Description

PROCEDE D' OBTENTION SILICQ-THERMIQUE, EN POCHE, D'ALLIAGES A BASE DE MANGANESE ET DE SILICIUM La présente invention concerne un procédé d'obtention, par silicothermie, d'alliages à base de manganèse, et de silicium. The present invention relates to a process for obtaining, by silicothermia, manganese-based alloys, and silicon.
Il est connu de fabriquer des alliages à base de manganèse, tels que les ferromanganèses à bas-se teneur en carbone, de 0,02 à 2 % (ferromanganèses dits "suraffinés" et "affinés") par réaction silicothermique entre une phase liquide obtenue par fusion réductrice d'un minerai de manganèse et de chaux. et un silico-manganèse contenant de 10 à 45 % de silicium. Bien que ces silico-manganèses à moyenne teneur en silicium soient d'une fabrication relativement aisée, leur .utilisation entraîne quelques inconvénients. En particulier, lorsque le silico-manganèse est fabriqué à l'avance et stocké à l'état solide, par exemple dans les périodes de l'année où l'énergie hydro-électrique est abondante, il faut, au moment de l'utilisation, refondre, pour chaque tonne de silicium utile, de 1,2 à 9 tonnes du ballast constitué par les éléments d'alliages (Fer + manganèse).It is known to manufacture manganese-based alloys, such as low-carbon ferromanganese, from 0.02 to 2% (so-called "super-refined" and "refined" ferromanganese) by silicothermic reaction between a liquid phase obtained by reductive fusion of a manganese and lime ore. and a silico-manganese containing from 10 to 45% of silicon. Although these silico-manganese with a medium silicon content are relatively easy to manufacture, their use entails some drawbacks. In particular, when the silico-manganese is manufactured in advance and stored in the solid state, for example during the periods of the year when hydroelectric energy is abundant, it is necessary, at the time of use , recast, for each tonne of useful silicon, from 1.2 to 9 tonnes of the ballast made up of the alloying elements (Iron + manganese).
Un procédé de réduction silico-thermique de minerai de manganèse a été décrit, notamment dans le brevet américain US 3 347 664 (au nom d'Union Carbide). Dans ce procédé, et dans de nombreux procédés analogues dans lesquels on traite un mélange fondu de minerai de manganèse et de chaux par un réducteur à base de silicium, on obtient, outre le métal, un laitier non épuisé dont la teneur en manganèse peut atteindre jusqu'à 20 à 25 %, lorsqu'on opère par silico-thermie et jusqu'à 30 à 35 %, lorsqu'on produit du ferromanganëse carburé (à 6-8 % de C) par carbothermie. Actuellement, ces laitiers sont refroidis en lingotières, stockés et retraités dans un stade ultérieur par carbothermie au four électrique, ce qui donne un laitier à peu près épuisé (moins de 6 % de Mn) et un silicomanganèse dont la teneur en Si peut aller de 10 à 45 % que l'on réintroduit dans un cyclεde silico-thermie. Mais, ce faisant, on perd toute la chaleur sensible contenue dans le laitier liquide riche en Mn, et il faut, en outre, affecter un four spécial à l'épuisement carbothermique de ce laitier.A process for the silico-thermal reduction of manganese ore has been described, in particular in US Pat. No. 3,347,664 (in the name of Union Carbide). In this process, and in many similar processes in which a molten mixture of manganese ore and lime is treated with a silicon-based reducing agent, in addition to the metal, an unplanned slag is obtained, the manganese content of which can reach up to 20 to 25%, when operating by thermothermal and up to 30 to 35%, when producing ferromanganese fuel (at 6-8% C) by carbothermal. Currently, these slags are cooled in molds, stored and reprocessed in a later stage by carbothermy in an electric oven, which gives a roughly exhausted slag (less than 6% of Mn) and a silico-manganese whose Si content can range from 10 to 45% which is reintroduced into a silico-thermal cycle. However, in doing so, all the sensible heat contained in the liquid slag rich in Mn is lost, and a special oven must also be assigned to the carbothermal exhaustion of this slag.
