For geometrical similarity, the radius ratio of model disk to the prototype disk was chosen as 1 ： 1. For dynamic similarity, equality of Ohnesorge number between the model and the prototype was achieved firstly by compounding rosin and paraffin wax with mass ratio of 4 ~ 1 as simulation liquid of molten blast furnace （BF） slag, and the simulation material can satisfy the similarity of liquid solid transformation during falling in the medium; then equality of Reynolds number and Weber number was obtained by controlling the volumetric flow rate and the rotary speed, respectively. Model accuracy was verified by comparing the simulation data with the results re ported in literature, which showed good agreement with the calculation results of empirical equation and the actual molten BF slag granulation from the view point of particle size. Furthermore, influences of disk radius, rotary speed and liquid flow rate on granulation were discussed using the developed model, and the Kitamura equation was modi-fied according to the simulation data which can predict particle size more accurately. Using the modified equation, the operation parameters were predicted according to the flow rate of molten industrial BF slag.展开更多

The effects of acid concentration, reflux time, and acid type on the formation of TiO2 were systematically investigated by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray dif- fraction （XRD）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy （HRTEM）, and X-ray fluorescence （XRF）. It is indicated that TiO2 nanorod with rutile phase is achieved in nitric or hydrochloric acid, while anatase TiO2 nanodisk is formed in sulfuric acid. With the increase of the concentration of hydrochloric acid from 0.3 to 1.5 mol-L-1, the dispersibility and crystallinity of the final product can be improved. With prolonging the reflux time from 6 to 14 h, the rutile TiO2 nanorod with uniform crystal size and high crystallinity is obtained. The growth mechanism of TiO2 nanorod and nanodisk prepared under different conditions was also discussed.展开更多

By measuring the relationships among the viscosity, the shear stress and the shear rate of molten slags with different Ti C contents at different temperatures, the rheological constitutive equations were established along with the rheological parameters; in addition, the non-Newtonian fluid types of the molten slags were determined. The results indicated that, with increasing Ti C content, the viscosity of the molten slag tended to increase. If the Ti C content was less than 2wt%, the molten slag exhibited the Newtonian fluid behavior when the temperature was higher than the critical viscosity temperature of the molten slag. In contrast, the molten slag exhibited the non-Newtonian pseudoplastic fluid characteristic and the shear thinning behavior when the temperature was less than the critical viscosity temperature. However, if the Ti C content exceeded 4wt%, the molten slag produced the yield stress and exhibited the Bingham and plastic pseudoplastic fluid behaviors when the temperature was higher and lower than the critical viscosity temperature, respectively. When the Ti C content increased further, the yield stress of the molten slag increased and the shear thinning phenomenon became more obvious.展开更多

The transport of the molten slag to the receiving pots is carried out through open channels. The transient and steady-state flow of a molten slag in a rectangular open channel is numerically analyzed here. For the transient flow, the Saint-Venant equations were numerically solved. For the steady-state flow, the derivatives in time and space in the Saint-Venant equations were set equal to zero and a polynomial of degree 3 is obtained whose roots are the slag height values. It was assumed that the viscosity of the slag has an Arrhenius-type behavior with temperature. Four values of temperature values, namely 1723.15, 1773.15, 1823.15, 18873.15 ˚K, and five values of the angle of inclination of the channel, namely 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 degrees, are considered. Numerical results show that the steady-state values of the height and velocity of the molten slag depend strongly on the temperature of the slag and the angle of inclination of the channel. As the slag temperature and channel angle increase, the value of the steady-state slag height decreases. The value of the steady-state slag velocity increases as the slag temperature and channel inclination angle increase.展开更多

