Abstract:
The factors respectively influencing the single and cyclic roasting of vanadium slag during the novel calcification process for vanadium extraction were studied,and the thermodynamics and kinetics were also analyzed.The results show that the morphology of clinker by single calcination with lump and sphere shape is different from that of the cyclic roasting slag having a loose structure.The conversion rate reaches above 90% at the cycle ratio of 0.50 for clinker cycle roasting,and it is 16.20 % for tailing cycle roasting.The conversion rate of single clinker roasting is 82.38 %,indicating that the single roasting is incomplete.The roasting of mixture for tailing and clinker could significantly increase the conversion rate,and the conversion rate is 89.55 % at R2/R1=0.67(tailing cycle ratio).The CaO/V2O5 ratio for single roasting is 0.6~0.8,while the CaO/V2O5 for cyclic roasting is 0.40 and the residual calcium can be reused.The conversion rate of 4 h is about 85% for the single roasting and 88%~92% for the cyclic roasting.The cyclic roasting temperature is 30 ℃ lower than that of the single roasting,while the conversion rate for cyclic roasting is 5.54~7.18 percent points higher than that of single roasting.The equilibrium constant K at 870 ℃ is 35.17 and 132.44 for single and cycle roasting,respectively.ΔG for single and cycle roasting is respectively-33.84 kJ/mol and-46.48 kJ/mol.ΔS is-0.220 9 kJ/mol and-0.198 1 kJ/mol for single and cycle roasting,respectively.ΔH for single and cycle roasting is 216.88 kJ/mol and 183.92 kJ/mol,respectively.The single and cycle roasting of vanadium slag are both controlled by a zero-grade chemical reaction,with 37.36 kJ/mol and 30.65 kJ/mol of the activation energy E,and 7.32×1013 min-1 and 3.11×1013 min-1 of the pre-exponential factor A,respectively for the single and cycle roasting.

Abstract:
In this article,bismuth vanadate(BiVO4)was hydrothermally synthesized respectively using sodium vanadate produced by sub-molten salt process from vanadium slag and bismuth nitrate pentahydrate(Bi(NO33·5H2O)as raw materials.The optimal synthesis conditions for bismuth vanadate pigments were determined at the precursor solution pH of 7,nBi/nV of 1,reaction temperature higher than 100 ℃ and reaction time more than 6 h.The chromaticity and oil absorption of the prepared monoclinic BiVO4 satisfied the standard requirements,respectively.The experimental results show that bismuth vanadate with qualified chromaticity and oil absorption can also be obtained from sodium orthovanadate,sodium metavanadate or ammonium metavanadate under the same reaction conditions.Therefore,bismuth vanadate can be prepared from sodium vanadate with lower cost,which greatly improves the economy of the product.

2018, 39(6): 34-40. doi: 10.7513/j.issn.1004-7638.2018.06.005
Abstract(25) PDF(3)
Abstract:
Combined with the experimental analyses and numerical simulation,the factors influencing the scarring were analyzed based on the current situation of scarring in an oxidation reactor for chloride process titanium dioxide.The results show that the high temperature gas tends to adhere on the cold wall of gap before TiCl4 feeding,causing scabbing of the oxidation reactor.The ways to prevent scabbing before feeding gap include the enhancement of wall temperature of the reactor and decrease of the gas liquefaction.The fluidization state of mixed fluids is affected by the structure of the oxidation reactor.Increasing the width of feeding gap and optimizing the momentum ratio of TiCl4 and O2 can effectively prevent and decrease the scabbing after the feeding gap.The scabbing reduces the inner diameter of the reactor and increases the system pressure dramatically,which leads to shutdown of the furnace and shortens the operation cycle.

Abstract(44) PDF(3)
Abstract:
The influence of several kinds of typical organic treatment agents on the thermal stability of titanium dioxide was investigated.The results exhibited that the thermal stability followed the order:polysiloxane> 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane>trimethylolpropane>octyltriethoxysilane>triethanolamine.The mechanism about the effect of molecular structure of organic treatment agents on the thermal stability of titanium dioxide was studied through thermal gravimetric(TG) analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) characterization.The results showed that both the decomposition temperature and decomposition mode exerted great influence on the thermal stability of titanium dioxide.Silane coupling agents could form silicon dioxide under heating condition,and formed a coating layer on the surface of titanium dioxide,which improved the thermal stability to a certain extent.But the long carbon chain in the coupling agent would reduce the thermal stability.Organic amine could be doped into titanium dioxide upon heating,which deteriorated the thermal stability of titanium dioxide.The decomposition temperature of polysiloxanes was high due to the Si-O-Si backbone with high bond energy,thus their thermal stability was the best among the common organic treatment agents.They still showed good yellowing resistance at 350 ℃.

Abstract(13) PDF(1)
Abstract:
TiO2 in the waste SCR catalysts was reduced by aluminum, and the SiO2-TiO2-CaO-Al2O3-CaF2-Na2O slag system was selected. As the reduction process progresses, TiO2 in the slag gradually decreases and Al2O3 gradually increases. The product titanium can transfer into the iron liquid to form the iron-titanium alloy, which can realize titanium recovery from the waste SCR catalysts. Calculated by the thermodynamic software Factsage 7.1 Equilb module, the slag compositions after completion of the reaction were 3% of SiO2, 15% of CaO, 44% of CaF2, 2% of Na2O and 35% of Al2O3, with 2.5% of titanium content in the steel. In the phase diagram, the A, B, C, and D points were selected on the path of composition change. The viscosity of the slag in the reduction process was calculated by the viscosity module of Factsage 7.1. It is concluded that the slag viscosity is less than 0.03 Pa·s during the reduction process, indicating well liquidity. According to the experiment and analyses, the titanium content in the steel reached 1.67%, 67% of the calculated value. A large amount of TiO2 in the slag was reduced into the steel, and the direct alloying of titanium from the waste SCR catalysts can be basically achieved.

