Abstract:
Vanadium and chromium have the similar chemical properties and naturally coexist at most occasions,so the problem for separation of vanadium and chromium has not been properly solved for a long time.The solvent extraction is currently the most common method for the separation of vanadium and chromium. Traditional extraction systems for vanadium-chromium separation,including neutral complexation extraction system,ion association extraction system,acidic complexation and chelation extraction system,synergistic extraction system,were introduced.Three-liquid phase extraction system was used as an example for introducing a novel extraction system. Furthermore,the advantages and disadvantages of each extraction system were analyzed. Three-liquid phase extraction system is expected to have a broad prospect due to a high separation factor,well physical phenomena,short process flow,simple operation,low cost and flexible ratio of extractant,considering the environment protection and company benefits.

Abstract:
As an anode material of lithium ion battery,lithium titanate(Li4Ti5O12) has the advantages of stable structure,long life and high safety,and it’s getting more and more attentions in the fields of power and energy storage.However,lithium titanate has a low conductivity and poor electroconductibility prone to causing electrode polarization,which greatly limits its applications in charge-discharge at high current densities.Focusing on the above problems,we summarized the recent research trends on anode material of lithium titanate at home and abroad. It is found that the coated modification,ion doping and composite methods are hot spots for researches on improvement of electrochemical performances of lithium titanate material.At the same time,the shortcomings and defects of carbon anode material were pointed out here,further confirming the superiorities of lithium titanate.Nevertheless,the cost of lithium titanate material is much higher than that of carbon material,which is not conducive to large-scale popularization and promotion.How to reduce the cost of lithium titanate material,improve its specific energy and electrochemical properties,and achieve a widespread application in areas such as large scale energy storage systems,electric vehicles and electric tools is thus the problems that urgently need to be solved in the future.

Abstract:
Based on the properties and petrographic analysis of a refractory stone coal from Hubei province,a novel vanadium extraction process of fluidized roasting-acid leaching with additive-solvent extraction-precipitation was proposed.The effects of roasting temperature,roasting time,dosage of additives,sulfuric acid concentration,liquid to solid ratio,leaching temperature and time on leaching ratio of vanadium were given a special concern.Results show that under the optimum conditions of roasting at 750 ℃ for 20 min,leaching additive dosage of 5%,sulfuric acid concentration of 15%,liquid to solid ratio of 2 ∶ 1 and leaching at 95 ℃ for 6 h,vanadium leaching efficiency can reach 91.32%.Using N235 as extractant,more than 98% of vanadium can be separated and concentrated from the leaching solution by three stages of counter-current extraction and three stages of counter-current stripping. Ammonium metavanadate can be precipitated from the vanadium concentrated solution after impurities removal,and then vanadium pentoxide with purity of 99.75% could be obtained after thermal decomposition of metavanadate. This vanadium extraction process has advantages of short procedure,high efficiency and high purity of product,showing well adaptability to refractory stone coal.

Abstract:
Vanadium and chromium in low valence are difficult to be leached in alkaline medium.For vanadium and chromium leaching,roasting with sodium salts might emit some poisonous gas and large amount of waste water,while roasting with calcium salts will consume much more energy.H2O2 as an oxidant was applied to intensify the leaching process of vanadium-chromium residue under alkaline condition.The effect of Na OH dosage,reaction temperature,dosage of H2O2,reaction time and stirring rate on the leaching efficiency of vanadium and chromium was investigated.The results indicate that increasing reaction temperature and extending reaction time can improve the leaching efficiency of vanadium and chromium.Vanadium is more easily to be oxidized and leached out in alkaline medium,even with low dosage of oxidant.The leaching ratio of vanadium is up to 94.30% with addition of H2O2. The leaching ratio of chromium is proportionally increased with increase of H2O2 dosage.Over 90.12% of chromium can be leached out at optimal conditions.H2O2 is a clean oxidant,which realizes an efficient and synchronous extraction of vanadium and chromium without bringing other impurities.This method is environmental-friendly with high reaction efficiency,and it could be applied as a new liquid oxidation technology.