Degassing is often done to the steel at secondary steelmaking to lower the nitrogen content, but the control can often be kinetically limited by the steel grade and also the slag composition. Thus, a fundamental understanding of nitrogen dissolution into molten slag and metal including the rate of nitrogen dissolution can help in controlling nitrogen content in the final product.The kinetics of nitrogen dissolution in the molten calcium aluminate based slags and in molten steel with various element additions was investigated by measuring the 14N-15N isotope exchange reaction using a mass spectrometer at 1873 K.Results show that effect of elements on the rate constant of nitrogen dissolution such as Ni in Fe is relatively minimal similar to molybdenum. The surface rate constant of nitrogen dissolution in liquid Fe-10%Ni alloy was found to be 3.77×10-5 (mol/cm2·s·atm).The rate constant of nitrogen dissolution in the CaO-Al2O3-CaF2 slag was found to be wedge shaped, which decreased with increasing CaF2 to about 20 mol% followed by an increase through the rest of the CaF2 composition range. This was related to the effect of CaF2 on the structure of Al-O bonds for this slag.展开更多

The effect of mass ratio of CaO to V2O5 on the recovery of vanadium was studied. The sintered samples were leached by H2SO4 solution and characterized by XRD, XPS, SEM and EDS techniques. Compared with the roasting process, the energy saving effect of the proposed process was also discussed. The results showed that vanadium-rich phases were formed and vanadium mainly existed in the forms of CaV2O5 and Ca2V2O7. The formation mechanism of calcium vanadates in the molten vanadium bearing slag was explained. The XRD and XPS results implied that there was a limit to the oxidation reaction of V(IV) to V(V) under the high temperatures even though oxygen-supply was sufficient. An increase in the CaO content led to an increase in the formation of Ca2V2O7. About 90%of the vanadium recovery was obtained under optimal experiment conditions (mass ratio of CaO to V2O5 of 0.6, particle size 120 to 150μm, leaching temperature 90 °C, leaching time 2 h, H2SO4 concentration 20%, liquid to solid ratio 5:1 mL/g, stirring speed 500 r/min). The energy of 1.85×106 kJ could be saved in every 1000 kg of vanadium bearing slag using the proposed process from the theoretical calculation results. Recovery of vanadium from the molten vanadium bearing slag and utilisation of its heat energy are important not only for saving metal resources, but also for energy saving and emission reduction.展开更多

文摘High alumina slag will cause severe corrosion at the interface of alumina refractory,and the wetting behavior of slag is a key factor influencing the corrosion resistance of refractory ceramics.The static magnetic field is a promising solution for improvement in the slag resistance of refractory.The wetting of alumina refractory ceramics with different basicities of high alumina slags under a weak static magnetic field was analyzed,given that a weak static magnetic field can affect the corrosion behavior of refractory ceramics.Taking slag S_(3) as an example,when there was an external static magnetic field of 1.0 mT at 1600 ℃,the thickness of calcium aluminate reaction layer at the interface decreased by 36.7%,the denting depth of interface decreased by 35.6%,and the apparent wetting angle increased by 20%.The living radicals and their formation path in oxide melts were verified by first-principles calculation combined with electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy analysis.The influence of the flux density of a weak static magnetic field on the wetting behavior of slags was also explored.The contact angle of the slags increased owing to the inhibitory effect of magnetic field on the radicalinvolved reaction at the interface of the slag and the alumina refractory ceramic.The relationships between the magnetic flux density,diffusion coefficient,slag microstructure(hyperfine coupling constant),and contact angle were established.This provides a theoretical basis for the field control of radical involved reactive wetting between inorganic oxide slags and solid oxide ceramics.

