Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metallurgical analysis, and in particular relates to a method for analyzing the contents of aluminum oxide, iron oxide, manganese oxide, silicon dioxide, strontium oxide and titanium dioxide in white ash. Background Art

[0002] In the iron and steel industry, quicklime plays a vital role as a raw material in the smelting process. The addition of quicklime (primarily composed of CaO) during the ironmaking process primarily serves to form slag, desulfurize, and adjust the slag pH. During the steelmaking process, quicklime neutralizes acidic impurities in the molten steel and binds them in the slag, helping to reduce the oxide content in the molten steel, thereby reducing its adverse effects and improving its quality. Due to its fine grains, high porosity, large reaction area, and unstable lattice, quicklime quickly reacts with ferrous oxide, manganese oxide, calcium fluoride, and other substances that have infiltrated the lime pores to form a low-melting-point melt, which melts into slag. This significantly shortens the melting time. The resulting slag forms a protective layer on the furnace lining, reducing wear and erosion, extending its service life, and meeting the demands of rapid steelmaking. These benefits make quicklime an indispensable auxiliary raw material in the ironmaking process.

[0003] Traditionally, chemical analysis of aluminum oxide, iron oxide, manganese oxide, silicon dioxide, strontium oxide, and titanium dioxide in lime relies on gravimetric, colorimetric, and titration methods. This process is cumbersome and lengthy, requiring multiple steps and multiple processes, and is no longer suitable for modern steel and metallurgical production.

[0004] This method allows for the simultaneous determination of aluminum oxide, iron oxide, manganese oxide, silicon dioxide, strontium oxide, and titanium dioxide using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) after a single sample processing. This significantly improves work efficiency and meets the high-quality development requirements of the company's testing sector, which previously required six independent individuals. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention provides a method for analyzing the contents of aluminum oxide, ferric oxide, manganese oxide, silicon dioxide, strontium oxide, and titanium dioxide in lime. By using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) to simultaneously determine the contents of aluminum oxide, ferric oxide, manganese oxide, silicon dioxide, strontium oxide, and titanium dioxide in lime, a working curve is drawn using standard samples of dolomite and limestone. This method improves efficiency and reduces environmental pollution compared to traditional chemical analysis methods, which are often tedious. The method is simple, rapid, and accurate.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The invention discloses a method for analyzing the contents of aluminum oxide, ferric oxide, manganese oxide, silicon dioxide, strontium oxide and titanium dioxide in white ash.

[0008] Furthermore, the white ash is mixed with a mixed flux of sodium carbonate and boric acid and then melted in a muffle furnace. The melt is extracted with hydrochloric acid, transferred to a 250 ml volumetric flask, shaken and then introduced into an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer to determine the content.

[0009] Furthermore, the lime is mixed with a mixed flux of sodium carbonate and boric acid and then melted in a muffle furnace at 950°C.

[0010] Furthermore, the weighed sample was placed in a 25 mL platinum crucible, 2.5 g of a mixed flux of sodium carbonate and boric acid was added, stirred with a glass rod, and then placed in a 950°C muffle furnace to melt for 30 minutes. The crucible was taken out and cooled, and the surface of the platinum crucible was wiped clean with filter paper and placed in a 300 mL beaker. 40 mL of hydrochloric acid was added and heated on a low-temperature hot plate until the melt was completely decomposed and the solution was transparent. After the solution was cooled, it was transferred to a 250 mL volumetric flask, diluted to the scale and shaken. The intensity was measured using an inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer, and the content of the measured component was obtained from the working curve.

[0011] Furthermore, the mass ratio of sodium carbonate to boric acid in the mixed flux is 2:1.

[0012] Furthermore, the main operating parameters of the inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer used are: high frequency: 40.68 MHZ; power: 1300 W; carrier gas flow rate: 0.8 L / min.
