Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of titanium-iron alloy preparation, and in particular relates to a titanium-iron alloy FeTi70 preparation method and a dielectric separation device. Background Art
[0002] Ferrotitanium is an intermediate alloy of titanium and iron, used as a deoxidizer, degasser and carbon-sulfur stabilizer in steel smelting. Ferrotitanium plays a key role in the production of steel. Through the titanium element it contains, it can effectively purify molten steel and improve the quality and performance of steel. For example, titanium deoxidation in the production of killed steel can reduce the segregation of the upper part of the ingot and improve the quality of steel; titanium combines with nitrogen dissolved in molten steel to form stable titanium nitride, eliminating the adverse effects of nitrogen on steel properties; titanium combines with sulfur in molten steel to form titanium sulfide, which can eliminate the production of iron sulfide that causes hot brittleness; titanium combines with carbon to form extremely stable titanium carbide, and the particles of titanium carbide can prevent the growth of steel grains, refine the structure of steel, and improve the strength of steel. In addition, using ferrotitanium as a coating component in welding rods can improve welding quality.
[0003] The production methods of ferrotitanium mainly include the aluminothermic method, the electrosilicon thermal method and the electrocarbon thermal method, as well as the remelting method of scrap titanium metal. These methods use different reducing agents and process conditions to extract titanium and iron from raw materials to produce ferrotitanium alloys. For example, the aluminothermic method is to produce ferrotitanium by reducing ilmenite (FeTiO3) with aluminum. This method is relatively easy and the product has a low carbon content, but high aluminum and silicon. The electrosilicon thermal method and the electrocarbon thermal method use silicon and carbon as reducing agents, respectively, to reduce TiO2 under high temperature conditions to produce ferrotitanium. The scrap titanium metal remelting method uses titanium waste and scrap steel as raw materials, remelting them in an induction furnace to produce ferrotitanium with about 70% Ti.
[0004] According to the different titanium contents, ferrotitanium is mainly divided into three varieties: FeTi30 (containing Ti25.0%-35.0%, Al<8.5%, Si<5.0%), FeTi40 (containing Ti35.0%-45.0%, Al<9.5%, Si<4.0%) and FeTi70 (containing Ti65%-75%, A10.5%~5%, Si<0.5%). The international market has a large demand for high-titanium ferrotitanium with high titanium content, but my country's current ferroalloy factories generally only produce ordinary medium and low ferrotitanium. There is little production experience for high-titanium ferrotitanium with w(Ti)=65%~75%, w(Al)≤4%.
[0005] In the prior art, "Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. Titanium and Titanium Alloys." proposes a method for preparing titanium iron alloy FeTi70 from titanium alloy waste, low carbon or medium carbon steel waste. Titanium alloy waste mainly includes block titanium waste, flaky scraps and shavings. Without using flux, the raw materials are placed in an induction furnace with magnesite as the furnace lining for melting, and an iron oxide film is formed on the surface of the titanium iron metal solution to protect the prepared FeTi70 from oxidation. The disadvantages of this method are: the cost of titanium alloy waste is high, the waste is highly dependent on the titanium alloy market conditions, and the titanium alloy waste contains some elements that have a negative impact on FeTi70, such as Sn, Al, V, Mo, Mn, Cr, Si, Nb, Zr, etc.
[0006] CN102605182B (Mei Zefeng, Zhu Xiangying, Xia Hongliang, Lin Yifei, authorized on January 22, 2014) discloses a method for producing 70# high titanium iron by an off-furnace method. The method uniformly mixes rutile, titanium iron concentrate, reducing agent, sodium chlorate and lime in a certain proportion, puts the mixture into a special closed high temperature and high pressure resistant reactor, spreads an appropriate amount of magnesium chips on the top of the mixture, uses an off-furnace electric ignition to ignite the magnesium chips to start the smelting reaction, and shakes the reactor during the smelting process to promote the full progress of the reaction. After cooling and depressurization, the furnace is opened to take out the reactants, slag and gold are separated and finished to obtain 70# high titanium iron. The method has simple process, low equipment investment, low production cost, high product quality standard, oxygen content less than 2%, meets the requirements of steelmaking process, and has high economic and social benefits. The disadvantage of this method is that there is a high risk of explosion. The charge contains active oxidant NaClO3, which may explode due to mechanical collision between the charges, and the dust suspended in the air is also explosive. Summary of the invention

[0027] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments shown below do not limit the invention content described in the claims. In addition, the entire contents of the structures represented by the following embodiments are not limited to those necessary as solutions to the invention described in the claims.
