Comparing examples 1, 2, 3 with comparative examples 1, 2, 3, the following conclusions can be drawn:
chromium has a higher melting point and boiling point than manganese and iron, and smeltingThe high temperature is more favorable for destroying the structure of the lithium ore to lead Li to be reduced and volatilized, and meanwhile, the chromium metal has small high temperature burning loss and less smoke dust entering, and is more favorable for enriching Li. Chromium is easier to combine with silicon than iron, is favorable for reaction, and inhibits volatilization of SiO; the high-carbon ferrochrome contains about 10% of carbon, chromium does not need carbon reduction, and the dosage of a carbonaceous reducing agent is reduced; the high-carbon ferrochrome contains less impurities, belongs to the field of feeding of concentrate into a furnace, and has small slag quantity and single component; the slag phase in the production process is easy to adjust, the furnace condition is stable, and the operation and the control are convenient; al in slag 2 O 3 High content, and is favorable for subsequent recovery and production of high-purity Al 2 O 3 The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the The consumption of 1 ton of silicon-chromium alloy is more than twice that of silicon-manganese alloy, and the treatment capacity of the silicon-chromium alloy is larger; the high-carbon ferrochrome is used as an additive, C is used as a reducing agent, al-O-Si bonds in spodumene are more easily damaged, lithium is volatilized and enriched in smoke dust, volatilization of SiO and manganese is reduced, impurities such as carbon, silicon and metal oxides in the smoke dust are fewer, the grade of lithium is greatly improved, preparation of lithium salts such as lithium carbonate is more facilitated, the production cost of the lithium salts is reduced, and the reduction temperature difference between the chromium and silicon is shortened due to the fact that chromium is higher than the reduction temperature of manganese, and the lithium salts are more easily combined with silicon. The generated heat is larger than that of manganese, which is favorable for the reduction of C and Si; the manganese-silicon alloy belongs to slag smelting, and because the manganese ore contains impurities, the slag quantity is large, so that Al in the aluminum slag 2 O 3 The content is low; manganese ore itself contains SiO 2 15.69 percent, and other impurities are high in content, so that the dosage of the semi-coke is increased; mineral powder and carbon powder are easy to enter a flue and are mixed with Li ash in the production process; the content of Al and Si detected from the lithium-rich ash of the manganese-silicon alloy is higher than that of the silicon-chromium alloy, so that the loss of silicon and aluminum is proved, the content of Li in the lithium-rich ash is correspondingly reduced, and the cost for producing lithium salt by a subsequent wet method is increased.