文摘The activity of FetO is very important in ironmaking and steelmaking process.In order to predict the activ-ity of Fe,O and optimize the operation conditions in ironmaking and steelmaking process,by application of regular so lution model in molten slag systems,FeO-Fe2 O3-SIO2 ternary system,FeO-Fe2 O3-SiO2-CaO and FeO-Fe2 O3-SiO2-NiO quaternary systems have been studied by the chemical equilibrium between H2/H20 gas mixture and liquid slag con tained in solid iron.The values of interaction energy between cations concerning steelmaking slags have been deter-mined by application of ferric-ferrous iron equilibrium and iron-ferric iron equilibrium.And then the activity of Fe,O can be calculated.The results show that the relative error is 3.9%in FeO-Fe2O3-SiO2 system and 18%in FeO-Fe2O3-SiO2 CaO system.The prediction of activities of FetO in the systems are in good agreement with the measure-ments and the regular solution model is valid for predicting the activity of FetO in complex molten slags systems.The activity of Fe,O in FeO-Fe20a-NiO system have not been tested presently,and the calculated result can not be assessed.
文摘In recent years, metallurgical slags have been increasingly used as materials for the manufacture of cement, pavement and filling material. The transport of the molten slag to the receiving pots is carried out through open channels. The transient and steady-state flow of a molten slag in a rectangular open channel is numerically analyzed here. For the transient flow, the Saint-Venant equations were numerically solved. For the steady-state flow, the derivatives in time and space in the Saint-Venant equations were set equal to zero and a polynomial of degree 3 is obtained whose roots are the slag height values. It was assumed that the viscosity of the slag has an Arrhenius-type behavior with temperature. Four values of temperature values, namely 1723.15, 1773.15, 1823.15, 18873.15 ˚K, and five values of the angle of inclination of the channel, namely 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 degrees, are considered. Numerical results show that the steady-state values of the height and velocity of the molten slag depend strongly on the temperature of the slag and the angle of inclination of the channel. As the slag temperature and channel angle increase, the value of the steady-state slag height decreases. The value of the steady-state slag velocity increases as the slag temperature and channel inclination angle increase.
文摘Nitrogen can easily contaminate molten steel during the steelmaking process and due to the low nitrogen capacity in slag, it is difficult to remove entrapped nitrogen from liquid steel. Degassing is often done to the steel at secondary steelmaking to lower the nitrogen content, but the control can often be kinetically limited by the steel grade and also the slag composition. Thus, a fundamental understanding of nitrogen dissolution into molten slag and metal including the rate of nitrogen dissolution can help in controlling nitrogen content in the final product.The kinetics of nitrogen dissolution in the molten calcium aluminate based slags and in molten steel with various element additions was investigated by measuring the 14N-15N isotope exchange reaction using a mass spectrometer at 1873 K.Results show that effect of elements on the rate constant of nitrogen dissolution such as Ni in Fe is relatively minimal similar to molybdenum. The surface rate constant of nitrogen dissolution in liquid Fe-10%Ni alloy was found to be 3.77×10-5 (mol/cm2·s·atm).The rate constant of nitrogen dissolution in the CaO-Al2O3-CaF2 slag was found to be wedge shaped, which decreased with increasing CaF2 to about 20 mol% followed by an increase through the rest of the CaF2 composition range. This was related to the effect of CaF2 on the structure of Al-O bonds for this slag.

文摘Rare earth molten salt electrolytic slag(RMES)has emerged as a promising secondary resource for rare earth elements(REEs).This study introduces an innovative leaching technique for extracting REEs from RMES under atmospheric conditions,employing an alkali phase reconstruction method followed by an acid leaching process.Additionally,the external electric field was employed to enhance the reaction.Under the optimal reaction conditions:NaOH initial concentration of 70 wt%,NaOH-slag mass ratio of 4:1,temperature of 160℃,current density of 1000 A/m^(2),reaction time of 90 min,stirring speed of 300 r/min,HCl concentration of 4 mol/L,liquid-solid ratio of 15:1,and leaching time of 20 min,the leaching efficiencies of Nd and Pr reach up to 99.21%and 99.14%,respectively.Phase analysis indicates that the rare earth fluorides transform into rare earth hydroxides,significantly enhancing their solubility in acid solution.The imposition of an external electric field leads to pronounced disruption of the RMES surface,thereby promoting the formation of stable reactive oxygen species in the alkaline medium.This facilitates the decomposition of fluorinated rare earths and hastens the phase reconstruction,resulting in an enhanced leaching process.The achieved leaching efficiency with an external electric field is 37%higher than that without an electric field.

