Description

Method for directly micro-alloying rare earth elements in blast furnace slag in steel
Technical Field
The invention relates to a direct microalloying method of rare earth elements in blast furnace slag in steel, belonging to the technical field of ferrous metallurgy.
Background
The rare earth elements can play roles in purifying molten steel, modifying impurities, refining grains and microalloying in steel materials. With the continuous progress of metallurgical technology and equipment, the purity of molten steel is continuously improved, and a better and better precondition is provided for the microalloying effect of rare earth in steel. The rare earth adding mode in the existing steel mainly comprises rare earth pure metal, mixed rare earth metal or rare earth alloy blocks, which are added during molten steel refining or made into wires by a wire feeding method in a crystallizer. However, these methods involve special smelting processes of rare earth metals or alloys, which require a certain energy consumption, are very active in chemical properties of the rare earth elements and very easy to oxidize, and when metals or alloys are added, they are very easy to oxidize and cause burning loss, so that the yield after the addition is very low, and most of them exist in the form of inclusions in steel, so that the microalloying effect is hardly exerted. This also makes the rare earth a great waste of valuable resources, restricting the application and development of rare earth in the iron and steel industry. The direct alloying method is to directly reduce the oxide in the ore or slag into simple substance state or alloy compound state during steelmaking and dissolve the oxide into molten steel to realize alloying.
The first attempt of direct alloying was the research and application of the alloy in the 20 th century, 40 th year, japan, usa, germany, etc. in electric furnaces, open furnaces and induction furnaces in succession, and direct reduction alloying was performed using tungsten ore powder instead of ferrotungsten alloy. Since the 90 s of the 20 th century, much research has been carried out in China on direct alloying. Wang Weixiang et al study V 2 O 5 Smelting vanadium-containing steel by self-reduction direct alloying, wherein the final vanadium yield reaches 95.13%; zhang Yong and the like research that the industrial molybdenum oxide is directly alloyed in a converter, and the final molybdenum yield is 92.45% -93.3%; li Jinrong and the like research on direct alloying of scheelite, and take ferrosilicon as an auxiliary reducing agent, and finally the recovery rate of tungsten reaches 98%; zhang Bo and the like research on direct alloying of the manganese ore self-reduction briquetting, and finally the yield of manganese is about 90%.
Compared with the traditional smelting mode, the direct alloying can not only utilize waste slag, low-grade ore and oxides containing alloy elements for smelting, but also reduce smelting procedures, process loss, save raw materials and improve the yield of the alloy elements, and is a promising alloying high-new technology in modern smelting. Because the rare earth oxide has very stable chemical properties and is not easy to be reduced, the current research on direct alloying is focused on oxides which are relatively easy to be reduced, such as molybdenum oxide, vanadium oxide, chromium oxide, manganese oxide and the like, and the research on the rare earth element direct alloying technology is relatively less.
As previously mentioned, only micro-scale (ppm) rare earth alloying in the steel is required to provide the advantageous effect. Meanwhile, as the blast furnace slag is used as industrial solid waste, along with continuous progress of industrial production, the required stacking place is increased continuously and environmental pollution on the surrounding is not negligible, so that the secondary utilization energy of the blast furnace slag is changed into valuables, the adverse effects of the blast furnace slag on the place requirement and the environment can be effectively relieved, and the method has important strategic value and practical significance.

(2) Mixing: adding a reducing agent with the granularity of 10-100 mu m into the crushed raw materials, and uniformly mixing; adding a binder and uniformly mixing again to obtain a mixed material;
(3) And (3) compression molding: pressing the mixed material into self-reduction balls or self-reduction blocks;
(4) Feeding: when in steelmaking, the self-reducing balls or the self-reducing blocks are directly hoisted from the upper end of the steelmaking furnace or added from a storage bin, and the adding amount is 0.1-3% of the mass of molten steel;
(5) Direct microalloying: melting self-reducing balls or self-reducing blocks by utilizing the temperature of molten steel in the steelmaking process, and reducing the rare earth oxide in the raw slag into rare earth alloy or elemental rare earth by a reduction reaction in a slag phase; the microalloying time is 10 min-60 min, and the microalloying is performed in the molten steel through slag-steel interface diffusion.
2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the rare earth element-containing blast furnace slag is a blast furnace slag produced by blast furnace ironmaking of a rare earth-iron paragenetic ore, or a blast furnace slag to which a rare earth oxide is artificially added, or a rare earth oxide-containing formulation slag self-formulated according to a blast furnace slag component.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the reducing agent is any one or a mixture of aluminum, silicon, magnesium, calcium, and barium; the mass of the reducing agent is 5-20% of the total mass of the raw materials by the total amount of the raw materials.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the binder is any one or a mixture of water glass, synthetic resin, bentonite, starch, dextrin and asphalt; the mass of the binder is 0.05-1% of the total mass of the raw materials by the total amount of the raw materials.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the rare earth element is present in the form of an oxide, which is any one or a mixture of a plurality of lanthanum oxide, cerium oxide, praseodymium oxide, neodymium oxide; based on the total weight of the raw materials, the total weight of the rare earth oxide is 0.3-10% of the total weight of the raw materials.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein the diameter of the self-reducing spheres is from 10mm to 60mm; the size of the self-reduction block is 10 mm-60 mm.
