Reduction of titanium and other metals from their oxides having free energy lower than that of aluminum is effected in molten portions of slag with aluminum or ferroaluminum. These reduced metals contribute to metallic substrate. Thereupon, a fresh portion of slag is introduced into melting unit and titanium incorporated in the substrate reduces metals from their oxides contained in the fresh slag portion and having free energy lower than that of titanium. Titanium-reduced metals are melted together with metallic substrate and a predetermined amount thereof is poured out. The rest of metallic substrate is replenished with titanium reduced from slag phase with aluminum. Titanium-containing alloy is poured out from melting chamber in predetermined amount, after which, keeping alloy remaining in chamber rotating, all processed slag is discharged. After the notch is closed, rotation of the rest of alloy is stopped, metal plug is formed in the notch, and a fresh portion of slag is supplied in controlled mode while gradually forcing liquid metallic substrate to rotate in order to form parabolically shaped recess therein. From molten portion of slag, a portion of silicon is then reduced with titanium, after which all operations are repeated.

The invention relates to the metallurgy of Nickel, in particular to technology impoverishment of mine slag smelting of oxidized Nickel ores (NRO). It may be useful to depletion of toxins and melts from melting of predominantly Nickel, copper, lead, antimony, tantalum and other metals.

Ways depletion toxins are very numerous and well known. Widespread ways flotation depletion rich slag Nickel and copper flash smelting [1]. However, the flotation method impoverishment to otvajnym the slag pit melting NRO not applicable.

Widespread also electric furnace ways depletion rich slag Nickel and copper flash smelting [1, s-352; 2], as well as Converter slag Nickel smelting [2].

The closest in technical essence to our invention is a method of depletion mine slag melting NRO using mixtures of pyrite and Corsica, sulphide of calcium and Corsica [2, str-279]. Here the depletion of the slag is carried out in one phase and the slag enters the electric unit to the melt surface. Thus, depletion of the slag is carried out when the number of extraction "n"equal to one, the duration of stay of slag in the furnace for about 2 hours; maximum extraction of Nickel in matte (5.9 to 8.4% of Ni) was 38%; the specific consumption of electricity is - 85-130 kWh/ton of slag. The temperature of the slag - 1420-1480°C. Major disadvantages of this method are: low Nickel recovery; obtaining poor in Nickel matte, the use of pyrite and a high degree of desulphurization (>50%); high flow impoverish mix (2-6% by weight of slag).

The present invention is to increase the extraction of Nickel from toxins in their impoverishment. Along with this there is a reduction of consumption impoverish agent, reduction of specific energy consumption, reduction of losses of sulfur in the gas phase.

This object is achieved in that in the method of depleted slag smelting of oxidized Nickel ores, including siphon intake smelting products from the melting furnace in the anterior horn and the processing of slag impoverish agent containing sulfur-containing material and carbonaceous reducing agent according to the invention, the processing of the slag is carried out in counter-current by downloading impoverish agent on the surface of the directional moving upward flow of slag, with drops impoverish agent, falling down, kollektivet valuable components of the slag, through a counter-current movement, and the expense of impoverishing the support agent is 0.5 to 3.0% by weight of slag.

Processing of the slag is carried out in a separate metallurgical unit, providing a continuous flow of slag and the furnace or hearth.

As the sulfur-containing material impoverish agent can be used individually or in presence of each other materials enriched in pyrite, pyrrhotite, calcium sulfide, calcium sulphate, a metal reducing agents, mainly containing Fe, Si, Al.

As impoverishing agents can be used restorative-sulfiding complexes (VSC) systems: FeS2-CaO-(caso3); FeS2-Fe2O3-C; FeS2-Fe-(CaSO4)-C; FS2-Fe-Cao(caso3)-S.

As the carbonaceous reductant used individually or in mixtures with each other materials taken from the group consisting of metals toxic, sulphur petroleum coke, coal char, coal, including brown and skinny, anthracite, peat, peat coke.

