The invention relates to a preparation method of
ferrochrome and a
crucible applied to the method. To achieve the purpose that
ferrochrome is smelted through
microwave heating and meanwhile solve thetechnical problem that the requirement for the
crucible is relatively high in a method for
smelting the
ferrochrome through
microwave heating, the preparation method comprises the following steps thatmaterials are prepared, furnace burden comprises ferrochrome mineral
powder, a
reducing agent and an auxiliary material, and the furnace burden comprises, by weight percent, 65%-70% of the ferrochrome mineral
powder, 15%-20% of the
reducing agent and 13%-18% of the auxiliary material; secondly, ball making is carried out, wherein the material
powder of the furnace burden is mixed to be uniform according to the proportion, water is added, the furnace burden is pressed into balls, and the balls are dried; thirdly, the material balls are laid on the
crucible, the thickness does not exceed 150 mm, and then the crucible is put into a
microwave oven to be heated; and fourthly, the heated furnace burden is taken out and subjected to
water cooling, jaw crushing and
gravity separation, and ferrochrome particles are obtained. The Cr content of the high-carbon ferrochrome reduced through the method ranges from 55%-60%, the
recovery rate of the Cr ranges from 85%-92%, the indexes are equivalent to the indexes of a traditional submerged arc furnace product, the
power consumption and the
dust pollution are reduced, and the furnace burden demolding problem of microwave
metallurgy is economicallysolved.
