The invention discloses a method for
smelting vanadium-rich
pig iron by using high-
calcium vanadium-containing steel
slag, and belongs to the technical field of application of
metallurgical slag. According to the method, the
vanadium-containing steel
slag and
magnetite (or vanadium-containing
magnetite) are used as raw materials, a proper amount of
solvent is added, and submerged arc
smelting is carried out in a short furnace body submerged arc furnace. The method can utilize a low-grade carbonaceous
reducing agent, wherein the carbonaceous
reducing agent with the particle size of less than 20mm is used as a
reducing agent, the carbonaceous reducing agent with the particle size of 20mm-80mm is used for forming a
residual carbon layer in an arc
combustion region. According to the electric furnace capacity, timing iron
discharge and
slag discharge, the furnace slag and molten iron are separated, and after the molten iron is cooled to obtain the vanadium-rich
pig iron. The high-
calcium vanadium-containing steel slag is residual slag of vanadium -containing molten iron after
smelting by a converter. According to the method, 90% of vanadium in the vanadium-containing steel slag can be enriched in the
pig iron to obtain the vanadium-enriched pig iron, the steel slag is well recycled, the production process is simple, the
operability is high, the production cost is low, and the methodcan be conveniently expanded in industrial production.
