Definitions

  • the present invention relates to recovery of valuable metals from calcium rich iron containing materials by pyrometallurgical treatment and more par- ticularly to process comprising removal of calcium from the calcium rich iron containing starting material prior to the pyrometallurgical treatment.
  • Some steel plants use iron ore that contains vanadium and other residue metals. These metals and other nonferrous oxides typically end up in the slag during the steelmaking process. This slag is typically landfilled and not used as a product due to the fact that it contains the said metal oxide residues that have been proved to be harmful for the environment. The conventional way to recover these valuable metals is to subject the said slag to smelting.
  • the smelting vessel is an electric arc furnace (alternating current or direct current type).
  • a reductant typically carbon bearing anthracite, coke or metallic re- ductants, typically Al, FeSi or any other reducing substance.
  • the smelting vessel is an electric arc furnace (alternating current or direct current type).
  • Calci- um oxide in this slag makes the liquidus temperature of the slag high and as much as 24% w/w silica flux of total solid feed to the furnace may be required for melting the slag. This amount reflects a situation where the fluxing mix consists solely of quartz and calcium content of the feed material is 45% w/w calculated as CaO.
  • metal product silicon content will be higher when silica flux is used. This is due to the higher silicon oxide input into the furnace compared to the amount of formed metal, which stays roughly at the same level regardless of the used flux amount. Typically some percentage of the silicon fed to the system re- ports to the metal phase. Therefore when tonnage of input silicon is higher while rest of metal forming components stay the same, the metal silicon content will be higher also.
  • the metal phase from the smelting goes to a converting step, where vanadium and other valuable metals are selectively oxidized to the slag.
  • the slag is further treated with salt roasting. In the salt roasting calcium further forms insoluble salts, in particular with vanadium, which causes losses in the following hydrometallurgical treatment stages if calcium is not removed to the sufficient level in the previous processing steps.
  • An object of the present invention is thus to provide a process for recovery of valuable metal(s) from calcium rich iron containing materials so as to overcome the above problems.
  • the objects of the invention are achieved by processes which are characterized by what is stated in the independent claims.
  • the preferred embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the dependent claims.
  • the invention is based on the surprizing realization that removal of calcium from calcium rich iron containing starting material prior to pyrometal- lurgical treatment by leaching allows more efficient pyrometallurgical treatment. Removal of calcium from the material lowers the liquidus temperature of the material in smelting and thus lowers the required amount of flux material or even makes use of flux material redundant. As a result the smelting phase feed amount, residual slag amount and energy consumption are significantly lower. Removal of calcium may also improve the quality of the products obtained from the pyrometallurgical treatment.
  • This invention can also be utilized to a processing option of feeding the starting material after removal of calcium straight to roasting without the previously explained smelting and converting steps. It is possible to reach such a low levels of calcium after the removal of calcium to avoid excessive formation of insoluble calcium salts in the roasting.
  • Another benefit of the present process is that calcium removal step removes hydroxides and carbonates bound in calcium such as Ca(OH) 2 and CaC03. This lowers furnace energy and reductant consumption and makes gas handling and pressure control of the furnace easier and therefore safer.
  • the conventional smelting process if the slag is stored outside pre-drying under 200°C only removes free water and some of crystal waters and all hydroxides and carbonates are left to the furnace feed.
