摘要

Dephosphorization during the vanadium extraction process in the converter was studied. The effects of the slag basicity and FeO content on the dephosphorization and the mineral phases in the phosphorus-containing vanadium slag are discussed. The results show that removal of phosphorus from the hot metal during the vanadium extraction process can be achieved by adding lime into the vanadium extraction converter. The highest dephosphorization rate was obtained at slag basicity of 1.93. The phosphorus distribution ratio increased with increasing FeO content up to 16-18% but decreased thereafter. Vanadium was present in the slag only as spinels rather than calcium vanadate. Phosphorus was still present in the form of calcium phosphate eutectic in calcium silicate. The present work proves that the vanadium extraction and dephosphorization processes are nonconflicting reactions.
