Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of high-purity metal metallurgy technology, specifically to a method for preparing high-purity metallic vanadium with ultra-low oxygen concentration. Background Technology
[0002] Vanadium, as an important strategic non-ferrous metal, plays an irreplaceable role in fields such as radio frequency superconducting cavities, semiconductor sputtering targets, aerospace, and nuclear industries due to its characteristics such as small fast neutron capture cross-section, excellent resistance to liquid sodium corrosion, and high-temperature creep resistance. However, with the increasing demands on vanadium materials for high-end equipment and key components in the nuclear industry, oxygen, as the main interstitial impurity in vanadium, readily forms brittle oxide phases, significantly deteriorating the material's plasticity, superconductivity, and radiation resistance.
[0003] Vanadium, a rare, high-melting-point, and reactive metal, exhibits strong binding affinity to interstitial impurities, especially oxygen impurities, readily forming a structurally stable VO solid solution. Creating suitable deoxidation conditions using conventional smelting techniques alone is extremely difficult. The aluminothermic reduction method is currently the most widely used technique for preparing vanadium. It involves first preparing a vanadium-aluminum master alloy using excess aluminum, followed by electron beam refining to produce metallic vanadium. However, aluminum has limited deoxidizing capacity, resulting in a high oxygen content in the prepared vanadium-aluminum master alloy, and the electron beam refining process is ineffective at removing dissolved oxygen. Existing technologies struggle to stably prepare ultra-low oxygen vanadium with an oxygen content ≤30 ppm, severely hindering the independent development of key areas such as my country's nuclear industry and radio frequency superconductivity. Therefore, developing a stable, ultra-low oxygen high-purity vanadium preparation technology capable of deep removal of dissolved oxygen is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Purpose of the invention: To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for preparing high-purity metallic vanadium with ultra-low oxygen concentration.
[0005] Technical solution: This invention provides a method for preparing ultra-low oxygen metallic vanadium, comprising the following steps:
[0006] Step 1: Preparation of low-oxygen vanadium-aluminum alloy by vacuum aluminothermic reduction
[0007] Using vanadium oxide (preferably vanadium pentoxide) and aluminum powder as raw materials, aluminum oxide is added as a buffer, and aluminum-calcium alloy particles are added as a composite reducing agent and synergistic deoxidizer. The particle size of the aluminum-calcium alloy particles is 0.1~2mm, and the calcium content is 10wt%~20wt%. The mass ratio of each raw material is: vanadium oxide: aluminum powder: aluminum oxide: aluminum-calcium alloy particles = 1 :(0.5~0.7) : (0.1~0.2) : (0.02~0.04). The prepared materials are mixed in a mixer for 30min, and then dried in a drying and roasting machine at 150℃ for 5h for later use. The mixed materials are put into a vacuum reactor, evacuated to 50Pa, and argon gas is introduced to 0.05~0.07MPa. The reaction is initiated by ignition, and after cooling and removal from the furnace, a low-oxygen vanadium-aluminum alloy is obtained.
[0008] In this step, the purpose of adding aluminum-calcium alloy particles is to: utilize the strong deoxidizing properties of calcium to lower the deoxidation limit of the reaction; simultaneously, calcium reacts with aluminum oxides to form low-melting-point calcium aluminate slag, increasing slag fluidity, making slag-metal separation more thorough, and improving vanadium recovery rate. Compared to directly adding metallic calcium, calcium-aluminum alloy particles are safer and more stable, while also delaying calcium volatilization and exhibiting higher deoxidation efficiency.
[0009] Step 2, Electron beam melting and purification
[0010] The low-oxygen vanadium-aluminum alloy obtained in step one is fed into an electron beam melting furnace, and a vacuum of 10⁻²~10⁻³ Pa is applied. The melting power is 100~200kW, and the melting time is 1~2 hours. This process deeply removes metallic impurities such as aluminum, calcium, and iron, as well as some oxygen impurities, while simultaneously densifying the vanadium matrix to obtain a dense, high-purity, low-oxygen vanadium plate.
