metallicity iron are separated into melted gangue phase and metal phase.It is emphasized that this step, which can contain, is present in prereduction The further reduction of ferriferous oxide in ilmenite.However, this not necessarily and be contemplated that such embodiment, wherein Using only slags of the step c) with separating metallic iron and containing titanium oxide.
The metal of bottom substantially only contains metallicity iron so that ferriferous oxide is retained in slag.Therefore, slag phase Ferriferous oxide content depends on the degree of metallization for the iron being present in ilmenite.This can pass through the carbon containing reduction in method of smelting The amount of agent is adjusted.In order to reduce the ferriferous oxide content of slag, ferrotianium of the reducing agent relative to supply to electric arc furnaces is improved The amount of ore deposit.More ferriferous oxides are reduced into metallicity iron and molten metal phase is therefore separated into.In an embodiment In, add reducing agent in the electric arc furnaces in step c).In one embodiment, add and contain in the electric arc furnaces in step c) Carbonaceous reducing agent.
In the opposite case, less carbon containing reducer will be fed relative to the ilmenite of prereduction and introduces electric arc furnaces In.If the mobility reduction of such as slag, this can be necessary.Sometimes any carbon containing reducer can not be added to electricity In arc stove.This can be related alternative solution, if especially model of the degree of metallization of the ilmenite of prereduction in 80-90% In enclosing.In one embodiment, without addition reducing agent in the electric arc furnaces in step c).In one embodiment, exist Without addition carbon containing reducer in electric arc furnaces in step c).In other words, in the case of in the absence of the reducing agent added Carry out melting.
If being not carried out enough slag ferriferous oxide concentration in this way, it can use not by the undressed of prereduction Ilmenite supplement prereduction ilmenite.In one embodiment, add unprocessed in the electric arc furnaces in step c) Ilmenite or the ilmenite without prereduction.If will for example omit the ilmenite for separating prereduction and unreacted carbon containing reduction The method and step b) of agent, and the ilmenite of prereduction contains a large amount of reducing agents, then the unprocessed ilmenite of addition can be used to make For alternative solution.
Typically, ilmenite is lumpd to improve its particle size before electric arc furnaces is loaded.If most titanium Iron ores particle can be blown away before being incorporated in melted gangue, then need to complete this process.But after prereduction, can not have It is necessary to lump ilmenite.This is by the higher proportion institute of the ilmenite of prereduction compared with the ilmenite of non-prereduction Cause.In one embodiment, the ilmenite of the prereduction used in step c) does not lump.
In one embodiment, step c) is carried out in direct current electric arc furnace.
Direct current electric arc furnace (DC stoves) is different from ac arc furnace (AC stoves) in terms of its structure and using parameter.For example, can Thinner material is supplied into DC stoves.It provides the more flexible adjustment possibility for adjusting slag basicity.In addition, in DC The surface reduction of oxide is more efficiently in stove.This is caused by than the higher surface temperature of melted material in AC stoves.This Outside, volatile component is easier to be transferred in gas phase in DC stoves.In DC stoves electrode consumption reduce because with AC stoves Three electrodes are compared, an electrode of existence anduniquess.Typically, investment of the investment again smaller than AC stoves for DC stoves.
In one embodiment, the temperature of melted gangue phase is 1450-1850 DEG C, preferably 1550- in direct current electric arc furnace 1750 DEG C, more preferably 1680-1720 DEG C, most preferably from about 1700 DEG C;And the temperature of molten metal phase is than the temperature of melted gangue phase Spend it is low 40-200 DEG C, preferably 80-150 DEG C.
In one embodiment, step c) is carried out in ac arc furnace.
