Abstract Vanadium titano-magnetite generates lots of titaniferous blast furnace slags as blast furnace ironmaking raw material after smelted。 Recycling economy of titanium is undesirable。 Thus, lots of blast furnace slags are wasted。
Sodium modification feasibility of titaniferous blast furnace slag is analyzed through thermodynamic calculation。 According to the result of thermodynamic calculation, it indicates: the sodium modification reaction of titaniferous blast furnace slag is feasible under temperature of 1150℃ when the melting point of sodium carbonate is higher than 851℃。
The empirical study on sodium modification of titaniferous blast furnace slag is carried out through congruent melting of phosphorous slag。 The experimental scheme is as below: add coal dust of different contents into titaniferous blast furnace slag and solid sodium carbonate into to realize sodium modification reaction under certain temperature。 Sodium modification products mainly include sodium metaaluminate, sodium silicate, metatitanic acid, then solve the reacted eutectic slag crushing into deionized water, filter it after stirring fully to be dissolved, and then add diluted hydrochloric acid to realize acidolysis of filter residue after rinsing the filter residue for many times。 After metatitanic sodium titanate is dissolved into diluted hydrochloric acid to get solution, measure the content of titanium ion in acidolysis solution through inductive coupling plasma emission spectroscopy to further measure the content of metatitanic sodium titanate in test samples through sodium modification and calculate the sodium rate of titanium in the test samples。 According to the experimental study, it manifests that carbon can facilitate the sodium modification of titaniferous blast furnace slag。 Along with the increase of carbon content, the sodium rate of titanium blast furnace slag will be increased。 In this experiment, under the conditions of titaniferous blast furnace slag particle size d0 is 200 mesh, the reaction temperature is 1150℃ and the reaction time is 2 hours, when the carbon content reaches around 12%, the sodium rate of titaniferous blast furnace slag will reach 78% and at stable state。
