“…Although it has high production efficiency and large scale, the blast furnace-converter smelting process has many severe defects, especially in blast furnace process to reduce the VTM ore. In the blast furnace process, most of the iron and part of vanadium can be reduced into the hot metal, however, almost all of the titanium enters into the slag in phase formation of perovskite and titanaugite, Ti-rich diopside, forming the high titanium slag with the content of TiO2 varying from 22 to 25%, 1,2) which results in the foaming behavior, the increase of melting temperature and viscosity of slag, 3) as well as the difficult separation of slag-iron. 4,5) In particular, viscosity which is sensitive to the structure change of the slag plays a prominent role in the blast furnace.…”
