Abstract:
Anatase TiO2 nanoparticles are synthesized with Ti(SO4)2 as titanium source and stronger ammonia water as precipitant using the hydrothernal method.The samples are characterized by XRD,SEM and TEM.The results showed that the change of size of anatase TiO2 particles is not obvious with increase of the reaction time when stronger ammonia water is not joined Ti(SO4)2 solution.Anatase TiO2 particles become small markedly under the same conditions when stronger ammonia water is joined Ti(SO4)2 solution.Anatase TiO2 particles of about 20 nm are obtained with pH=9.0 at 240℃for 48.0 h by the hydrothernal method.The samples are characterized with UV-VIS.The decrease of TiO2 particles is propitious to the blue shift of the absorption peak of TiO2.

Abstract:
Solvent extraction of titanium by N1923-isopentanol from chloride media of different concentration was investigated.The effects of the concentration of HCl,pre-acidification,the concentration of isopentanol,the reaction temperature,the reaction time,O/A and the diluent were studied.It is showed that the percentage of extraction of titanium by N1923 increases steadily with increasing the concentration of HCl up to 8 mol/L,however increases sharply when the concentration of HCl is more than 8 mol/L.The percentage extraction of titanium by N1923-isopentanol is more than 90% with synergistic extraction.But it is poor for the separation of titanium and iron.

2011, 32(2): 20-24.
Abstract(16) PDF(1)
Abstract:
The microstructure and content of f-CaO in slow cooling slag,gas quenching slag and hot closed treatment slag have been investigated through SEM and chemical analysis.The dispersed f-CaO in steel slag was mainly formed during the process of primary crystallization of C2S and C3S,formation of RO phase and decomposition of C3S.Generally speaking,the quantity of dispersed f-CaO with smaller grain size was large,and its distribution was widely.The typical microstructure of f-CaO in slow cooling slag was gray spherical,thin film or strip shape.Dispersed f-CaO in gas quenching slag was gray thin film and strip shape,while which in hot closed treatment slag was strip shape.Cooling intension has significant influence on f-CaO content in steel slag.The f-CaO content in slow cooling slag undergone lower cooling intension was the highest and was 6.96%.The f-CaO content in hot closed treatment slag with higher cooling intension and hydrolysis was only 0.55%.While the f-CaO content in gas quenching slag was 2.28%.The f-CaO content in gas quenching steel slag decreased with the decline of particle size.Consequently,the comprehensive utilization of gas quenching steel slag could be improved through declining particle size of the solid slag.

Abstract(26) PDF(1)
Abstract:
The heat transfer characteristics of No.1 molten-salt chlorinator of Jinzhou Titanium Co.,Ltd.was analyzed,and a finite element model of steady temperature field of molten-salt chlorinator with ANSYS software was established.The results showed molten-salt chlorinator shell temperature was at 30~50℃,the maximum temperature of molten salt reached to 747℃,and these were similar to field measured data.The heat flux and temperature gradient of molten-salt chlorinator proved that the effect of wall on steady temperature field was very limited,and spraying slurry containing titanium tetrachloride was the biggest factor.So some measures to solve the problem of high temperature molten salt were put forward.

Abstract(30) PDF(2)
Abstract:
In the present work,effects of soft blowing with argon after RH treatment on inclusion properties for pipeline steel X80 were investigated.The results showed that the total oxygen content could be significantly reduced after 25 minutes' blowing.The inclusions of above 6 μm in size were almost completely removed after 25 minutes of soft blowing.The number of inclusions of 1~5 μm in size could be obviously reduced with the increase of the time of soft blowing.However,CaS type inclusions would increase with the decrease of temperature of molten steel during the soft blowing,which was bad for casting.Considering the results of the decrease of inclusion magnitude and the effects on the temperature of the molten steel,the best of soft blowing time was 20~25 minutes.
