The invention relates to the technical field of
sponge titanium production, in particular to a method for removing impurities in liquid
magnesium by
magnesium-
titanium joint production of
sponge titanium, which adopts a three-stage refining and
impurity removal process: in the first stage, a refining agent is pre-added in a liquid
magnesium ladle, liquid magnesium gravity scouring mixing is utilized for primary refining, and liquid magnesium is discharged after standing for 1-3 hours; in the second stage, in a reduction reactor preheated to 810-850 DEG C, a refining agent is pre-added for secondary refining, and standing is performed for 15-30 min; and
titanium tetrachloride is added in the third stage, titanium
fine powder is generated through magnesiothermic reduction reaction to wrap impurities and settle, and three-stage
impurity removal is completed after first-time discharging is conducted after standing. According to the method, original impurities are used as
crystal nucleuses to promote reaction
sedimentation, refining is integrated in two-man
ladle transfer and reactor pretreatment stages, independent equipment is not needed, the refining time is shortened to 1-3 h, particle and compound impurities can be effectively removed, the
chlorine content and
impurity accumulation of
sponge titanium are reduced,
distillation energy consumption is reduced, the equipment cost is saved, and the method is suitable for
inverted U-shaped and I-shaped furnaces and has good industrial application prospects. The production efficiency and the product quality are improved.
