Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for converting and separating vanadium, titanium, and iron from the vanadium-titanium-iron concentrate in one step, which includes the steps as below. ( 1 ) The vanadium-titanium-iron concentrate is mixed and roasted together with addition agent and reducing, agent, and thereby vanadium-containing pig iron and vanadium enriched slag are obtained. ( 2 ) The vanadium titanium enriched slag is leached in water and filtered, and thereby vanadium-containing solution and titanium slag are obtained. The technical features of the present invention are as below. By the new process of sodium reduction coupling, a new system of low-temperature smelting multiphase reaction separation is constructed. The reduction of iron, sodiumizing of vanadium, and the melting separation process of the vanadium titanium enriched slag and the iron are achieved in one step. Three products, i.e., the vanadium-containing pig iron, the vanadium-containing solution, and the titanium slag are produced.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for converting and separating vanadium, titanium, and iron from vanadium-titanium-iron concentrate in one step, comprising:
step 1, Mixing vanadium-titanium-iron concentrate with an addition agent and a reducing agent, conducting roasting for 0.5-4 hours at a temperature of 1100-1400° C., so that vanadium-containing pin iron and vanadium titanium enriched slag are obtained, wherein a ratio by weight is vanadium-titanium-iron concentrate: addition agent: reducing, agent=100: (40-80); (20-50); step 2, Leaching the vanadium titanium enriched slag obtained in the step 1 in water, conducting filtering, such that a vanadium-containing solution and a titanium slag are obtained.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the major compositions of the vanadium-titanium-iron concentrate in the step 1 includes iron with a total mass fraction of 30%-60%, V 2 O 5 with a mass fraction of 0.15% -2.0%, and TiO2 with a mass fraction of 5%-35%.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the addition agent in the step 1 is one item or a mixture of more than one items selected from a group consisting of sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, sodium sulfate, sodium chloride, sodium borate, and sodium bicarbonate.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the reducing agent in the step 1 is one item or a mixture of more than one items selected from a group consisting of anthracite, bituminous coal, brown coal, and coke.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the vanadium-containing pig iron in the step 1 has an iron mass fraction of 90%-98%, and a vanadium mass fraction of 0.05%-1%.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a leaching liquid-solid ratio in the step 2 is 1:1-5:1, a leaching temperature is 30-100° C., and a leaching time is 0.5-4 hours.
