The present invention relates to a method for preparing high-purity
iron powder, comprising the following steps: 1) adding
blast furnace molten iron subjected to three-
decarburization treatment to a converter, wherein the tapping temperature of the
molten steel at the end of blowing is higher than 1750°C and the
active oxygen content is ≥0.085%. 2) performing RH vacuum
oxygen blowing
decarburization treatment on the
molten steel in the
ladle, wherein the composition of the
molten steel after treatment is [O] ≥0.010%. 3) moving the
ladle to a VD, performing vacuum treatment, and allowing the molten steel to stand for ≥20 minutes. 4) forming an
ingot from the molten steel using a
vacuum casting method to obtain "
oxygen-enriched high-purity iron" having an
ingot composition of [Fe] + [O] ≥99.99%. 6)
casting the "
oxygen-enriched high-purity iron"
ingot into "oxygen-enriched high-purity
iron powder". 7) passing the "oxygen-enriched high-purity
iron powder" through a
hydrogen reduction furnace to remove oxygen and obtain "
hydrogen-containing high-purity iron
powder". 8) placing the "
hydrogen-containing high-purity iron
powder" in a vacuum
heating furnace for vacuum heating
dehydrogenation treatment, cooling the mixture
after treatment, and packaging the mixture to ultimately obtain high-purity iron
powder. The present invention can obtain high-purity iron powder with a purity greater than 99.99% and significantly reduce the production cost of the high-purity iron powder.
