Description

Process for simultaneously preparing magnesium metal and titanium by one-step method with zero carbon emission
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of metal titanium smelting, and also relates to the field of metal magnesium thermal smelting, in particular to a process for preparing metal magnesium and titanium by reducing serpentine and titanium dioxide through a zero-carbon emission one-step method, belonging to the field of thermal metallurgy.
Background
Titanium and titanium alloy are widely applied to the fields of aerospace, petrochemical industry, medical appliances and the like by the unique advantages of small density, good corrosion resistance, high specific strength, no toxicity and the like, and the demand of human society for titanium is rising year by year. The magnesian reduction method utilizes magnesium metal to react with titanium tetrachloride, and is a main method for industrially producing titanium sponge. However, the process flow is complex, the energy consumption is high, the environment is heavy, and the cost is very high due to the use of excessive magnesium. The method for preparing the metallic titanium by directly reducing the titanium dioxide by magnesium heat is a promising titanium production method because of simple flow and relatively low cost. However, the method is adopted at present, and excessive magnesium vapor is used for carrying out gas-solid reaction with the titanium dioxide-containing agglomerate, so that the reaction rate is very low and the waste amount of the reducing agent magnesium metal is very large.
As a reducing agent for preparing titanium, the metal magnesium generally needs to be in excess of 50-80%, and the consumption and the waste are large. At present, more than 95% of the original magnesium in the world is produced by the Pidgeon process in the hot process magnesium smelting process, and the method is the most widely used metal magnesium smelting process. The method is to prepare magnesium vapor by reducing and calcining dolomite with ferrosilicon under high temperature and high vacuum. However, the existing Pidgeon process magnesium-smelting enterprises have the problems of high energy consumption, high pollution, large carbon dioxide emission and the like. Raw material dolomite used for smelting magnesium by the Pidgeon process generates nearly half of carbon dioxide gas which is directly discharged into the atmosphere when being calcined at a high temperature of 1200 ℃ to have destructive influence on the local ecological environment; the adoption of ferrosilicon as a reducing agent makes the reduction process always maintain the high vacuum condition of 1200 ℃ and 10Pa or below, and consumes a large amount of fossil energy; the harsh reaction conditions require that the reduction tank is made of special alloy materials, but the defects of easy loss and short service life still exist, and the production cost is high. At present, the Pijiang method for producing 1 ton of original magnesium consumes about 8 tons of standard coal, and discharges 26 tons of high-temperature carbon dioxide. The high energy consumption and the high pollution cause great pressure on energy resources and ecological environment of China, and the 'make carbon peak and carbon neutralization work' is one of important tasks in 2021 in the central economic working conference just closing the curtain. Along with the improvement of the requirements of China on energy consumption and environmental protection and the stricter and stricter international limit of carbon dioxide emission of various countries, the green magnesium smelting process with low energy consumption and low carbon emission is researched and developed, the energy and resource utilization rate is improved, and the reduction of waste gas emission becomes the outlet of the thermal magnesium smelting technology of China, and is the only way for China to go from the China with original magnesium production to the China with strong production.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects and problems existing in the existing metallic titanium smelting and traditional Pidgeon magnesium smelting process technology, the invention integrates two processes into a whole, and aims to provide a process for simultaneously preparing metallic magnesium and titanium by one-step reduction of serpentine and titanium dioxide, which realizes zero carbon emission, reduces raw material cost, saves production equipment investment, reduces unit product energy consumption and accelerates chemical reaction speed.
The technical scheme of the invention is realized as follows: a process for preparing magnesium and titanium simultaneously by reducing serpentine and titanium dioxide with zero carbon emission one-step method uses serpentine and titanium dioxide as main raw materials, calcium carbide as a reducing agent and fluorite as a catalyst; the preparation method comprises the following steps:
(1) Firstly, mixing raw materials of water removal serpentine and titanium dioxide, a calcium carbide reducing agent and a fluorite catalyst, and the weight ratio of the components is as follows: 45-50 parts of water removal serpentine powder, 15-20 parts of titanium dioxide powder, 35-40 parts of calcium carbide powder, 3-5 parts of fluorite powder and 100 parts of total mass.
