Abstract

The utilization of virulent chromium slag has always been a worldwide problem, and lots of C-bearing dust produced in steel industry has not been utilized efficiently. Sintering is a potential method to treat these two kinds of solid wastes, but it is limited by small treatment capacity, incomplete detoxification of Cr(Ⅵ) when they were directly added into sintering process. In this study, an innovative technology of co-processing chromium slag and C-bearing dust via composite agglomeration process (CAP)-blast furnace method was put forward and systematically investigated. In the CAP, the chromium slag and C-bearing dust were first made into composite pellets and added into the matrix feed for co-sintering. The results showed that, 20% chromium slag and 5% C-bearing dust could be co-disposed by the CAP without destroying the quality of the sinters. Cr(VI) was completely reduced to Cr(III) or metal Cr. 12.83% Cr existed as metal Cr, and the rest of Cr existed in spinel as (Mg, Fe)(Cr, Al)2O4 or in silico-ferrite of calcium and alumina as Cr(Ⅲ). After blast furnace smelting, 90.22% Cr in sinters entered stainless mother liquor to be recycled.