[0011] Electron beam melting can not only effectively remove metal impurities and significantly improve the matrix purity of vanadium metal, but also, the higher the purity of the vanadium matrix, the fewer the lattice defects, which is more conducive to the uniform diffusion of oxygen atoms from the interior of the vanadium metal to the surface during the subsequent calcium heat treatment stage, thus achieving a positive synergistic effect between high-purity matrix and deep deoxidation.
[0012] Step 3: Calcium embedding, low-temperature vacuum diffusion deoxygenation
[0013] Using a conventional vacuum furnace, first, a layer of calcium granules is placed at the bottom of the crucible. Then, the vanadium plate obtained in step two is placed on top of the calcium granules. Finally, another layer of calcium granules is placed on the surface of the vanadium plate to ensure that it is completely covered. The furnace is evacuated to 10⁻²~10⁻³ Pa, heated to 500~700℃, and held at that temperature for 4~8 hours. After cooling in the furnace, the deoxidized vanadium plate is obtained. The preferred amount of calcium granules added is 2%~3% of the vanadium plate's mass.
[0014] The principle behind this step is that calcium can reduce the partial pressure of oxygen in the system and form a slightly molten state at low temperatures. Due to the internal electron transitions and atomic collisions, calcium in the slightly molten state has higher chemical activity. It first reacts with the oxygen and oxide layer on the surface of the vanadium plate, reducing the oxygen concentration on its surface. This creates an oxygen concentration gradient inside the vanadium plate, promoting the migration of oxygen impurities from the inside out, and ultimately achieving deep removal of dissolved oxygen from the crystal lattice.
[0015] Step 4, Post-processing
[0016] The deoxidized vanadium plate is first acid-washed with 5%~10% dilute nitric acid for 5~15 minutes, then rinsed with tap water for 2~3 minutes, then rinsed once with deionized water, and finally vacuum-dried at 80~120℃ for 4~6 hours under vacuum conditions of ≤10Pa to obtain ultra-low oxygen high-purity metallic vanadium product.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] 1. During the aluminothermic reduction stage, a certain amount of aluminum-calcium alloy particles are added. Calcium's strong deoxidizing properties lower the deoxidation limit of the reaction, while also modifying inclusions. The generated CaO can react with Al2O3 to form low-melting-point calcium aluminate slag, increasing slag fluidity and improving slag-metal separation, thus increasing vanadium recovery. Compared to directly adding metallic calcium, calcium-aluminum alloy particles are safer and more stable, while also delaying calcium volatilization and exhibiting higher deoxidation efficiency.
[0019] 2. The electron beam melting stage can not only effectively remove metallic impurities such as aluminum, calcium, and iron, as well as some oxygen impurities, significantly improving the matrix purity of vanadium metal; at the same time, the higher the purity of the vanadium matrix, the fewer lattice defects, which is more conducive to the uniform diffusion of oxygen atoms from the interior of the vanadium metal to the surface in the subsequent calcium heat treatment stage, realizing a positive synergistic effect of high-purity matrix and deep deoxidation.
[0020] 3. In the calcium-embedded deep deoxidation stage, calcium can reduce the oxygen partial pressure in the system and will coat the vanadium plate surface in a molten state. Due to the internal electron transition and atomic collision, the calcium in the low-temperature micro-molten state has higher chemical activity. It first reacts with the oxygen and oxide layer on the surface of the vanadium plate, reducing the oxygen concentration on its surface, forming an oxygen concentration gradient inside the vanadium plate, promoting the migration of oxygen impurities from the inside to the outside, and finally achieving deep deoxidation.

[0062] Data from the examples and comparative studies show that adding Al-Ca alloy as a composite deoxidizer during the aluminothermic reduction stage is more conducive to obtaining high-grade, low-oxygen-content aluminum-vanadium alloys. Electron beam melting can effectively remove some metallic impurities, but the removal effect on oxygen impurities is generally limited. However, higher purity of the vanadium plate is more conducive to the removal of oxygen impurities in the subsequent calcium encapsulation deoxidation stage, achieving a positive synergistic effect between high-purity matrix and deep deoxidation. In the calcium particle encapsulation deoxidation stage, calcium particles at 600℃ can form a more active molten calcium that uniformly coats the surface of the vanadium plate, resulting in higher deoxidation efficiency and a stable reduction of oxygen content to below 30 ppm.
