The present invention relates to a method for
smelting ferroniobium and enriching rare earths and
titanium, comprising: S1, providing a co-existing ore or
metallurgical slag containing
niobium,
titanium, rare earths, and iron; S2, adding a modifier and a siliceous
reducing agent, and after high-temperature
smelting and reduction, obtaining a layered
ferroniobium alloy melt and a
slag containing rare earths and
titanium; S3, controlling the temperature and cooling the
slag containing rare earths and titanium to
room temperature, so that the rare earths and titanium in the
slag are directionally precipitated and grown in a
perovskite phase; S4, crushing and
grinding the cooled slag, and obtaining a
rare earth-rich
perovskite concentrate by flotation. The present invention utilizes a siliceous
reducing agent to selectively reduce multiple
metal elements in the co-existing ore or
metallurgical slag containing rare earths,
niobium, titanium, and iron. The method selectively reduces iron oxides and
niobium oxides in the material in a high-temperature
molten state, avoiding the reduction of titanium oxides and
rare earth oxides. The method successfully smelts a
ferroniobium alloy melt, obtaining a high-grade ferroniobium
alloy melt and a high-grade
rare earth-rich
perovskite concentrate.
