Product Description

Low Microcarbon Ferrochrome Refining Equipment


Detailed Introduction & Technical Parameters


Low-carbon ferrochrome (generally referring to C ≤ 0.10%, micro-carbon grade C ≤ 0.06%, ultra-micro-carbon grade C ≤ 0.03%) is mainly produced by the two-step refining process via electro-silicothermic method. The complete plant is a closed continuous/semi-continuous refining system, consisting of raw material pretreatment, silicon-chromium smelting, thermal mixing refining, flue gas treatment, automatic control and other systems.



1. Overall Process Flow


  1. Chromite ore, coke, flux → Submerged arc furnace smelting → Medium-carbon ferrochrome / Si-Cr alloy
  2. Si-Cr alloy + chromite concentrate + lime → Thermal mixing refining furnace → Desiliconization, decarburization and refining
  3. Tapping → Casting / Granulation → Finished low-carbon ferrochrome
  4. High-temperature flue gas → Waste heat recovery + dust removal purification → Emission up to standard



2. Core Equipment Introduction & Technical Parameters


2.1 Submerged Arc Furnace for Si-Cr Alloy


As the core upstream equipment for refining, it is used to produce high-silicon silicon-chromium alloy to provide reducing agent for subsequent decarburization.
