  • Experimental Study on Reduction of Stainless Steel-making Slag with CO and H_2 at Intermediate-low Temperatures and Its Magnetic Separation
    The Chinese Journal of Process Engineering, 2013
    Co-Authors: Hong Xin
    Abstract:

    Pre-reduction of stainless steel-making slag was studied in a newly designed moving bed reactor with inclined tube and intermittent vibrators. The mixed gas of H2 and CO was used to simulate the exhaust gas produced and reformed in Iron Bath end reduction furnace to explore the possibility of preliminary separation of useful metals from stainless steel slag at intermediate and low temperatures by solid state reduction magnetic separation. And the toxicity leaching experiment of stainless steel slag after treatment was carried out. The results show that higher productivity of magnetic product (10.53%), total Iron grade (49.33%) and recovery rate of Fe (98.2%) can be obtained under the conditions of magnetic field strength at 200 mT, vibration intermittent 1:2, temperature 700~750℃ and CO/H2 volume ratio 1:4. The total amount of oxide impurities in the magnetic material after the treatment, such as CaO, MgO, Al2O3 , SiO2 , decreases significantly, from 80% to below 40%. And the tailings can meet the national emission standards.

  • Experimental investigation on the optimal carbon/hydrogen ratio for developing an Iron Bath reactor with H 2 -C mixture reduction-II
    Revue de Métallurgie, 2012
    Co-Authors: Guo Jie, Zhang Huaiwei, Mao Jiajun, Li Qiuju, Wang Dongyan, Hong Xin
    Abstract:

    The basic idea of H 2 -C mixture reduction reflects the advantages of hydrogen for fast reaction and low heat absorption in a smelting reduction reactor where hydrogen is used as the main reducing agent and carbon as the main heat generator on purpose to cut down the total energy consumption and CO 2 emission. This work aimed at the experimental investigation of the optimal carbon/hydrogen ratio, a key parameter of Iron oxide reduction with mixture reductive agents of carbon and hydrogen. Experiments were carried out using a pure Al 2 O 3 crucible which was placed in a tubular furnace for high temperature. Two investigation methods were adopted: one was injecting an acetylene/hydrogen mixture reducing gas into molten Iron oxides, and the other was blowing hydrogen into an Iron Bath during continuous feeding of fine ore mixing solid carbon. Parameters such as the apparent de-oxidation rate and utilization ratio of reductive agents were calculated from content analysis of the exhaust gas after dust removal and drying. In the experiments the highest total de-oxidation rate and satisfactory apparent utilization ratio of hydrogen were obtained under conditions with temperatures of 1823 K and the carbon/hydrogen ratio in the region of 0.5:1 to 1:1.

    Nonferrous Metals, 2011
    Co-Authors: Hong Xin
    Abstract:

    The effects of reaction temperature,slag basicity,Al2O3 content and initial Cr content in Bath on allotment behavior of chromite between Iron melt and molten slag were studied through orthogonal experiments for melting reduction of stainless slag.The experiments were carried out in a furnace with graphite crucible employing carbon saturated dissolved in liquid Iron as a reducing agent.The results showed that slag basicity was the primary factor for chromium reduction,which was followed by Al2O3 content in slag,initial Cr content in Iron Bath and reaction temperature.Besides,Pattern-Recognition-Method was applied for classification analog and optimization of the experimental samples,from which better reduction parameters of chromium oxide in slag was obtained.

    Abstract:

    According to the comprehensive utilization of 300 series and 400 series stainless steel dust (SSD), and the dephosphorization of the reclaimed Cr-Ni contained hot metal, an experimental method of smelting reduction in Iron-Bath and oxidational dephosphorization was studied. The result shows: The yield rate of Cr in 300 SSD and 400 SSD is 98.13% and 98.39% respectively, the yield rate of Ni is almost 100%; During the dephosphorization, through the BaO and CaO-BaO based dephosphorizer has a higher Dephosphorization rate, it can bring pollution problems and the cost is too high, however, under some circumstance when the requirement of phosphorus content is not critical, the CaO based dephosphorizer can also achieved the dephosphorization goal.

  • 6th International Symposium on High-Temperature Metallurgical Processing - Experimental Investigation on Reduction Kinetics of Stainless Steel‐Making Slag in Iron Bath Smelting Reduction
    Advanced Materials Research, 2013
    Co-Authors: Bo Zhang, Jienan Liu, Yanfeng Yang, Luming Liu, Jiechao Liu, Lijian Luo, Xin Hong
    Abstract:

    Reduction kinetics of stainless steel slag in Iron Bath smelting reduction was studied at the temperature of 1500°C ∼ 1650°C. It was concluded that the reduction process consisted of two parts. That is to say smelting reduction was controlled by stainless steel slag melting initially and by interface reaction later. In order to increase smelting reaction rate, the melting point of slag should be decreased at the first stage and adjust the liquidity of slag at later stage. Smelting reaction rate will be accelerated by means of optimize the slag content. The optimal reduction result that all most all of the chromium in slag been recovered was obtained in temperature was 1500°C, basicity of slag was 1.0∼1.2, the value of Al2O3+MgO was 25%.

  • modelling on melting of sponge Iron particles in Iron Bath
    Steel Research, 1996
    Co-Authors: Liuyi Zhang
    Abstract:

    In this work the melting process of sponge Iron particles in Iron-Bath is mathematically modelled. Based on the fact that the heat conductivity of sponge Iron is much smaller than that of dense Iron, a simplified analytical solution for the system has been derived. This solution agrees very well with the exact one from numerical calculation. The melting time and melting course of sponge Iron particles are calculated. The melting time depends mostly on the particle radius. The amount of un-molten substance in the Iron-Bath at continuous feeding of sponge Iron is estimated. The results show that under smelting reduction conditions the melting runs fast and must not be the rate determining step of the whole process.

  • Distribution of heavy metals from Iron Bath‐melting separation process applied to municipal solid waste incineration fly ash
    Environmental technology, 2009
    Co-Authors: C.m. Wei, Qingcai Liu, J. Wen
    Abstract:

    Fly ash generated from municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration is frequently classified as hazardous material and requires special disposal. The management of the large amount of fly ash has caused increasing problems in China. This work describes a novel approach for melting MSW incineration fly ash, and the distribution of heavy metals was characterized during the Iron Bath-melting separation process. Four hundred grams of pelletized fly ash was fed into the furnace in molten Iron Bath atmosphere. After the melting separation process, the distribution of heavy metals in samples and the leaching characteristics of the slag were investigated. The results indicated that Iron Bath-melting promoted the transfer of Cr, Mn and Cu from the slag phase to the Iron phase, which also improved Zn and Pb volatilization. The leaching concentrations, determined by the Chinese Standard Method (rollover leaching procedure) of the target metals of the slag from leaching tests were lower than the Chinese regulatory thresholds. Therefore, this method was proposed as an envIronmentally friendly technology to achieve a satisfactory solution for MSW incineration fly ash management.
