Abstract:Ferro-nickel alloy was prepared by direct reduction at high temperature with Bayer process using high iron red mud and laterite nickel ore as raw materials and coke powder as reducing agent. The effects of different reduction conditions on the reduction process of red mud and laterite nickel ore were studied by analyzing and testing the alloys and residues prepared at different temperatures, reducing agent ratio and additive ratio. The results show that the reduction yield of the alloy increases with the increase of the coke powder contents of reducing agent. When the addition ratio of coke powder is 30% and the reduction temperature is 1 550 ℃, the total recovery of the iron alloy reaches 89.6%. With the addition of additives CaO and Na2CO3, the separation effect of metal and slag is significantly improved. When the addition ratio of Na2CO3 is 6%, the nickel in laterite nickel ore will be reduced completely to the alloy. The retained austenite decreases and then transforms into martensite and improves the Rockwell hardness to 52.5.
