摘要:
Provided is a method for recovering a valuable element, by which method metal with a high proportion of a valuable element can be obtained. The method includes adding a reductant to an oxide containing at least one element selected from the group consisting of nickel and cobalt, followed by heating, to thereby reduce the oxide, the reductant contains at least one selected from the group consisting of metallic iron and an iron oxide, and an addition amount of the reductant is 1.3 equivalent or less.

The invention provides a method for the recovery of a metal-containing product (MProd) comprising: providing a composite material comprising a matrix of oxidised reductant (R0), a product metal (MP) dispersed in the matrix of oxidised reductant (R0), and one or more metal compounds (MPCR) of the product metal (Mp) in one or more oxidation states dispersed in the matrix of oxidised reductant (R0); and treating the composite material to at least partially remove the one or more metal compounds (MPCR) from the matrix of oxidised reductant (R0) to form the metal-containing product (MProd).

The invention provides a method for recovering (collecting) iron and phosphorus from steelmaking slag, which includes a first step in which phosphorus-containing steelmaking slag such as dephosphorization slag is reduced using a reducing agent containing for example carbon, Si or Al to reduce iron oxide and phosphorus oxide in the slag and to recover them as phosphorus-containing molten iron, a second step in which the steelmaking slag from which the iron oxide and the phosphorus oxide have been removed is used as a CaO source in a sintering step and the resultant sintered ore is recycled to a blast furnace, a third step in which the phosphorus-containing molten iron recovered by the reduction is dephosphorized to a phosphorus concentration in the phosphorus-containing molten iron of not more than 0.1% by mass, thereby phosphorus being concentrated in a CaO-containing flux, and a fourth step in which the phosphorus-containing molten iron dephosphorized to a phosphorus concentration of not more than 0.1% by mass is mixed as an iron source with a blast furnace hot metal. The method thus enables inexpensive recovery of phosphorus and iron from the steelmaking slag, and the phosphorus and the iron recovered are effectively used as resources.

Processes for producing low-nitrogen metallic chromium or chromium-containing alloys, which prevent the nitrogen in the surrounding atmosphere from being carried into the melt and being absorbed by the metallic chromium or chromium-containing alloy during the metallothermic reaction, include vacuum-degassing a thermite mixture comprising metal compounds and metallic reducing powders contained within a vacuum vessel, igniting the thermite mixture to effect reduction of the metal compounds within the vessel under reduced pressure i.e., below 1 bar, and conducting the entire reduction reaction in said vessel under reduced pressure, including solidification and cooling, to produce a final product with a nitrogen content below 10 ppm. The final products obtained, in addition to low-nitrogen metallic chromium in combination with other elements, can be used as raw materials in the manufacture of superalloys, stainless steel and other specialty steels whose final content of nitrogen is below 10 ppm.
摘要:
A process for producing an aluminum-scandium based alloy from aluminum and scandium chloride, the process also producing aluminum chloride as a by-product and including the step of reducing scandium chloride in the presence of aluminum in a reaction zone and under reaction conditions which favor production of the aluminum-scandium based alloy.
