The article describes the modern technology of iron smelting from vanadiumcontaining titanomagnetite. The complex of research presented by the NTMK team and the leading research teams of the Ural Institute of metals, the metallurgical Institute of the Ural branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and the Ural Federal University is the basis for achieving high productivity of the blast furnaces EVRAZ NTMK. The presented research and development works are the basis for the technology of metallurgical processing of vanadiumcontaining titanomagnetite. The developed technology makes it possible to achieve high rates of melting intensity and total consumption of carbon contained in the fuel. Such indicators are achieved by reconstruction, namely by changing the line of the working space of the blast furnace. Modern loading devices were used, energy-efficient technology of coal-dust fuel intake was introduced, and the oxygen content in the air was increased. Considerable attention is paid to the analysis of the domain process and problems of domain melting of titanomagnetite. Particular attention is paid to the implementation of measures to reduce the content of titanium in cast iron.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
