[Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a method for producing low carbon ferrochrome by the Perrin process. [Conventional technology] Low carbon ferrochrome usually contains 60% or more of Cr, CO.10
% or less, and is used as a Cr-added material in special steels, especially stainless steels. As a method for producing this low carbon ferrochrome, the Perrin method has been widely used for a long time. In the Perrin process, chromium ore and burnt lime are melted in a tilting electric furnace to form primary slag, the primary slag is tapped by tilting the furnace, silico, chromium, etc. are added in a ladle, and the Perrin reaction is carried out. , which produces low carbon ferrochrome. The electric furnace used to form the primary slag in the Perrin process is a tilting type electric furnace, which melts the entire amount and taps the molten metal while tilting, since the temperature at which the primary slag is tapped is as high as about 1800°C. In this case, when the primary slag is tapped, the surface of the primary slag in the furnace becomes bare, and the Cr 3 ,
Since Fe 2 absorbs O 2 from the atmosphere and becomes stable higher-order oxides of Cr 6 and Fe 3 , the oxygen content in the primary slag increases, and therefore the silico, chromium, etc. added in the next process increases. It is necessary to use an excess of the silicon compound over the original theoretical amount. Since this silicon compound is the most expensive raw material for the production of low carbon ferrochrome, one measure for reducing the unit consumption is the method disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 14968/1983. That is, preheated chromium ore and quicklime are mixed with a carbon-containing reducing agent such as powdered coke and melted in an electric furnace.The molten metal is then tilted and transferred to a ladle, where it reacts with molten silicon compound to produce low-carbon ferrochrome. This is a method of manufacturing. [Problems to be solved by the invention] However, in the Perrin process for producing low-carbon ferrochrome, when forming primary slag using a tilting electric furnace, a carbon-containing reducing agent is added to the raw materials of chromium ore and burnt lime. Even if an attempt is made to reduce the unit consumption of silicon compounds by mixing, almost all of the raw materials are melted and the surface of the hot water becomes bare when the hot water is tipped and tapped. As a result, heat dissipates from the surface of the furnace in a large amount, resulting in poor thermal efficiency.In addition, electricity must be stopped in order to pull out electrodes that get in the way due to tilting, resulting in a decrease in energization rate and heat loss due to furnace shutdown. There's a problem. The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems, and when tapping primary slag in an electric furnace,
To provide a method for producing low-carbon ferrochrome by the Perrin method, which provides heat for smooth tapping without leaving the surface of the primary slag in a furnace bare, and also allows tapping without shutting down the furnace. purpose. [Means and effects for solving the problems] The present invention uses chromium ore and burnt lime as raw materials, melts them in an electric furnace, taps the primary slag, and adds silicon compounds such as silicochrome to the molten primary slag. In addition, in the method for producing low-carbon ferrochrome by the Perrin reaction, the electric furnace is a fixed type electric furnace with a tap hole located at a position higher than the bottom of the furnace to form a pool, and the amount of primary slag discharged and the remaining amount in the pool are adjusted. This is a method for producing low carbon ferrochrome in which the ratio of the amount of hot water (residual amount of hot water/molten metal discharged amount) is in the range of 0.5 to 4.0, and the primary slag is tapped while continuously covering the raw material to be charged to the surface of the hot water in the furnace while being energized. In the present invention, the electric furnace for forming the molten primary slag needs to be a fixed type electric furnace having a tap hole located at a position higher than the bottom of the furnace to form a pool. The reason why the tap hole is provided at a position higher than the bottom of the furnace to form a pool is that when the primary slag is tapped, a stable amount of heat is maintained by the remaining hot water in the pool. The reason for using a stationary electric furnace is to stop pulling out the electrodes and make it possible to tap the hot water without having to shut down the furnace. In the present invention, the ratio between the amount of hot water discharged from the primary slag and the amount of remaining hot water in the pool (residual hot water amount/feeding amount) is 0.5 to 4.0.
