Abstract:
      The process to produce ferronickel alloy with Ni>25% by laterite ores smelting reduction under condition of high oxygen level was put forward. High MgO-bearing smelting slag was proposed based on phase diagrams, thermodynamic calculations, and slag thermophilic properties. Metallurgical properties of FeO-SiO2-CaO-MgO-Al2O3 pentad slag were verified and effect of MgO on slag was analyzed. The results show that the slag with MgO content of 19%~21% has low melting temperature and suitable viscosity. NiO content in slag can be controlled at 0.05% below.
