Abstract:
Low-temperature fluidized bed hydrogen metallurgy was studied by thermodynamics calculation in this paper.Traditional hydrogen metallurgy had the disadvantages of high gas consumption and low productivi- ty.The thermodynamics calculation indicates that under the condition of ore powder preheated,the consump- tions of hydrogen are 6 394 m3 and 3 189 m3,when the gas temperature drop is 100 K and 200 K respectively, while the gas consumptions are 4 367 m3 and 2 195 m3 for the part-hydrogen metallurgy(containing 30% CO).Accordingly the primary consumption of reducing gas of part-hydrogen metallurgy is less than that of the exclusive-hydrogen metallurgy.Part-hydrogen metallurgy should be developed preferentially considering our gas resource.To reduce the gas consumption,the multistage fluidized bed reactor should be applied and the ore powder should be preheated for fluidized bed hydrogen metallurgy processes.The hydrogen metallurgy process of fast reduction of fine ore at low temperature can improve the gas efficiency and the reduction speed rate remarkably.

Abstract:
Precursor of nano-TiO2 was prepared through stripping precipitation method with D2EHPA diluted by tetrachloride carbon as an extractant,and ammonia and ammonia-alcohol aqueous solution as a re-ex- tractant and precipitator.This process was optimized by controlling mass transport process on the interfaces of microemulsions.Nano-TiO2 obtained was characterized by SEM、XRD、Zeta potential devices.The result showed that catalytic performance was distinctly influenced by lowering temperature and concentration of ammo- nia aqueous,increasing concentration of ethanol auxiliary agent and varying calcinating temperature of TiO2 sample.By stripping precipitation with ammonia and ammonia-alcohol,the optimum caleinating temperatures of TiO2 were adjusted at 350℃and at 450℃respectively.The temperature and the optimum concentration of ammonia aqueous were 17.5℃and 1:5 respectively.The higher concentration of auxiliary agent was more beneficial to forming smaller and more uniform TiO2 particles.Compared with sol-gel method,directing pre- cipitation method and stripping precipitation method with ammonia,this study showed that nano-TiO2 pre- pared by stripping precipitation with ammonia-alcohol had not only a small and uniform grain,but also a high efficient photocatalytic activity,and the removal efficiency of methylene blue illuminated for 60 min with TiO2 by stripping precipitation with ammonia-alcohol was above 85 %.

Abstract(23) PDF(1)
Abstract:
A new refining desulfurizing agent with good desulphurization property but without CaF2 was synthe- sized using Panzhihua Iron and Steel Co.blast furnace(BF)slag extracted titanium as main materials and ac- tive calcium oxide as addition agent.The effects and action mechanism of CaO content on the phase composi- tions,melting performance of the slag system and the desulfurizing ratio of steel samples were investigated.At the same time,the sulphur capacity and optical basicity of slag with different content CaO were given by theo- retical calculation.The results show that active calcium oxide can not only increase violently the desulfurizing thermodynamic parameters such as sulphur capacity and optical basicity of the slag,but also can improve the melting performance.When the CaO content of the slag reaches 60 percent,the optical basicity and sulphur capacity of the slag are 0.781 and 15.8×10-3respectively,the desulphurization property of the slag is the best.The sulphur content of the steel can decrease from 42.4×10-6to 7.95×10-6,the desulphurization ra- tio and sulphur distribution coefficient are 81.2 % and 192.6 respectively.A new technology of comprehensive utilization of BF slag bearing titanium is developed through this paper.

Abstract(18) PDF(1)
Abstract:
Soft reduction technology that is known to be one of the effective ways to minimize segregation is used widely in high carbon steel continuous casting blooms.Determination of reduction parameters is very im- portant to the soft reduction technology.Based on the theoretical analysis and the product experience of some plants,it will be found that an optimum soft reduction zone is solid fraction ranged from 0.2 to 0.8 and the to- tal reduction amount ranged from 4 mm to 8 mm.Optimum application of the soft reduction process will lessen V shape segregation and the center carbon segregation of the bloom and also make a remarkable improvement in the macrostructure of it.

Abstract(24) PDF(1)
Abstract:
Based on the material condition of Chenggang sintering state,the effects of solid fuel types and ratio on sintering process and metallurgical property of agglomerate with vanadium were researched.The results show that with the white coal instead of coke powder as solid fuel,the magnetite,silicate and glassiness content in agglomerate decrease,while hematite and calcium ferrite content increase,which make cold mechanical strength and low temperature reduction degradation of agglomerate improve.High solid fuel ratio is not proper for Chenggang sintering.The optimal ratio of coke powder served as the solid fuel is about 5 %;when the white coal serves as solid fuel,the ratio is about 5.5 %~6%.In conclusion,the white coal should be used as solid fuel in Chenggang,while the optimal FeO content of agglomerate with vanadium is about 7%.
