Experimental study on slag splashing with modified vanadium slag

Slag splashing is the most effective technology to improve the furnace campaign of converter; however, due to the great difference of composition between the vanadium slag and the steel slag, the technology has not been applied in the vanadium extraction converter. To solve the serious problem of lining erosion in the vanadium extraction converter, in this paper, slag splashing with modified vanadium slag was studied. The results showed that the purpose of adjusting the state of vanadium slag can be achieved through the modification. The modified slag had good slag splashing performance. After slag splashing, the thickness of the furnace was increased by more than 10?mm. The content of CaO in the modified vanadium slag can be controlled less than 3%, and the quality of vanadium slag and semi-steel was not obviously affected. The metallic iron content in the slag was greatly reduced, which was beneficial to reduce the iron loss in the vanadium extraction process.