(2) And secondly, placing the prepared materials into a ball mill with a sieve for grinding and sieving, wherein the qualified mixed powder is used for the next stage, and part of unqualified powder is placed into the ball mill again for continuous grinding.
(3) And then sending the qualified mixed powder into a high-pressure twin-roll ball press, and pressing the mixed powder into pellets.
(4) Placing the pressed pellets into a reactor, introducing argon into the reactor to ensure an argon environment, heating the pellets to 950-1100 ℃, producing excessive liquid magnesium metal, and reducing titanium dioxide to generate solid titanium.
(5) And vacuumizing the reactor, and flashing excessive liquid magnesium to obtain magnesium vapor, and solidifying the magnesium vapor in a condenser to collect metal magnesium.
The serpentine raw material can be dehydrated serpentine (3MgO.2SiO) obtained by calcining serpentine ore 2 ) May also be magnesium oxide (MgO) and silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) A mixture of two substances.
Grinding the water-removing serpentine, titanium dioxide, calcium carbide and fluorite catalyst into powder, and then enabling the particle size number to be higher than 100 meshes.
The qualified mixed powder is extruded into pellets by a ball press, which means that the equivalent diameter of the solid is converted into the solid blocks with the shapes of walnut shape, pillow shape, ellipsoid shape, sphere shape, cylinder shape and the like which are not more than 50 mm.
The vacuum reactor for heating the balls can be externally heated (externally heated) or internally heated (internally heated); the heating can be performed by a heat source such as fuel, or by electric heating, electromagnetic heating, inductance heating, microwave heating, or the like.
And in the process of heating and producing liquid magnesium and solid titanium, an argon atmosphere with the gauge pressure of 0-1000 Pa is always kept in the reactor.
The reactor may be sealed and provided with a magnesium condenser, the reactor being evacuated to flash excess liquid magnesium to magnesium vapour and the absolute pressure in the reactor being below 100Pa when the condenser solidifies.
In the process for preparing magnesium and titanium simultaneously by reducing serpentine and titanium dioxide with the zero-carbon emission one-step method, the pellet reaction temperature in the reactor is 950-1100 ℃.
The reduction of serpentine into liquid magnesium and the reduction of titanium dioxide into solid titanium by liquid magnesium are all carried out in the same reactor. The process uses serpentine to replace dolomite in magnesium smelting by the Pidgeon process as a raw material, avoids the discharge of a large amount of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere in the dolomite calcination process, and realizes zero carbon emission; also because of silica SiO in serpentine 2 With reducing agent calcium carbide CaC 2 Generates very stable 3CaO.2SiO in the reaction process 2 The reaction can occur at 950 ℃ under normal pressure, the reduction temperature is greatly reduced compared with 1200 ℃ used by the traditional Pidgeon process, and the heating cost can be greatly reduced; the reduction temperature and the normal pressure environment condition have much lower material requirements on the reactor used in the process than those of the Pidgeon process, thus greatly reducing the equipment replacement cost; compared with the traditional process for producing the metallic titanium, the process does not need to purchase expensive metallic magnesium as a reducing agent, but generates excessive liquid metallic magnesium as the reducing agent after the serpentine is reduced by the silicon carbide in the pellet, so that the cost of the reducing agent used in the preparation process of the metallic titanium is greatly reduced; the process presses the powdery raw materials into balls, and the magnesium metal and titanium dioxide are subjected to reduction reaction in a liquid state, so that the distance between the reaction raw materials can be reduced, the production reaction speed of the titanium metal is increased, and the utilization rate of the raw materials is improved; the traditional Pidgeon process for smelting magnesium and the magnesium thermal process for producing metallic titanium are integrated into one reactor to be carried out simultaneously, so that the equipment investment is reduced, the equipment utilization rate is improved, and the investment cost of production equipment is reduced.