Abstract:
Calcium ferrite as binder phase of high basicity sinter has greatinfluence in the metallurgical properties of sinter. In this paper the influence of MgO and Al2O3 on the formation process was studied. According to the precious study on calcium ferrite, different amounts of MgO and Al2O3 were added to the fixed ratio raw materials of CaO and Fe2O3·X ray diffraction analysis and metallographic microscope was carried out after sintering, to analyze the effects of MgO and Al2O3 on the formation of calcium ferrite. When MgO is n the range of 0.5%~2.5%, with the increasing of MgO content, calcium ferrite first increases and then decreases, and reaches the maximum when MgO is between 1.5%~2.0%. When the content of MgO is 2.0%, the ore pahse structure is ideal. Al2O3 can promote the solid solution of Fe2O3 in calcium ferrite and the formation of liquid phase in two calcium ferrite, so as to promote the transformation of calcium ferrite into silico-ferrite of calcium and aluminum.

Abstract:
In order to clarify the influence of TiO2-containing slag on the corrosion of refractories used in blast furnace hearth, the corrosion behavior of blast furnace hearth refractories such as carbon composite brick and corundum brick in CaO-SiO2-MgO-Al2O3-Cr2O3-TiO2 slag was investigated by using finger rotation method. The experimental result indicated that the comprehensive effects of slag penetration, the components of the carbon composite brick dissolution and slag-brick interaction eventually resulted in the corrosion of carbon composite brick. The corrosion of corundum brick was mainly due to the infiltration of slag and the dissolution of brick. According to the XRD results, the surface products of the carbon composite brick after corrosion were C, Al2O3, melilite, spinel, calcium-aluminate, Cr7C3 and TiC. The surface compositions of the corroded corundum brick were Al2O3, SiC, spinel, melilite and TiC. Compared with the corrosion behavior of carbon composite brick and corundum brick in slag containing TiO2, due to the existence of C and SiC in carbon composite brick, the slag corrosion resistance of the carbon composite brick was better than that of corundum brick.

Abstract:
In order to solve the problem of large amount of inclusions in ultra-low carbon steel,these measurement such as optimizing the modifier composition,controlling the temperature of RH inlet temperature,adjusting the time interval between adding Al to deoxidize and alloying,and optimizing composition of the slag had been utilized.It was found out that by adjusting the ratio of small particles of lime and aluminum slag,total iron content decreased from 29.5% to 10.9% after the modification.At a reasonable temperature of inlet molten steel the inclusion due to the blowing oxygen during RH process can directly reduced.In RH smelting,when Al and Ti are added without time interval,a large amount of Al-Ti composite inclusions will generate in the molten steel,which will lead to the blockage of the nozzle. Controlling the interval time between adding Al and add Ti alloy more than 150 s can effectively reduce the frequency of nozzle clogging.The percentage of cold rolling inclusion defects had been decreased from 0.33% to 0.15%.

Abstract:
Effects of Ti-oxide metallurgy and TMCP process on the matrix mechanical properties and high heat input welding property of Q345 grade steel plate were studied under industrial conditions.Microstructures and inclusion characteristics were analyzed by OM,SEM and EPMA.High heat input welding simulation and EGW experiments were carried out.Results indicated that the industrially produced steel plates obtained good matrix mechanical properties and high heat input welding property.Fine-sized inclusions containing Ti,Ca and Mg were distributed uniformly in steel,which promoted the formation of acicular ferrite structure in CGHAZ effectively.Impact toughness of the weld joint under 200 kJ/cm was improved significantly.

Abstract:
Ni-Mo-C alloy electrode material was prepared on pure copper by electroplating.Linear sweep voltammetry(LSV),cyclic voltammetry curve(CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) were used to investigate reaction mechanism of hydrogen evolution in 1 mol/L NaOH solution.The results show that hydrogen evolution reaction(HER) is a two-step reaction including adsorption and desorption of Hads and HER is irreversible and controlled by the rate of the mass transfer.Carbon can inhibit the adsorption of Hads,enhance desorption property of electrode for Hads and improve the HER property.Mo has hydrogen desorption synergistic effect with Ni when potential is high,which will enhance the property of HER.

Abstract:
In this paper,GH4169 alloy was treated by three different heat treatment processes.The microstructure and mechanical properties of GH4169 superalloy under three different heat treatment processes were observed and studied by OM,SEM,the micro-hardness and impact test.The results show that different heat treatment process lead to different precipitation and distribution of δ phase in GH4169 superalloy.δ phase is short rod like or granular precipitates at grain boundaries after HST treatment,while δ phase can be obtained in the grain boundary and crystal after ST treatment.For DA treatment the grain boundary is smooth and no δ phase precipitation can be observed.After HST and ST treatment,the hardness of GH4169 superalloy did not change,the impact strength obviously increased and the fracture mode was transgranular fracture.After DA treatment,the hardness of GH4169 superalloy decreases down to 60% of as-hot rolled,but the impact strength increased by 4.5 times and the fracture mode showes interguanular fracture.
