Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a method for preparing porous microcrystalline stone from molten titanium-containing blast furnace slag, and belongs to the technical field of resource comprehensive utilization. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of economy, industrial production not only brings great economic benefits, but also produces a large amount of industrial waste. Industrial waste slag is difficult to handle due to its large output, many types, difficult flow, large composition fluctuation and other characteristics. Titanium-containing blast furnace slag is a solid waste produced in the process of smelting vanadium-titanium ore. Due to the high TiO2 content in the slag, the hydration reaction activity is significantly deteriorated and cannot be directly used for cement. The technology for recovering and utilizing titanium from the slag is not mature. Currently, Ti can only be extracted from medium and high titanium slag. However, the process generally has problems such as high energy consumption, low extraction rate and serious environmental pollution. Therefore, the titanium-containing slag is currently directly landfilled, which not only occupies a large amount of land resources and pollutes the environment, but also wastes valuable resources in the slag.

[0003] Titanium-containing blast furnace slag belongs to CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 system blast furnace slag, and its composition meets the manufacturing requirements of porous microcrystalline stone. Porous microcrystalline stone has been widely used in metallurgical, power, building material and other industrial departments, and is a new type of material with wide application. In addition, the structural strength of porous microcrystalline stone is better than that of natural stone, which can replace the use of natural stone and protect the environment.

[0004] Patent No. CN112340988A discloses a method for preparing microcrystalline glass based on TiO2 in titanium-containing blast furnace slag as a nucleating agent. However, the production process needs to remelt and cool the cold titanium-containing blast furnace slag again, and then sinter, which is complex. In the process of remelting and cooling the cold titanium-containing blast furnace slag again, the heat energy utilization rate of the molten slag is low, and energy is wasted. Patent No. CN119241078A discloses a microcrystalline cast stone and a preparation method and application thereof. The microcrystalline cast stone is prepared by mixing various waste materials with titanium-containing blast furnace slag. The mixing of other solid wastes reduces the application proportion of titanium-containing blast furnace slag. The composition of the sample is complex, and the cold titanium-containing blast furnace slag is used, which cannot utilize the heat of molten titanium-containing blast furnace slag, and the energy utilization rate of the molten slag is low.
