This article examines results of the thermodynamic modeling of interaction of the briquetted tailings obtained at hydrometallurgical leaching of the vanadium-containing quartzites (black shales) with carbon and iron, determination of Si, V, Fe, C equilibrium distribution and optimal conditions for the formation of various grades of ferrosilicon, as well as the electric melting to produce silicon alloys. The research techniques were the method of thermodynamic modeling using the HSC-6.0 software package (Outokumpu), the second-order rotatable designs (Box-Hunter plans) and electrofusion in an arc furnace. It was established that an increase in the amount of iron from 11 to 39% makes it possible to increase the extraction degree of silicon into an alloy up to 72–73% in the temperature of 1800–2000 °C, in the process the silicon concentration in the alloy decreases from 57–65.7 to 40.5–40.9%; FS45-grade ferrosilicon at the extraction degree of silicon in the alloy of 70–72.6% can be formed in the temperature of 1750–2000 °C in the presence of 29–39% Fe, FS50 ferrosilicon is formed at 25.5–35.0% Fe and 1870–2000 °C, and FS65 ferrosilicon – in the temperature of 1895–2000 °C in the presence of 11–12.7% Fe. The FS45-grade ferrosilicon was formed during electric smelting of a charge containing 57% of the briquettes, 21% of coke, 22% of steel chips, and the FS50-grade ferrosilicon – using a charge consisting of 61% of the briquettes, 22% of coke and 17% of steel chips; the silicon extraction degree into the alloys is 73–79%.

The article examines results of studies on the effect of temperature, amount of carbon and pressure on the possibility of obtaining iron silicides and gaseous magnesium by carbon-thermal reduction of silicon and magnesium oxides containing in chrysotile-asbestos waste products. The studies were carried out using the HSC-6.0 software package (Outokumpy) and the second-order rotatable designs (Box-Hunter plans). It has been established that technology allows us to increase αSi(al), for example, at 1400 °C from 89.6 to 96.75%, reduce undesirable losses of silicon with gaseous SiO from 8.97 to 2.08% and slightly increase αMg(gas) from 97.41 to 97.54%. The alloy formed at 1300 °C contains 28.7% of silicon and corresponds to FS25 grade ferrosilicon.

The article contains the research results of obtaining a ferroalloy from a carbon ferrochrome dust containing 30,2% of Сr2O3, 23.4% of SiO2, 32.7% of MgO, 5.0% of FeO, 1.6% of CaO, 4.5%of Al2O3, 2.3%of C, and 0.3 %-others. The studies were carried out by a thermodynamic modeling method using the HSC-5.1 software package (Outokumpy) based on the principle of the Gibbs energy minimum, the Box-Hunter rototable planning technique and electric melting of the dust in an arc furnace. It was found that the interaction of the dust with carbon under equilibrium conditions and in the presence of iron leads to formation of Cr4C(T>10000C),Cr3C2, Cr7C3,Cr (T>11000C), FeSi (T>13000C), SiC (T>14000C), SiOg and Si(T>15000C). In the temperature range of 1745-19000C and in the presence of 18-34% of carbon and 8% of iron of the dust mass, the resulting ferroalloy contained 18.5-25.2% of Si and 46.8-49.4% of Cr (in this case the silicon extraction degree into the alloy was 60.0-64.4%, the chromium one–99.8%). When the electrosmelting the granulated dust together with coke and steel shavings, the chromium extraction degree into the alloy was 98-99%, the silicon one–53-57%; the obtained ferroalloys containing 18.3-21.9% of silicon and 45.6-53.6%of chromium meet the requirements to FeCrSi23-grade ferrosilicochromium.