[0028] A method for preparing titanium-iron alloy FeTi70 comprises the following steps:
[0029] (1) Smelting titanium-iron alloy: TiO2, Mg and Fe are charged into a medium frequency smelting furnace according to the mass ratio of (52-57):(31-34):(9-17) for smelting, and the smelting temperature is controlled to be 1085-1300°C, the vibration frequency is 10-200 Hz, and the vibration amplitude is 0.1-10 mm. After the reaction is completed, the mixture is cooled to obtain a mixture of titanium-iron alloy FeTi70 and slag MgO2;
[0030] (2) Dielectric separation: The mixture of the titanium-iron alloy FeTi70 and the slag MgO2 is crushed to 200-270 mesh, and then subjected to dielectric separation. The dielectric liquid for dielectric separation is one or more of methanol, carbon tetrachloride, and water to obtain the titanium-iron alloy FeTi70 and the slag MgO2.
[0031] The present invention is shown in reaction (1), wherein (Ti+0.37Fe) is a titanium-iron alloy with a mass ratio of Ti to Fe of 7:3, namely FeTi70.
[0032] TiO2+2Mg+(0.37)Fe→(Ti+0.37Fe)+2MgO2 (1)
[0033] The numbers preceding the elements in formula (1) represent the molar ratio of each element.
[0034] The method of the present invention comprises the following steps: mixing raw materials titanium dioxide powder, iron powder and magnesium powder according to a mass ratio of TiO2:Mg:Fe=(52-57):(31-34):(9-17) and then charging them into a reaction furnace for smelting. If the weight ratio of TiO2 to Fe is not within a specified range, the titanium content of the product iron-titanium alloy will not be between 65% and 75%, and the melting point of the product iron-titanium alloy will be greater than 1300°C (e.g. Figure 1 ), resulting in an incomplete reaction. The weight of magnesium in the raw material must also be maintained in the range of 31-34%. If the weight of magnesium is <31%, the titanium content extracted from the raw material will be reduced; if the weight of magnesium is >34%, part of the magnesium will not participate in the reaction (1), and it will remain in the slag or pass into the gas phase, resulting in a waste of reducing agent magnesium.
[0035] The present invention also requires strict control of the reaction furnace temperature between 1085-1300°C. If the furnace temperature is lower than 1085°C, the ferro-titanium alloy is present in the form of small metal particles through the reaction (1), and the small metal particles will not melt together, resulting in difficulty in separating the ferro-titanium alloy and the slag. At the same time, the titanium content extracted from the raw material is very low, and the consumption of the reducing agent magnesium is very large; if the furnace temperature is higher than 1300°C, due to the interaction between titanium dioxide and magnesium, a large amount of low-valent titanium oxides (TiO, Ti2O3, etc.) will be formed, which will also result in a very low titanium content extracted from the raw material and a large consumption of the reducing agent magnesium.
[0036] In order to melt the titanium-iron alloy generated by the reaction, the present invention sets the vibration frequency of the furnace charge in the furnace to 10-200 Hz and the oscillation amplitude to 0.1-10 mm. The furnace charge in the furnace is vibrated reasonably to move the product iron-titanium alloy out of the reaction zone of reaction (1), which is conducive to the continuous generation of products and accelerates the reaction speed.
[0037] The present invention uses dielectric separation to separate the ferro-titanium alloy FeTi70 and the slag MgO2. In the temperature range of 1085-1300°C, the ferro-titanium alloy FeTi70 is liquid and the slag MgO2 is solid. During the reaction process, the product and the slag are not completely separated. Therefore, after the reaction furnace is cooled, the present invention crushes the product and separates FeTi70 from MgO2 by dielectric separation. The method is based on the difference in dielectric constants between the ferro-titanium alloy and the slag, and has a good separation effect.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 The present invention also provides a dielectric separation device for separating the mixture of ferrotitanium FeTi70 and slag MgO2 according to the characteristics of the mixture, comprising a box, a first electrode, a second electrode, a third electrode, a fourth electrode, a first receiver, two second receivers, and a dielectric liquid, wherein a feed port is provided on the top of the box, and the box contains dielectric liquid; the first electrode, the second electrode, the third electrode, and the fourth electrode are sequentially arranged in the box and immersed in the dielectric liquid, a ferrotitanium FeTi70 channel is formed between the second electrode and the third electrode, and slag MgO2 channels are respectively formed between the first electrode and the second electrode, and between the third electrode and the fourth electrode; the first electrode, the second electrode, the third electrode, and the fourth electrode are all electrode wires, the minimum distance between the second electrode and the third electrode is 10-14 mm, and the distance between the first electrode wire and the fourth electrode wire is 20-30 mm. The first receiver and the second receiver are both arranged at the bottom of the box, the first receiver is located below the titanium-iron alloy FeTi70 channel; the two second receivers are respectively located below the two slag MgO2 channels. The device can achieve the best separation effect, so that the purity of the titanium-iron alloy FeTi70 obtained can be significantly improved.
