- Abstract
The objective of this research was to optimize the comprehensive utilization of vanadium converter slag through targeted enrichment and stabilization of heavy metal vanadium. Employing the non-equilibrium solidification theory and FactSage software, we investigated the potential of modifying vanadium converter slag. When the original slag failed to generate vanadium-rich spinel with usable V elements, introducing modifying agents Fe and Al proved effective. Fe facilitated the enrichment of Cr within spinel, while Al significantly promoted the V enrichment. Expanding on this, we systematically examined the influence of Fe2O3, AI2O3 and MgO contents on spinel phase precipitation during vanadium slag solidification. The addition of Al resulted in the precipitation of corundum, hematite, spinel, olivine and diopside phases. With an increase in the Fe2O3 content, the precipitation of FeV2O4 and MgV2O4 initially increased, peaking at 9.67 % before subsequently decreasing. Maintaining the Fe2O3 content within a range of 25-30 % proved optimal for enhancing vanadium precipitation and enrichment. In contrast, variations in the AI2O3 content had minor impacts on SP-V phase precipitation, with slight effects on FeVjCA reaching 10.34 %. Furthermore, the incorporation of MgO facilitated the precipitation of MgV2O4 while concurrently suppressing the FeV2O4 precipitation. By judiciously controlling the MgO content at approximately 20 %, vanadium enrichment in the form of FeV2O4 and MgV2O4 spinel phases reached a remarkable 94.46 %.