As materials-media SO4can be used not only natural gypsum, but also industrial waste (phosphogypsum, perhaps and others).

The technical result to be obtained from using the proposed technical solution is:

1. Depletion of mine slag melting NRO using the principle of extraction with n (the number of extraction)tending to infinity.

2. The extraction method is depleted mine slag melting allows you to increase the extraction of Nickel from 87-90% (current state) to 95-97%.

3. Opertion is some depletion of Nickel smelting slag allows for process mining smelting almost any part of the Stein, until Feinstein.

4. Depletion of slag can be implemented without significant capital and operating costs.

5. Organization of mining smelting to matte containing Nickel is much more than 12%, reduces the consumption of sulfidization smelting, reducing fuel consumption and transition of sulfur in the gas phase.

The essence of the invention consists in the following. Slag pit melting NRO undergo profound depletion of Nickel and cobalt. This can be done by filing impoverish agent to the molten slag, leaving the shaft furnace, in front of the furnace or a separate melting unit by countercurrent movement of the slag and impoverish agent.

The degree of extraction of the metals (Me) this is in agreement with the classical equation of extraction:

where (IU)oand (Me)n- the concentration of Me in the source and destination slag, respectively;

L - coefficient of the Me distribution between slag and matte (ferronickel);

q - weight matte one extraction;

Q - weight of slag;

n is the number of extraction.

Theoretical calculations using equation (1) showed that for values of n equal to 2, 3 and; the concentration of Nickel in the original slag 0.16%; the value of q, equal to 1.0, and L is 0.01, and using pyrrhotite (FeS1,14in the image quality is as impoverishing agent can obtain the following results:

  n=1 n=2 n=3 n=
The content of Ni in atalina slag, % 0,08 0,04 0,01 <0,001
The content of Ni in matte, % 8,0 to 12.0 15,0 16,0
Removing Ni % 50 67 94 99

Experimental verification of the above theoretical indicators was conducted in laboratory conditions (table).

In the experiments used mine slag melting NRO on RISCOM Nickel plant composition, %: 0,13 Ni; 20,0 CaO; 12,4 MgO; 41,1 SiO2; 6,8 Al2O3; pyrrhotite from the dissociation of pyrite Gai concentrator, %: 44,0 Fe, 50 S; petroleum coke Perm refinery, %: 3,3 S; 7,8 volatile, 85, 0.3 ash.

Depletion of slag were at a cost (units): slag - 100; pyrrhotite - 1,0; petroleum coke - 0.01 to 0.3. Stein from the second extraction was returned to the depletion of the original slag and matte from the third extraction in the head of the second extraction. Under these conditions, the following results were obtained:

/tr>
  n=1 n=2 n=3
The content of Ni in atalina slag, % 0,08 0,05 0,03
The content of Ni in matte, % 7,3 9,0 11,0
Removing Ni % 38 61 77

The above experimental data fully confirm the results of theoretical calculations.

We understand that the results of laboratory experiments in industrial services is established will be subject to some adjustment in the direction of a possible reduction of the resulting figures. However, in laboratory conditions, we conducted experiments at values of q equal to 0.5 to 3.0% by weight of the original slag, which showed that the higher values of q higher than 3.0 is impractical (table, example 11), just as impractical and lower q lower than 0.5 (example 4).

In conclusion I must say that as impoverishing agent can be used any sulfidization and/or a metal reducing agent, and any combination of them with each other. Especially useful is the use of metallic reducing agents containing Si, Al, etc. because the process of impoverishment is endothermic. In this case, the use of metal reductants allows you to completely or partially eliminate the need for heating of the slag during its depletion.

For practical implementation does not need any radical reconstruction of the existing equipment as is currently siphon release smelting products that come in front of the furnace where the slag rises to the top surface. Only needed some innovations in the design of the front furnace for the production of slag and feed horn impoverish agent.

There is no need to argue about the possibility of implementing the method in a freestanding stove installation.

Thus, the above data demonstrate the feasibility of p is edlagaemoe technology and indicate the solution of the task.
