Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1 or 2.
  • a method for direct reduction is known for example from DE-AS 20 34 385.
  • the metal oxides to be reduced, the slag components and the metal acting as a reducing agent are mixed as a powder, and the powder mixture is partially melted in a water-cooled induction crucible. Since the required inductive coupling can only take place on the metallic component of the mixture, the process only starts up slowly.
  • the reducing agent (Ca) must be added in excess.
  • the metallic titanium in this reaction is present in the solid phase in small particles, so that after the separation, a vacuum distillation to remove excess alkaline earth metal requires a compaction of the titanium particles with subsequent, possibly two, remelting. For this reason, the process could not assert itself in terms of production technology.
  • Titanium oxide (TiO2) melts at 1825 ° C. Reduction of the titanium oxide melt at a temperature above 1825 ° C, e.g. with calcium, is not possible because calcium already evaporates at a temperature of 1484 ° C and is no longer available for the reduction.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a method of the type described in the introduction in which alkaline earth metals can be used economically for direct reduction of the oxides in order to be able to produce the metals and metal alloys concerned on an industrial scale.
  • the slag melt formed from said metal oxides and the alkaline earth metal halide has, depending on the mixing ratio, a substantially lower melting point than the pure metal oxides.
  • alkaline earth metals such as magnesium or barium can also be used for the purpose of the invention. It is advisable to replace the fluorspar (CaF2) contained in the slag, which is particularly suitable for calcium, in whole or in part by the corresponding fluoride, such as MgF2 or BaF2. If the slag does not contain magnesium fluoride or barium fluoride, magnesium or barium must be added together with calcium. Since all alkaline earth metals are soluble in the liquid calcium, the evaporation losses of these elements are significantly smaller.
  • the reduction takes place, for example, for the production of titanium in a liquid slag phase by setting a slag temperature which is above the melting point of titanium, ie at 1675 ° C.
  • the titanium remains liquid. Due to the difference in density, the liquid titanium is inevitably separated from the Slag phase. The liquid titanium can then be poured into blocks.
  • the slag temperature can be set as desired in all three of the furnaces mentioned above by appropriate energy supply. With a sensible design of the melting furnace, the reduction of the oxides in the slag and the removal of the metal melt can be carried out continuously.
  • the conditions in the characterizing part of claim 1 or 2, according to which the separation is to take place at a temperature above the melting point of the metal to be obtained can be accomplished in two ways.
  • metals such as Ti, Zr and Cr, whose melting point is above the reaction temperature, heating is necessary.
  • metals such as Nd and Sm, the melting point of which is below the reaction temperature, heating is unnecessary.
