Abstract

High-temperature quench method, scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and thermodynamic analysis were adopted to study the effects of Fe2O3 on reduction process of Cr-containing solid waste self-reduction briquette (Cr-RB). Moreover, the relevant mechanism was also studied. The results clearly showed that the addition of Fe2O3 decreased the chromium-iron ratio (Cr/(Fe + Cr)) of Cr-RB itself and promoted the reduction of chrome oxide in the Cr-containing solid wastes such as stainless steel slag and dust. A large number of Fe-C alloy droplets generated in the lower temperature could decrease the activity of reduced chromium by in situ dissolution and the reduction of Cr-oxide was accelerated. Rapid separation of metal and slag could be achieved at a relatively lower temperature, which was very beneficial to the efficient recovery of Cr. Finally, the corresponding mechanism diagram was presented.

Summary

Introduction

In the entire process of stainless steel smelting, chromium is inevitably oxidized into stainless steel slag (SSS) [1,2], especially for the EAF (electric-arc furnace) smelting process, stainless steel dust (SSD) [3,4], and mill scales [5] to form Cr-containing solid wastes. These solid wastes are valuable secondary resources, especially containing a considerable amount of chromium metal.