Le procédé, objet de l'invention, a pour but essentiel de récupérer le manganèse présent dans les laitiers non épuisés et d'obtenir un alliage à base de manganèse, contenant au moins 60 % et de préférence au moins 70 % de manganèse, le solde étant du fer, du silicium à une teneur comprise entre 5 et 40 %, et, de préférence entre 10 et 35 %, et les impuretés habituelles : aluminium, calcium, carbone, soufre, phosphore, à une teneur totale ne dépassant pas 5 %, et, le plus souvent, très inférieure à cette valeur.The main object of the process which is the subject of the invention is to recover the manganese present in the non-exhausted slag and to obtain an alloy based on manganese, containing at least 60% and preferably at least 70%. manganese, the balance being iron, silicon at a content between 5 and 40%, and preferably between 10 and 35%, and the usual impurities: aluminum, calcium, carbon, sulfur, phosphorus, at a total content not more than 5%, and more often than not much less than this value.
Ce procédé comporte les stades suivants :This process involves the following stages:
- On part d'un laitier liquide contenant de 10 à 40 % et le plus souvent de 20 à 35 % de manganèse, sous forme d'oxyde, à une valence sensiblement égale à 2.- We start from a liquid slag containing from 10 to 40% and most often from 20 to 35% of manganese, in the form of oxide, at a valence substantially equal to 2.
- On l'additionne d'un alliage réducteur, à base de silicium, contenant plus de 60, et, de préférence, plus de 70 % de silicium.- We add a reducing alloy, based on silicon, containing more than 60, and preferably more than 70% silicon.
- On met en contact, par agitation, le laitier liquide et l'alliage réducteur. - On sépare, par décantation, d'une part un laitier liquide sensiblement épuisé en manganèse, et d'autre part, un métal dont la teneur en manganèse est au moins égale à 60 % et, le plus souvent supérieure à 70 %, et la teneur en silicium comprise entre 5 et 40 % et, de préférence, entre 10 et 35 %.- The liquid slag and the reducing alloy are brought into contact, by stirring. - Separating, by decantation, on the one hand a liquid slag substantially depleted of manganese, and on the other hand, a metal whose manganese content is at least equal to 60% and, more often than not above 70%, and the silicon content of between 5 and 40% and preferably between 10 and 35%.
Le laitier liquide peut provenir, en particulier, de la réaction entre un mélange fondu de minerai de manganèse et de chaux, d'une part, et un alliage réducteur à base de silicium, d'autre part, cet alliage étant généralement un silico-manganèse contenant de 10 à 45 % de silicium; le laitier liquide, généralement appelé "laitier non épuisé" peut contenir de 10 à 40 % et, le plus souvent, de 20 à 35 % de manganèse sous une forme voisine de MnO. Les autres constituants du laitier sont - outre la chaux ajoutée comme fondant - l'alumine, la silice et, le plus souvent, la magnésie. On peut donner, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, la composition type suivante :Liquid slag can originate, in particular, from the reaction between a molten mixture of manganese ore and lime, on the one hand, and a reducing alloy based on silicon, on the other hand, this alloy generally being a silico- manganese containing 10 to 45% silicon; liquid slag, generally called "non-exhausted slag" can contain from 10 to 40% and, more often, from 20 to 35% of manganese in a form close to MnO. The other constituents of the slag are - in addition to lime added as a flux - alumina, silica and, more often than not, magnesia. The following standard composition can be given, by way of nonlimiting example:
MnO 26 - 34 %MnO 26 - 34%
FeO 1 - 1,5 %FeO 1 - 1.5%
MgO 2 - 3,5 %MgO 2 - 3.5%
Al2O3 4 - 6 % SiO2 24 - 26 %Al 2 O 3 4 - 6% SiO 2 24 - 26%
CaO 28 - 32 %CaO 28 - 32%
La teneur en silicium de l' alliage réducteur doit être au moins égale à 60 % et, de préférence, au moins égale à 70 %. Elle peut atteindre 98 à 99 % dans certains cas. Le solde peut être constitué essentiellement par du fer, et il s'agit alors d'un "ferro-silicium", ou par du manganèse et il s'agit alors d'un "silico-manganèse" dit à haut titre. Un tel silicomanganèse à haut titre en silicium peut être obtenu par différentes méthodes connues et, en particulier : par fusion simultanée ou mélange à l'état fondu d'au moins deux métaux ou alliages apportant les éléments nécessaires à la composition visée.The silicon content of the reducing alloy must be at least equal to 60% and preferably at least 70%. It can reach 98 to 99% in some cases. The balance can consist essentially of iron, and it is then a "ferro-silicon", or by manganese and it is then a "silico-manganese" said in high capacity. Such silicomanganese with a high silicon content can be obtained by various known methods and, in particular: by simultaneous fusion or mixture in the molten state of at least two metals or alloys providing the elements necessary for the targeted composition.