文摘A novel process of vanadium extraction from vanadium slag in its molten state was conducted at the laboratory scale by oxidation with pure oxygen in the presence of CaO. The effect of mass ratio of CaO to V2O5 on the recovery of vanadium was studied. The sintered samples were leached by H2SO4 solution and characterized by XRD, XPS, SEM and EDS techniques. Compared with the roasting process, the energy saving effect of the proposed process was also discussed. The results showed that vanadium-rich phases were formed and vanadium mainly existed in the forms of CaV2O5 and Ca2V2O7. The formation mechanism of calcium vanadates in the molten vanadium bearing slag was explained. The XRD and XPS results implied that there was a limit to the oxidation reaction of V(IV) to V(V) under the high temperatures even though oxygen-supply was sufficient. An increase in the CaO content led to an increase in the formation of Ca2V2O7. About 90%of the vanadium recovery was obtained under optimal experiment conditions (mass ratio of CaO to V2O5 of 0.6, particle size 120 to 150μm, leaching temperature 90 °C, leaching time 2 h, H2SO4 concentration 20%, liquid to solid ratio 5:1 mL/g, stirring speed 500 r/min). The energy of 1.85×106 kJ could be saved in every 1000 kg of vanadium bearing slag using the proposed process from the theoretical calculation results. Recovery of vanadium from the molten vanadium bearing slag and utilisation of its heat energy are important not only for saving metal resources, but also for energy saving and emission reduction.

文摘Molten slag is broken up by supersonic air into droplets through the air quenching dry slag granulation technique.The breakup process of blast furnace slag directly determines the droplet diameter and the waste heat recovery.In order to gain deep insight into the granulation mechanism and visualize the breakup process,three-dimensional unsteady numerical simulation based on the k-x based shear stress transport turbulence model was conducted to simulate the transient breakup process of molten slag(k is the turbulent kinetic energy,and x is the specific dissipation rate).The coupled level-set and volume-of-fluid method was utilized to capture the sharp air–liquid interface.The results show that a flat film is formed firstly under the effects of air impingement,recirculation zone and pressure gradients.Then,the axial wave and the spanwise wave appear simultaneously and the film is broken up into ligaments owing to the generation of vortex and hole structure at the intersection of axial trough and spanwise trough.Finally,the ligaments are broken up into droplets owing to Rayleigh–Taylor instability at the air–liquid interface.The droplets smaller than 3.00 mm account for 80%,with the average diameter of 1.95 mm.

文摘The oxygen-ion-permeable membrane galvanic short-circuit method has been developed, in which pure metal was directly extracted from the molten oxide slag, and no external voltage is applied. The galvanic cell employed in the experiment was as follows: graphite rod|[O]Fe+C saturation|ZrO2(MgO)|(FeO)(slag)|Fe rod. The reduction current in the galvanic cell consisted of an external short-circuit current and an interior short-circuit current in the oxygen-ion-permeable membrane. The real-time variation of external circuit reduction ratio of the molten slag could be obtained from the curve of the external circuit current to the time.

文摘The molten slag in smelting reduction with iron bath has peculiar behaviour for its high FeO concentration. Slag foaming is effected by the concentration and reduction rate of FeO, basicity of slag and temperature. Addition of granulated coke can greatly decrease slag foaming extent in the process of smelting reduction with iron bath. The anti-foaming capacity of granulated coke is the best when the ratio of coke used for coke layer to total coke used in smelting reduction is controlled at about 20%.

文摘The entrained flow gasification has been identified as the most promising gasification technology.Serious environmental pollution and waste of land resources are caused by the increasing amount of storage and production of coal gasification slag.The aim of this work is to explore the feasibility of high-temperature combustion and melting technology for treating coal gasification fine slag and determine the important parameters of system operation.The flow properties and molten slag structure characteristics of three fine slags from different entrained flow gasifiers were studied.Depending on the melting mechanism of melt-dissolution,the melting time of fine slags is short.Three fine slags all produce glassy slags,which is conducive to slag discharge.The degree of polymerization of silicate melt is proportionate to the amount of SiO_(2)in the slag.A part of Al^(3+)exist in the form of[AlO_(4)]^(5-)because of the effect of CaO and Na_(2)O,as the network former.Finally,the degree of polymerization of the three type molten slag was calculated by considering the role of Si and Al in molten slag and the property of each one.
