Abstract

The invention relates to a method of preparing nickel-iron alloy through natural gas two-step reduction of nickel laterite and electric furnace smelting separation and belongs to the technical field of nonferrous metallurgy. The method of preparing nickel-iron alloy through natural gas two-step reduction of the nickel laterite and electric furnace smelting separation comprises the following steps: crushing the nickel laterite, then introducing natural gas as a reducing agent into a first closed type reduction furnace, carrying out first-step reduction to obtain a reduzate and reducing tail gas, adding the reduzate and the reducing tail gas in a second closed type reduction furnace, carrying out second-step reduction to obtain a reduzate and tail gas, returning the tail gas into the second closed type reduction furnace, and carrying out electric furnace smelting separation on the reduzate to obtain the nickel-iron alloy and slag. According to the method, as the whole production process is a continuous process, the heat loss is smaller, and the energy utilization ratio is high; and with combination of the two-step reduction through the closed type reduction furnaces and electric furnace smelting separation, the nickel laterite is treated with the natural gas as the reducing agent, and the production process of the nickel laterite is efficient and clean.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a nickel-iron alloy by two-step reduction of laterite nickel ore with natural gas and electric furnace melting, and belongs to the technical field of non-ferrous metal metallurgy. Background technique [0002] Nickel has good plasticity, corrosion resistance and magnetic properties, so it is mainly used in steel, nickel-based alloys, electroplating and batteries, etc. It is widely used in various military manufacturing industries such as aircraft and radar, civil machinery manufacturing and Electroplating industry, etc. Two-thirds of the world's primary nickel ore is used for the production of stainless steel. Stainless steel accounts for 61% of the world's nickel consumption structure, and nickel for stainless steel in China has accounted for 84% of the total consumption. With the rapid development of social industry, the consumption of nickel continues to increase, and the nickel sulfide ore with highe...