Par exemple, par fusion d'une tonne de ferro-silicium ayant la composition pondérale :For example, by melting a ton of ferro-silicon having the weight composition:
Si 98 %If 98%
Fe 0,5 % div. 1,5 % (Ca, Al) et de 380 kg de ferromanganëse affiné ayant la composition pondérale :Fe 0.5% div. 1.5% (Ca, Al) and 380 kg of refined ferromanganese having the weight composition:
Mn 82,1 %Mn 82.1%
Fe 15,9 % div. 2,0 % on obtient un silico-manganèse "haut titre" ayant la composition pondéraie :Fe 15.9% div. 2.0% we obtain a "high titer" silico-manganese having the composition weight:
Si 71,0 %If 71.0%
Mn 22,6 %Mn 22.6%
Fe 4,7 % div. 1,6 %Fe 4.7% div. 1.6%
Un autre procédé consiste à réduire, de façon connue, par exemple dans un four électrique, des composés oxydés d'au moins un des deux éléments principaux de l'alliage.Another method consists in reducing, in a known manner, for example in an electric oven, oxidized compounds of at least one of the two main elements of the alloy.
La mise en contact du laitier liquide et de l'alliage réducteur peut être effectuée par tout moyen d'agitation connu, tel que le procédé de renversements successifs de poche à poche dit "procédé Ugine-Perrin" décrit, en particulier, dans les brevets français n° 755 939, 761 460, 762 928, 780 125, 830 064, 843 661, ou encore par insufflation d'un gaz, par exemple air ou gaz inerte, au moyen d'une tuyère à simple ou double flux débouchant à la partie inférieure de la poche dans laquelle on a introduit le laitier et le réducteur, ou encore dans une poche à secousse, ou par tout autre moyen équivalent. Dans le cas d'une tuyère à double flux, on injecte de préférence l'air ou le gaz inerte par la partie centrale et un gaz protecteur par la partie annulaire.The contact of the liquid slag and the reducing alloy can be carried out by any known stirring means, such as the process of successive overturning from pocket to pocket called "Ugine-Perrin process" described, in particular, in the patents French n ° 755 939, 761 460, 762 928, 780 125, 830 064, 843 661, or even by blowing a gas, for example air or inert gas, by means of a single or double flow nozzle leading to the lower part of the pocket into which the slag and the reducing agent have been introduced, or else in a shaking pocket, or by any other equivalent means. In the case of a double-flow nozzle, air or inert gas is preferably injected through the central part and a protective gas through the annular part.
Lorsqu'on procède au brassage par déversement d'une première poche dans une deuxième poche préalablement préchauffée, l'alliage réducteur peut être introduit soit dans la première poche, soit au moment du premier déversement dans la deuxième poche.When brewing is carried out by pouring a first pocket into a second preheated pocket, the reducing alloy can be introduced either into the first pocket or at the time of the first pouring into the second pocket.
Les exemples qui suivent permettent de préciser différents modes de mise en oeuvre de l'invention.The examples which follow make it possible to specify different modes of implementing the invention.
EXEMPLE 1EXAMPLE 1
Dans une poche garnie en magnésie goudronnée, munie à sa base, latéralement, d'une tuyère de 6 mm de diamètre intérieur, on déverse 1000 kg de laitier liquide non épuisé provenant de la fabrication de ferromanganèse affiné et titrant 22,9 % de manganèse. En même temps, on déverse dans la même poche 225 kg d'un alliage silicium-manganèse "haut titre", solide, en grains de 2 à 10 mm environ et contenant 65,9 % de silicium et 27,8 % de manganèse.In a pocket lined with tarred magnesia, provided at its base, laterally, with a nozzle with an internal diameter of 6 mm, 1000 kg of non-exhausted liquid slag from the manufacture of refined ferromanganese and titrating 22.9% manganese . At the same time, 225 kg of a solid, high-grade silicon-manganese alloy are poured into the same pocket, in grains of 2 to 10 mm approximately and containing 65.9% silicon and 27.8% manganese.
On souffle de l'air par la tuyère avec un débit de 26 Nm3/h.Air is blown through the nozzle with a flow rate of 26 Nm3 / h.
L'agitation qui en résulte est maintenue pendant 12 minutes.The resulting agitation is maintained for 12 minutes.
