Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of converter smelting technology, and more specifically to a low-vanadium molten iron converter vanadium extraction smelting process. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the steel market has remained sluggish, putting immense pressure on enterprises. A certain steel plant, leveraging its proximity to the Panzhihua vanadium-titanium magnetite mining area, implemented a process in its blast furnace smelting to replace some ordinary ore and imported ore with vanadium-titanium magnetite, thus reducing iron costs. However, the vanadium-grade vanadium magnetite used had a low vanadium content, resulting in vanadium slag. Vanadium slag with a vanadium content >8% can be considered commercial vanadium slag. Blast furnace molten iron contains 0.12-0.25% vanadium. Vanadium slag is extracted using the converter vanadium extraction process common in the industry. With a vanadium content of 5-9%, the vanadium slag grade is low and does not meet the requirements for commercial vanadium slag, which increases the manufacturing cost of the steelmaking process. If the low-vanadium molten iron is directly used for steelmaking in the converter without removing vanadium, it will waste vanadium resources. Moreover, the high [V] and [Ti] content of low-vanadium molten iron makes direct steelmaking unfavorable for converter furnace maintenance.

[0003] In domestic converter vanadium extraction processes, the molten iron has a V content ≥ 0.25%. During the vanadium extraction process, iron-containing coolants are added for cooling, such as washed iron, iron pellets, fine-grained iron, ore pellets, and waste vanadium slag. The coolant TFe content is ≤ 65%, and the remaining 35% of impurities inevitably enter the vanadium slag, diluting its grade. When the molten iron Si+Ti content is < 0.35%, siliceous slag conditioners need to be added to adjust the slag state and improve vanadium yield. When the molten iron Si+Ti content is ≥ 0.35%, carbonaceous slag agglomerators need to be added to adjust the slag state, both increasing vanadium extraction costs and diluting the vanadium slag grade.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, our invention team proposes a low-vanadium molten iron converter vanadium extraction smelting process that eliminates the need for slag conditioners, thereby improving the vanadium slag extraction efficiency of low-vanadium molten iron vanadium extraction smelting. content. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a low-vanadium molten iron converter vanadium extraction smelting process.

[0006] A vanadium extraction process for low-vanadium molten iron in a converter includes the following steps: S10, Low-vanadium molten iron KR desulfurization and slag removal, wherein the vanadium content of the low-vanadium molten iron is 0.12~0.25%, and slag removal is controlled according to a mirror surface ≥80%. If the molten iron S≤0.030%, only slag removal is performed without desulfurization. If the molten iron S>0.030%, desulfurization is performed. S20, low-vanadium molten iron is smelted by adding pig iron to extract vanadium. Molten iron is added first, followed by pig iron. To avoid the pig iron from piling up and affecting melting, the converter is rocked backward to 330° before returning to zero for vanadium extraction and oxygen supply smelting. The purpose of rocking the converter backward is to prevent the pig iron from piling up and affecting rapid melting. S30, Vanadium slag is produced. Vanadium slag is produced once every 2 to 5 heats. Half of the molten steel must be completely removed in each heat when vanadium slag is produced.

[0007] Further, in step S10, the desulfurization and slag removal of low-vanadium molten iron (KR), specifically, if the molten iron volume is 85-90t and the sulfur content (S) is >0.030%, desulfurization is performed. Slag removal is controlled to achieve a mirror finish ≥80%. The desulfurization aims for S <0.020%, and desulfurizing agent is added at a rate of 0.10 kg / t of iron per 0.001% S. The main component of the desulfurizing agent is CaO: 86%. 10%.

[0008] Preferably, step S10, low-vanadium molten iron KR desulfurization and slag removal, specifically involves: molten iron volume of 85-90t; if molten iron S > 0.030%, desulfurization is performed; slag removal is controlled to achieve a mirror finish ≥ 90%; the desulfurization target is S 0.020%, and desulfurizing agent is added based on a consumption of 0.15 kg / t of iron per 0.001% S. KR slag removal removes the iron slag before vanadium extraction from the molten iron; this portion of iron slag contains... ≤2%, carried into the converter to dilute vanadium slag The grade is approximately 1.0%.

[0009] Further, in step S20, the vanadium extraction smelting of low-vanadium molten iron with pig iron, the molten iron is added first, followed by pig iron. The converter is then rocked back to 330°C before returning to zero for vanadium extraction and oxygen supply smelting. If the Si+Ti content of the molten iron is less than 0.35%, then 7-12 tons of pig iron with Si ≥ 0.30% is added. The vanadium extraction furnace uses a three-hole oxygen lance with a high-low-low lance position, and the oxygen supply intensity for vanadium extraction is 1.8-2.8. / t.min, the oxygen supply gun positions are 1.6m for smelting 0-2 minutes, 1.3m for smelting 2-3.5 minutes, and 1.0m for 3.5 minutes to the end point.