The isothermal carbothermal reduction of oxidized ilmenite concentrate/carbon composite pellets was performed with coke as reductant,and the kinetics was analyzed by integration method. The reduction temperature was set at 1 000,1 100,1 200 and 1 300 ℃,respectively.The reduction degree of iron oxides in the oxidized ilmenite concentrate,able to be 91%,increased with increase of the reduction temperature and time.The reduction of oxidized ilmenite concentrate was controlled by interface chemical reaction in early stage of solid state reaction( <60 min) with activation energy of 51.23 k J/mol at 1 000 ~1 300 ℃,while it was controlled by diffusion in later period( > 60 min) with activation energy of 93.53 k J/mol. The main phase transformation during the reduction process can be described as follows: Fe2TiO5→ Fe3Ti3O10→FeTiO3.During the phase transformation,the particles’ inner pore and specific surface area were increased,the gas diffusion conditions were improved and the chemical reaction rate in early stage was accelerated.

Abstract(34) PDF(3)
Abstract:
TIG welding experiments on 20 mm thick TC4 titanium alloy plate were carried out by two varying heat inputs,and the joints were investigated in terms of microstructure,mechanical properties and welding defects.Microstructural observations showed that martensite in welded zone is more dispersed than those in fusion zone and heat affected zone.in Heat affected zone has less quantity and small size of martensite.With the welding heat input increasing,the grain size of the joints grows and martensite becomes larger and more dispersed.High heat input leads to stomata defect and deteriorate the mechanical properties of weld joint seriously.To avoid the defects such as abnormal structures and cracks,the welding heat input should be strictly controlled to prevent the coarse grain in the weld joints.

Abstract:
Electron beam welding( EBW) tests have been conducted on TA1 commercially pure titanium medium plates with a thickness of 30 mm.The effect of EBW welding process on microstructures and properties of TA1 material has been investigated by observing the microstructures and conducting Vickers hardness tests on base metal,heat affected zone and weld seam of the welded joints.The effects of microstructure distributional difference on the macroscopic crack growth path and crack propagation rate of welded specimens are discussed by combining the fatigue crack growth characteristics with the microstructures in different parts of the joint.Test results show that compared with the base metal of TA1,the weld seam and heat affected zone( HAZ) of the welded joint have higher fatigue crack growth resistance,which leads to the deflection of fatigue crack propagation path and the paths extend to base metal finally.Compared with the base metal with equiaxed α phase,the serrated α and α columnar crystals produced by EBW welding have a restrict impact on the fatigue crack growth,which makes the fatigue crack growth rate of the HAZ and weld seam lower than that of the base metal.Under test conditions with stress ratio of 0.1,the fatigue crack growth rate of weld seam is the lowest,the fatigue crack growth rate of HAZ is the second,and the base metal showes the highest fatigue crack growth rate.

Abstract:
In the production of fluxed sinter,calcium ferrite as a low melting point compound which appears to be the starting point of liquid phase formation.During the sintering of iron ore the calcium ferrite acts as a reactant to form complex calcium ferrite in sinter,its amount and distribution affect the ore phase structure of sinter.In this paper,the influence of Al2O3 on the formation mechanism of calcium ferrite was studied by means of modern analysis and testing techniques,such as XRD and SEM.At temperature of 850 ~900 ℃,Al2O3 reacting with dicalcium ferrite(C2F) forms calcium CA2 and Calcium ferrite(CF).When the temperature exceeds the 900 ℃,dicalcium ferrite starts reaction into ferrite calcium. When Al2O3 is lower in mixed ore,Al2O3 particles react almost completely with C2F to form CA2,at the same time some C2F remained in the ore phase takes part into the reaction and eventually form the complex calcium ferrite.