It is necessary to tap the primary slag within the range of . If it is less than 0.5, the amount of remaining hot water will be small and the amount of hot water produced by the primary slag will not have a stable amount of heat. Therefore, after tapping the hot water, there is a lack of heat in the reaction with silicon compounds such as silicochrome, which causes boiling and other problems.
If it exceeds 4.0, it depends on the specifications of the electric furnace, but the height of the furnace will be higher than necessary, which is not practical. An electric furnace must have an internal volume that corresponds to the power used (KVA), and the hearth area, furnace depth, distance between electrode surfaces, etc. are generally determined by formulas determined from past experience. It has been calculated. In addition, in the present invention, when tapping the primary slag,
The surface of the primary slag in the furnace must be covered with the raw material that is continuously charged. This prevents heat dissipation from the surface of the primary slag into the atmosphere, increasing thermal efficiency. Electricity is then applied even while the primary slag is being tapped to melt the raw material. The level of the primary slag in the furnace gradually falls as the hot water is tapped, but it stops near the level of the tap. This means that the temperature at which the primary slag comes out is approximately 1800.
℃, the temperature of the surface of the hot water in contact with the raw material drops as the heat is absorbed by the raw material, and the flow of hot water stops naturally due to its high viscosity. The tapped primary slag is received in a ladle, where a silicon compound such as silicochrome is added to produce low carbon ferrochrome through the Perrin reaction as described below. Low carbon ferrochrome is separated from slag and becomes a product. 2Cr 2 O 3 +3Si=4Cr+3SiO 2 2FeO+Si=2Fe+SiO 2 SiO 2 +2CaO=Ca 2 SiO 3 [Example] The method of the present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an embodiment of a three-phase Errou type fixed electric furnace used in the method of the present invention. As shown in the figure, a three-phase electric furnace 1 has an outlet 3 located higher than the bottom 2 of the furnace to form a sump 4. Three electrodes 13 are charged into the furnace, and their tips are buried in the raw materials 6 of chromium ore and burnt lime charged from the raw material chute 5. By applying electricity, the raw material is melted to form primary slag 7. The electrode 13 is operated so that the tip position is higher than the level of the primary slag, and when a predetermined primary slag is formed,
The tapping port 3 is opened to tap the primary slag.
The discharged primary slag is received in a ladle 8, where a molten or solid silicon compound such as silicochrome produced in another electric furnace is added to produce low carbon ferrochrome by Perrin reaction. In this case, the amount of hot water dispensed is the ratio of the amount of hot water remaining in the pool 4 (amount of remaining hot water/
Hot water is discharged in the range of 0.5 to 4.0. At the time of tapping, the surface of the primary slag in the furnace is covered with the raw material 6 that is continuously charged, and the tapping is performed with electricity being applied. In this case, the electrode 13 is a Zeterberg electrode. 11 is a holder. The furnace shell 9 is provided with a lining layer 10 . Reference numeral 12 denotes a cover for collecting dust from generated gas at the furnace lid. Next, a specific example of the present invention will be described in which a fixed electric furnace as shown in FIG. 1 is used to form a primary slag to produce low carbon ferrochrome. (Example 1) A 6000 KVA 3-phase Elu type fixed electric furnace is used, and a tap outlet is provided at a height from the bottom of the furnace so that the remaining amount of molten metal in the molten pool is 25000 kg. Remaining hot water ratio (remaining hot water amount/output hot water amount) = 25000/12000≒2.1
The hot springs (tap) were provided every three hours. A conventional method using a tilting electric furnace was used for comparison. The formulation contents are shown in Table 1, and the operational results are shown in Table 2.

For comparison, we used a 4000KVA three-phase Elu type fixed electric furnace with a tap hole located at the bottom of the furnace. In this case, we had no choice but to use a batch type to stabilize the hot water flow. The formulation contents are shown in Table 3, and the operational results are shown in Table 4.
