钛磁铁矿和钛铁矿冶炼渣的相平衡研究

摘要: 高炉冶炼含钛铁矿时,因强还原条件和高温会形成高熔点Ti(C,N),导致炉渣和铁水粘度增加,使高炉操作难以顺利进行。必须掺杂高品位铁矿稀释原料中的氧化钛,使高炉渣所含的20wt%~30 wt% TiO2难以回收,造成资源浪费。HIsmelt是近年来开发的绿色炼铁新工艺,不需要焦炭和烧结矿。HIsmelt工艺中炉内的氧分压高于高炉中的分压,温度显著低于高炉风口,因此避免了Ti(C,N)的形成。HIsmelt炉的水冷内壁会造成大量热损失,增加能耗,而且有炉衬烧穿的潜在风险。在HIsmelt工艺中以CaO为助剂熔炼富含TiO2的铁矿会产生Al2O3–MgO–SiO2–CaO–TiO2渣。利用高温平衡、冷淬和电子探针显微分析技术研究了该渣系的相平衡,探讨了处理钛磁铁矿以及钛磁铁矿和钛铁矿混合矿的过程中渣液相温度与助剂添加量的关系。在所研究的组成范围内观察到的初晶相有板钛矿M3O5(MgO·2TiO2–Al2O3·TiO2)、尖晶石(MgO·Al2O3)、钙钛矿CaTiO3和金红石TiO2。结果表明,在TiO2和M3O5相区中,渣液相温度随着CaO含量的增加而降低,而在尖晶石和CaTiO3初晶相区的液相温度则随CaO含量的增加而升高。通过控制渣液相温度可以在炉子内壁上形成保护渣层,减少热损失,降低内衬耐火材料消耗。此外,讨论了炉渣碱度对炉渣液相线温度的影响,发现冶炼钛磁铁矿和钛铁矿的混合矿可以获得低硫铁水和高TiO2炉渣,具有显著的成本和资源优势。最后,将实验测定的液相温度和固溶体成分与FactSage计算结果进行了比较,指出目前含钛热力学数据库的局限性和改进方向。

 

Phase equilibrium studies of titanomagnetite and ilmenite smelting slags

Abstract: The phase equilibrium information of slag plays an important role in pyrometallurgical processes to obtain optimum fluxing conditions and operating temperatures. The smelting reduction of titanomagnetite and ilmenite ores in an iron blast furnace (BF) can form Ti(C,N) particles, causing the increased viscosities of slag and hot metal. HIsmelt has been developed in recent years for ironmaking and does not need coke and sinter. The formation of Ti(C,N) in the HIsmelt process is avoided because the oxygen partial pressure in the process is higher than that in the BF. The smelting of TiO2-containing ores in the HIsmelt process results in Al2O3–MgO–SiO2–CaO–TiO2 slag. Phase equilibrium in this slag system has been investigated using equilibration, quenching, and electron probe microanalysis techniques. The experimental results were presented in two pseudo-binary sections, which represent the process of HIsmelt for the treatment of 100% titanomagnetite ore and mixed titanomagnetite+ilmenite ore (mass ratio of 2:1), respectively. The primary phases observed in the composition range investigated include pseudo-brookite M3O5 (MgO·2TiO2–Al2O3·TiO2), spinel (MgO·Al2O3), perovskite CaTiO3, and rutile TiO2. The results show that the liquidus temperatures decrease in the TiO2 and M3O5 primary phase fields and increase in the spinel and CaTiO3 primary phase fields with the increase in CaO concentration. The calculation of solid-phase fractions from the experimental data has been demonstrated. The effect of basicity on the liquidus temperatures of the slag has been discussed. The smelting of titanomagnetite plus ilmenite ores has significant advantages to obtain low-sulfur hot metal and high-TiO2 slag. Experimentally determined liquidus temperatures were compared with the FactSage predictions to evaluate the existing thermodynamic databases.
