The invention relates to a method for removing carbon in
vanadium-containing molten iron by injection of CO2 or limestone. The method comprises a step (1) of leading the
vanadium-containing molten iron into an
induction furnace, and guaranteeing that the temperature of the
vanadium-containing molten iron is larger than or equal to 1450 DEG C; a step (2) of stirring the vanadium-containing molten iron to form a vortex; a step (3) of blowing CO2 or limestone
powder into the vortex, wherein according to the
mole ratio, the injection amount of CO2 or limestone
powder is 1.2-1.5 times element C in the vanadium-containing molten iron and the injection time is 30-60 min; continuing to perform eccentric stirring, and obtaining the carbon-removed vanadium-containing molten iron and
molten slag, and collecting generated CO and unreacted CO2; a step (4) of causing CO to generate CO2 through aftertreatment, and recycling CO2; and separating the vanadium-containing molten iron and the
molten slag. According to the method, by injection of CO2 or limestone, carbon removal is performed, the carbon does not react with V in the vanadium-containing molten iron, and the goal of reducing carbon and protecting vanadium is achieved. The carbon-removed vanadium-containing molten iron can be directly used for
smelting vandium steel, the vandium steel
smelting production cycle is greatly shortened, the vandium
utilization rate is improved, and the method has good economic and
social benefits.
