Why Is The Ferrovanadium Price Difference Between Different V

The specification of ferrovanadium

Ferrovanadium Production process is differences

Raw material ratio and processing

• In the production of ferrovanadium45, due to the relatively low vanadium content, the purity requirements for vanadium in the raw materials are relatively less stringent. During the production process, the required proportion of vanadium-containing raw materials is relatively low, and the ratio of other auxiliary raw materials will be adjusted accordingly to ensure that the vanadium content in the final product reaches about 45%. When processing raw materials, the degree of impurity removal is relatively low. Some impurities that need to be strictly separated in the production of high-content ferrovanadium can be appropriately relaxed in the production of 45 ferrovanadium. ​
• The production of ferrovanadium60 requires higher-quality and higher-purity vanadium-containing raw materials. In order to make the vanadium content of the product reach 60%, the proportion of vanadium-containing raw materials will be significantly increased in the raw material ratio, and the purity and ratio requirements of other additives will also be more stringent. In the raw material processing link, more sophisticated mineral processing and purification processes will be used to remove impurities as much as possible to avoid the adverse effects of impurities on the vanadium content and product performance. ​
• ferrovanadium78, as a high-content ferrovanadium, is more difficult to produce. Its production must use high-grade, high-purity vanadium ore or vanadium-containing waste as raw materials. In the raw material pretreatment stage, multi-stage purification technology, such as deep chemical leaching, ion exchange and other methods, will be used to control the impurity content in the raw materials to an extremely low level. In terms of raw material ratio, high-purity vanadium-containing raw materials are almost the main ones, and the addition amount of other auxiliary raw materials is very precise to ensure that the vanadium content of the final product reaches 78%.

Ferrovanadium Smelting process is different

• 45 Ferrovanadium often uses more conventional smelting methods, such as the electric silicon thermal method. During the smelting process, due to the low vanadium content and relatively mild reaction, the high temperature and corrosion resistance requirements of the smelting equipment are relatively low. The control of smelting temperature and time is relatively loose, and it is only necessary to ensure that vanadium and iron are fully integrated and the specified vanadium content is reached.
• 60 The smelting of ferrovanadium requires more precise process control. When using the electric silicon thermal method or the aluminum thermal method, the amount of reducing agent, reaction temperature and time are more strictly controlled. In order to fully reduce vanadium and combine with iron, it is necessary to accurately adjust the smelting parameters according to the characteristics of the raw materials, and at the same time, it is necessary to prevent excessive smelting from causing impurities to mix in and affect product quality.
• 78 The smelting process of ferrovanadium is more complex and delicate. Advanced vacuum smelting technology or plasma smelting technology is usually used to ensure that vanadium can be combined with iron to the maximum extent under high temperature and high vacuum environment, and impurities can be effectively removed. During the smelting process, parameters such as temperature, pressure, and raw material addition rate need to be monitored and adjusted in real time, which requires extremely high technical level of operators and automation of equipment.

Ferrovanadium Production cost​ is different

• 45 ferrovanadium has a relatively simple production process and low raw material requirements, so its production cost is relatively low. The energy consumption, equipment loss and raw material procurement costs in its production process are relatively small, which makes the price of 45 ferrovanadium relatively affordable in the market.
• The production cost of 60 ferrovanadium has increased due to the higher quality requirements of raw materials and the complex smelting process. The higher purity raw material procurement cost and the increased energy and equipment loss caused by more sophisticated process control make the price of 60 ferrovanadium higher than that of 45 ferrovanadium.
• 78 ferrovanadium is a high value-added product with extremely high production cost. The scarcity of high-grade raw materials leads to expensive procurement costs, advanced smelting technology requires a lot of equipment and R&D costs, and the energy consumption in the production process is huge. These factors make the price of 78 ferrovanadium the highest among the three ferrovanadiums.
