Abstract

Electrical conductivity is a very important physical parameter in the process of electrolytic extraction of niobium from molten niobium-enriched slag or preparation of ferroniobium alloy by reduction melting separation in electric arc furnace. The effects of Nb 2O 5, CaO/SiO 2 ratio and TiO 2 on the electrical conductivity of CaO-SiO 2-Nb 2O 5-TiO 2-CeO 2-CaF 2 melt were studied by AC four-electrode method. The melt structure was studied by XPS to reveal the change rules of melt conductivity. The results show that the addition of Nb 2O 5 or increasing the CaO/SiO 2 ratio in the melt can depolymerize the melt network structure and effectively improve the melt conductivity, and the activation energy of the conductivity is negatively correlated with the Nb 2O 5 content and the CaO/SiO 2 ratio. With the increase of TiO 2 content in the melt, the melt network structure polymerizes, the melt conductivity decreases, and the activation energy of conductivity also showed a decreasing trend.
