Description

[0002] Baotou Steel Group is rich in rare earth resources, and the ore is the main source of iron ore for steel production. After sintering and pelletizing of high-proportioned Baiyun ore, the rare earth in the raw material mainly enters the blast furnace slag in the form of rare earth oxide, and its content is determined by the proportion of local ore in the raw material. According to the metallurgical function and physical and chemical properties of the slag in the steelmaking process, the rare earth oxide in the slag is added to the slag to form a refining slag with a rare earth direct alloying function in the refining process. Under the premise of ensuring the refining function, the rare earth in the slag is reduced into the steel. The alloying process avoids the oxidation atmosphere of the converter blowing process, and uses the reducing atmosphere of the refining process to produce rare earth steel with part of the rare earth elements in the blast furnace slag. This can reasonably utilize the blast furnace slag resources of Baotou Steel, simplify the rare earth addition process, uniform the rare earth composition in the steel, improve the castability of the rare earth steel, reduce the production cost, and realize the reutilization of rare earth oxide in solid waste.
