Description
Summary:In order to utilize the iron resource effectively in red mud, a laboratory experiment based on the orthogonal method was carried out. Nuggets were gotten by directly reducing the carbon-bearing pellets of red mud and coal. The results showed that the strongest influencing factor is temperature, and the separation between liquid iron and slag is thoroughly. The nuggets can be gotten when the pellets, in which xC/xO is 1.6 and the basicity is 1.0, were maintained in 30 min at 1 400 ℃. The nuggets have a high TFe content which is higher than that in the hot metal produced in BF. It also has a low content of Si and Mn, but a high content of S and P. The main compositions of the slag are amorphous phase mainly containing SiO_2 and unreduced Fe_2SiO_4. Of course, a little reduced iron retains in it.