Abstract(19) PDF(1)
Abstract:
In order to further analyze the influence of composition and temperature of slags and hot metal on the titanium distribution ratio under the conditions of furnace protection with titanium ore,the production data of a blast furnace in China was statistically analyzed. And with the help of thermodynamic software Fact Sage,the calculation model of titanium distribution ratio was established.The results indicate that the distribution ratio of titanium increases with the increase of basicity of slags,and decreases with the TiO2 content increasing in slags. The distribution ratio of titanium shows a positive correlation with the temperature of hot metal and the content of silicon and titanium,but is negatively correlated with the sulfur content in the hot metal.In order to ensure the effective furnace protection under higher titanium load,the basicity of slags and the content of silicon in hot metal should be appropriately increased while controlling the sulfur content and maintaining a higher temperature of hot metal.The distribution ratios of titanium calculated by the model and the on-site data have the same variation with the composition and temperature of slags and hot metal,and the actual value is about 1.7 times of the calculated value. In actual production,the titanium distribution ratio between slags and hot metal can be controlled and predicted based on the established model.

Abstract:
In order to control surface cracks in blank beam during continuous casting process,the thermomechanical coupling model of heat transfer,solidification and shrinkage of slab in mold was established by using multi-load step method.According to the calculation results about air gap,based on the principle of air gap minimization,the single taper is optimized for each surface of the beam blank and the best scheme of single taper optimization is determined. After twice optimization on taper,ie,the taper of flange tip is 0.81%/m,the taper of narrow face is 0.38%/m; the taper of-1.44%/m is relatively appropriate for the fillet and flange.The calculation result indicates that the large taper of the mold is the main cause for generating the surface crack,and then it is recommended to reduce the taper.

Abstract(18) PDF(2)
Abstract:
To investigate the microstructure evolution of 316 stainless steel during the slow strain tensile test,strain control is adopted and the strain rate is 10-3 s-1. The specimens are mechanically polished,then chemically-etched,and the tensile test is carried out. The microstructure is investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy( SEM),Atomic Force Microscope( AFM) and Ultra deep field 3D Microscope. The yield strength and tensile strength of 316 stainless steel are 319 MPa,871 MPa,respectively. And the total elongation of the sample is 41%. The surface of the sample has obvious unevenness. SEM observation shows that the grain elongates remarkably along the tensile direction as the tensile deformation increases.During the tensile process,the slip band increases gradually,and the slip band height and number increase with the stretching. In the later stage of tensile test,grain rotates and multi slips appear,which leads to the obvious roughness on the surface of sample.

Abstract:
In order to solve the quality problems of 700 L thin slab during Tangshan iron and steel company FTSC continuous casting,force situation of solidification shell in funnel-typed mold and FTSC( Flexible Thin Slab Casting) spray of secondary cooling was analyzed for thin slab continuous casting,at the same time,according to the characteristics of steel,the causes of surface cracks and internal cracks of 700 L steel was analyzed in this paper.The mould taper,mould water,tundish superheat,mould powder,secondary cooling water etc processes were optimized based on the above analysis results.The results showed that surface cracks and billet internal crack of continuous casting high strength steel thin slab were effectively solved by increasing the opening taper,reducing mould water quantity,reducing tundish superheat,adjusting the viscosity and basicity of mould powder,reducing fountain volume of secondary cooling water. Through the process optimization,heat phase diagram is stabilized,surface and internal quality of thin slab are improved.

Abstract:
In the development of IF steel in ferrite rolling process,the fine longitudinal stripe defects had been observed on the surface of cold rolled product,and the defect is different from the conventional rolling process.In order to find the reason of causing this kind of defects and thereby solve the problem,extensive experimental analysis had been done,focusing on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the product,at the same time surface roughness measurement had been carried out on a TR200 roughness tester.Microstructural observation show there is no obvious differences in grain size of hot rolled plate,implies that fine longitudinal stripe defects of IF ferrite rolling products should be formed during cold rolling and annealing process,and might be due to the low yield strength of the finished coil. Therefore,the annealing temperature has been reduced by 20 ℃,while the hot rolling process had been optimized.The mechanics properties and microstructure of resulted IF steel coil had been improved accordingly,while the fine longitudinal stripe defects had been eliminated.
