    ENG: The purpose of the study: physicochemical justification of the process conditions and development of a rational algorithm for a single-stage waste-free method of oxidative dephosphorization of a high-phosphorus manganese alloy. Methods: thermodynamic analysis of the main reactions during oxidative refining of manganese alloys with a high phosphorus content. Experimental verification of the main stages of refining. Results: The physicochemical essence of the refining process of a high-phosphorus manganese alloy, which consists in creating conditions for oxidation in the alloy of manganese, carbon and silicon, is considered. The thermodynamic forecast of the course of reactions under the given conditions of oxidative refining of the associated metal confirms the possibility of obtaining three products: low-phosphorus manganese slag, ferric melt and phosphorus-containing slag with a phosphorus oxide content of 18-20% (phosphorus fertilizer). Scientific novelty: Based on the results of high-temperature mathematical modeling, it was established that the most rational oxygen consumption, which ensures the achievement of the tasks, is ~ 13 m3. As an oxidant, it is advisable to use oxygen blown by air, which is introduced into the converter bath using an inflatable nozzle from above. In this case, the total air consumption per 100 kg of alloy should be about 50 m3. Practical value: In the work, based on the thermodynamic forecast of the behavior of the elements of the accompanying alloy in oxidizing conditions, assessment of the thermal side of the process and further experimental verification, results were obtained that confirm the possibility of creating a waste-free technological scheme for refining a high-phosphorus alloy. In this case, it is advisable to carry out the refining of the alloy in conditions close to the conditions of modern production of low-phosphorus manganese slag, in which the temperature of the accompanying alloy is 1320...1350°C.

    Regulation of Carbon and Phosphorus Content in Manganese Alloys when Processed in an Oxidizing Gas Environment or Oxide System
    (Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Dnipro, 2024) Velychko, K. A.; Mianovska, Ya. V.; Kamkina, Liudmyla V.
    ENG: Purpose: Determination of rational methods for reducing the carbon and phosphorus content in manganese alloys. Research methodology: thermodynamic calculations and experimental studies of decarburization and dephosphorization of a high-phosphorus manganese alloy. Research materials: As a high-carbon ferromanganese with a high phosphorus content, an associated metal (manganese alloy) obtained during the production of low-phosphorus slag at the Nikopol Ferroalloy Plant was used. Rolling scale was used as an oxidant (composition, wt. %: FeO – 59.5; Fe3O4 – 38.9). Research results: The features of dephosphorization of manganese alloys were considered. According to the adopted “classical” technology, a useful product of dephosphorization of manganese concentrates is manganese slag with a low phosphorus content. Oxidation of phosphorus dissolved in the metal can occur as a result of its interaction with oxygen in the gas phase, while the oxidation of this slag, the higher its basicity, the greater the probability of phosphorus oxidation. Considering the basicity of the slag, the higher the FeO content in it, the better the conditions for removing phosphorus from the metal. The process of dephosphorization of the associated metal includes the oxidation of phosphorus, the binding of phosphorus oxide into strong compounds (phosphates) and their transition to the slag phase. Scientific novelty: The composition of the associated metal includes silicon, which has a much higher affinity for oxygen than phosphorus; Then, naturally, it will first be oxidized with the formation of silicon oxide with a melting point much higher than the temperature of experimental studies. Practical significance: The results obtained show that when oxidizing the associated metal with iron scale at a specific consumption of 114 kg/t of metal, the total degree of extraction: silicon 88.16%, phosphorus 71.03%. At the same time, the manganese content in the metal decreased by 6.48% due to the reduction of rolling scale.
