The invention discloses a method for preparing high-purity
chromium metal through carbon reduction, which comprises the following steps: proportioning
chromic oxide, carbon
powder,
starch and water according to a certain proportion, and carrying out primary compaction to obtain a wet blank; adding the wet blank into an
electric arc furnace, and
smelting and melting to obtain bulk carbon
chromium; after being manually and coarsely crushed, the molten and cooled large carbon
chromium blocks are sequentially fed into a jaw
crusher and a column mill to be crushed; adding
chromic oxide,
starch and water into the crushed carbon chromium, mixing, and carrying out secondary compaction to obtain a
briquette-like material; feeding the
coal-like spherical material into a
drying box, gradually heating, fully
drying a
green body, and then cooling; and after
drying, loading the blank into a vacuum reduction furnace layer by layer, and carrying out vacuum reduction on
chromium sesquioxide and carbon chromium in a four-side heating manner to obtain the high-purity
metal chromium. According to the method, preparation of high-purity
metal chromium is achieved, and the conversion rate of preparing
metal lattice powder from
chromium oxide can be greatly increased; and the content of impurities in the metal chromium is reduced.
