Research on the Composition Characteristics of Slag from Desulphurization and Slag Skimming

摘要

In order to produce the iron and steel products with high quality and decrease the output of steel tailings,the quality of molten iron is a critical factor for iron and steel companies,especially the content of sulfidic in molten iron.Hot metal pre-treatment,an important and effective method to desulphur,is widely used in steel production.Millions of tons of slag from desulphurization and slag skimming are produced each year in China,and many more times this amount is stored in slag dams because of the lack of effective means to deal with it.In order to achieve the goal of sustainable development,recycling these slag becomes necessary.The main objective of this paper is to study the composition characteristics of slag that from desulphurization and slag skimming.The sample was obtained from Anshan Iron and Steel Group Corporation,processed by hot metal pre-treatment.In this study,the chemical components and the mineral compositions of sample were tested.The results of chemical components and iron chemistry phase analysis showed that the iron and sulphide content in this sample were high,and the iron products existed mainly in the form of magnetite,metallic iron,ferrosilite.X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) results indicated that the sample included metallic iron,ferrate,wustite,metasilicate,aluminate,aluminosilicate,white lime and soon.Grading magnetic separation test work showed that magnetic separation was an effective method to recovery iron products and decrease the sulphide content in concentrate,and the tailing could be used as the raw material or padding in cement production.