On sépare par décantation un laitier ne contenant plus que 2,3 % de manganèse et 330 kg de silico-manganèse contenant 21,8 % de silicium et 75,6 % de manganèse. Ces résultats sont tout à fait comparables à ceux que l'on obtient habituellement dans la réduction carbothermique au four électrique des mêmes laitiers de ferromanganëse, mais ils ont été obtenus directement à partir de ces laitiers liquides sans qu'il soit nécessaire de les refroidir et de les concasser, puis de les refondre.A slag containing no more than 2.3% manganese and 330 kg of silico-manganese containing 21.8% silicon and 75.6% manganese is separated by decantation. These results are quite comparable to those usually obtained in the carbothermic reduction in an electric oven of the same slag ferromanganese, but they were obtained directly from these liquid slags without the need to cool them and to crush them, then to recast them.
Dans cet exemple, l'agitation, et la mise en contact des phases liquide et solide, qui ont été obtenues par soufflage d'air dans une tuyère, auraient pu être produites, avec un résultat identique, par les moyens classiques : déversement de poche à poche, poche a secousse, agitateur mécanique. EXEMPLE 2In this example, the stirring, and the contacting of the liquid and solid phases, which were obtained by blowing air into a nozzle, could have been produced, with an identical result, by the conventional means: ladle spillage pocket, shaker pocket, mechanical stirrer. EXAMPLE 2
Dans une poche garnie en magnésie goudronnée, on a introduit 1000 kg de laitier liquide provenant de la fabrication de ferro-manganèse affiné, et titrant 23,1 % de manganèse, et 190 kg d'un alliage silicium-manganèse solide, en grains de 2 à 10 mm environ et contenant 71 % de silicium, 25 % de manganèse, 0, 1 % de carbone et 3,9 % de fer et divers (calcium, aluminium, soufre, phosphore....)1000 kg of liquid slag from the manufacture of refined ferro-manganese, grading 23.1% of manganese, and 190 kg of a solid silicon-manganese alloy, in grains of 2 to 10 mm approximately and containing 71% of silicon, 25% of manganese, 0, 1% of carbon and 3.9% of iron and various (calcium, aluminum, sulfur, phosphorus ...)
On a ensuite déversé le mélange dans une seconde poche identique, préalablement préchauffée par un brûleur à gaz, puis on l'a versé à nouveau dans la première poche, de façon à assurer un bon brassage des produits.The mixture was then poured into a second identical pocket, previously preheated by a gas burner, then it was poured again into the first pocket, so as to ensure good mixing of the products.
On a obtenu, par décantation, d'une part un laitier sensiblement épuisé à 2,2 % de Mn, et d'autre part 340 kg de silico-manganèse à 22 % de silicium et 74,6 % de manganèse, les autres constituants étant essentiellement du fer (3,1 %) et diverses impuretés mineures (aluminium, calcium, soufre, phosphore, carbone).On the one hand, a substantially exhausted slag containing 2.2% of Mn was obtained on the one hand, and on the other hand 340 kg of silico-manganese with 22% of silicon and 74.6% of manganese, the other constituents being mainly iron (3.1%) and various minor impurities (aluminum, calcium, sulfur, phosphorus, carbon).

Dans la même poche que dans l'exemple 1, munie d'une tuyère latérale, on déverse 1000 kg de laitier liquide provenant de la fabrication de ferromanganèse affiné, titrant 23,1 % de manganèse, et, en même temps, 275 kg d'un silicomanganèse à 71 % de Silicium et 25 % de manganèse concassé en grains de 2 à 10 mm.In the same pocket as in Example 1, fitted with a side nozzle, 1000 kg of liquid slag from the manufacture of refined ferromanganese, pouring out 23.1% of manganese, and, at the same time, 275 kg d '' a silico-manganese containing 71% silicon and 25% manganese crushed into grains of 2 to 10 mm.
On souffle de l'air, par la tuyère, pendant 12 mn, avec un débit de 26 Nm3/h, de façon à entretenir une agitation intense mettant en contact les deux phases.Air is blown through the nozzle for 12 min, with a flow rate of 26 Nm3 / h, so as to maintain intense agitation bringing the two phases into contact.
On sépare, par décantation, un laitier ne contenant pas plus de 2,0 % de manganèse, et 425 kg de silico-manganëse contenant 31,2 % de Silicium, 66,2 % de Manganèse, 2,6 7. de Fer et moins de 0,03 % de Carbone.A slag containing not more than 2.0% manganese is separated by decantation and 425 kg of silico-manganese containing 31.2% of Silicon, 66.2% of Manganese, 2.6% of Iron and less than 0.03% Carbon.
