Problems solved by technology

[0003] (1) Dolomite needs to be calcined at 1150-1200°C for 2-3 hours to obtain high-activity calcined white; at the same time, about 5% of powder and fines will be produced during the calcination process, which cannot be used for magnesium smelting, resulting in a large amount of waste of resources and energy;
[0004] (2) The high-activity segment white is easy to absorb water and moisture, and it is difficult to store and transport. Generally, it cannot exceed 24 hours, resulting in high storage and transport costs;
[0005] (3) Press calcined white, reducing agent, and fluorite into dense pellets for vacuum reduction, resulting in slow reduction speed, long reduction cycle, low reduction rate, and high production cost
At present, the reduction cycle is mostly 8-12 hours, while the reduction rate of metal magnesium is only about 85%.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of metallurgy, and in particular relates to a method for smelting magnesium through vacuum thermal reduction of precast pellets. The method comprises the steps of: uniformly mixing dolomite, a reducing agent and fluorite by mass, and then adding a binding agent; preparing raw pellets with diameters of 5-20mm by using a disk pelleting machine; calcining the raw pellets under a nitrogen or argon protection atmosphere to obtain calcined cured pellets; and carrying out vacuum thermal reduction for 0.5-2 hours on the calcined cured pellets at a temperature of 1150 DEG C under the vacuum degree of 10 Pa to obtain the magnesium. The method has the advantages of high raw material utilization rate, high reduction rate, short reduction period, low energy consumption and the like; and compared with the traditional ferrosilicon process for smelting the magnesium, the method realizes the technical upgrading of the ferrosilicon process for smelting.
