Study on calcification reduction sodium removal of vanadium extraction tailings by coal-based rotary kiln method
In view of the high sodium content in vanadium extraction tailings,which leads to the diffi-culty of returning to the sintering-blast furnace process for recycling,herein we proposed a calcification reduction sodium removal technology route for vanadium extraction tailings based on coal-based rotary kiln reduction,and conducted a semi-industrial test on a Ø1 m×10 m rotary kiln pilot line.The influ-ence of reduction time in the high temperature section,white ash ratio,into the kiln ton-ball coke ratio and high temperature reduction time on vanadium extraction tailings sodium removal was mainly stud-ied.At the same time,the performance of pellets after desalination and the situation of kiln formation in the rotary kiln were analyzed.Under the conditions of high temperature section temperature of 1 100~1 160 ℃,high temperature section time of 1.8~2 h,into the kiln ton-ball coke ratio of 800~1 000 kg,white ash ratio of 32.5%~41%,the sodium removal rate of vanadium extraction tailings can reach more than 80%,and the coke consumption is 359 kg.The agglomeration in the kiln is mainly composed of vanadium extraction tailings pellet powder and coke ash powder.The agglomeration is loose and por-ous,consisting of fine particles which are sticky to each other.The agglomeration will fall off automat-ically during the kiln rotation process,without obvious kiln formation phenomenon.