[0010] Preferably, in step S20, the vanadium extraction smelting of low-vanadium molten iron with pig iron is specifically carried out by adding 9t of high-silicon pig iron with Si ≥ 0.30% if the Si + Ti content of the molten iron is less than 0.35%.

[0011] Further, step S20, the vanadium extraction smelting of low-vanadium molten iron with pig iron, specifically involves first adding molten iron, then adding pig iron, and then rotating the converter to 330°C before returning it to zero for vanadium extraction and oxygen supply smelting. If the Si+Ti content of the molten iron is 0.35-0.60%, then 10-15 tons of pig iron with Si < 0.30% is added. The vanadium extraction furnace uses a three-hole nozzle oxygen lance, with a high-low-low lance position, and the oxygen supply intensity for vanadium extraction is 1.8-2.8. / t.min, the oxygen supply gun positions are 1.6m for smelting 0-2 minutes, 1.2m for smelting 2-3.5 minutes, and 0.9m for 3.5 minutes to the end point.

[0012] Preferably, in step S20, the vanadium extraction smelting of low-vanadium molten iron by adding pig iron specifically involves adding 11t of pig iron with Si < 0.30% if the Si + Ti content of the molten iron is 0.35-0.60%.

[0013] Furthermore, in step S20, the vanadium extraction smelting of low-vanadium molten iron with pig iron, specifically involves the following: no cooling material or slag conditioner is added during the vanadium extraction smelting process; the oxygen supply time is 4-6 minutes; and the endpoint of vanadium extraction is observed when the flame at the converter mouth changes from dark red to bright. The endpoint control parameters are: target temperature 1350-1420℃, endpoint C: 3.0~3.8%, V: 0.006-0.035%, vanadium oxidation rate ≥80%, and average vanadium oxidation rate 87%.

[0014] Furthermore, in step S30, vanadium slag is discharged. Specifically, the amount of pig iron added is adjusted to 7-12t for each vanadium slag discharge furnace, and the final temperature is controlled at a target of 1365-1420℃ to ensure complete melting of pig iron, a relatively thick vanadium slag, and complete discharge of vanadium slag.

[0015] Preferably, step S30, which involves discharging vanadium slag, specifically involves adjusting the amount of pig iron added in each vanadium slag discharge furnace to 7-12t, controlling the final temperature to a target of 1380℃, ensuring complete melting of the pig iron, a relatively thick vanadium slag consistency, and thorough discharge of the vanadium slag.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. The entire cooling process utilizes pig iron, which contains ≥94% Fe, resulting in fewer non-metallic inclusions. Pig iron has a low melting temperature, beginning to melt at temperatures above 1200℃. Furthermore, the solid-state and hot-state heat capacities of pig iron are almost identical to those of steel. By carefully controlling the carbon-vanadium transformation reaction time in the molten pool, the carbon oxidation reaction rate is reduced. This cooling effect is superior to that of iron oxide balls, vanadium slag, and scrap steel. On average, the cooling effect of vanadium slag is significantly lower. Grade content ≥11%.

[0017] 2. The slag content of molten iron is 0.5%, which is added to the vanadium extraction furnace to reduce vanadium slag. With a content of approximately 1.0%, the low-grade iron slag in the iron ladle is removed using a KR desulfurization station, improving the vanadium extraction efficiency. content.

[0018] 3. Calculate the heat balance of various cooling materials and the dilution of vanadium slag grade by impurities. The optimal pig iron content (Fe ≥ 94%) and remaining elemental components (< 6%) minimizes the harm to vanadium slag grade dilution. The low melting point of pig iron (1168℃) facilitates rapid melting and cooling. Furthermore, based on the Si+Ti content of low-vanadium molten iron, a combination of high and low Si pig iron is used for vanadium extraction, eliminating the need for slag conditioners, resulting in good vanadium slag condition at the end. This demonstrates that adding all pig iron after mixing balances the heat, and adding pig iron with different Si contents based on the Si+Ti content of the molten iron, avoids the introduction of impurities by coolants and slag conditioners, thus diluting the vanadium slag grade. This process achieves vanadium slag extraction from low-vanadium molten iron. The content can reach 13.85%, achieving good economic benefits. Detailed Implementation
