A study of environmentally friendly recycling of technogenic chromium and nickel containing waste by the method of solid phase extraction

The study has revealed the regularities of the effect produced by increasing the content of scale of steel 12Cr18Ni10Ti in the charge from 5 to 75 mass % on the contents of the products of carbon thermal reduction of oxide waste of corrosion-resistant steels. The concentration of Ni is increased from 0.8 to 7.0 mass % when the Cr content ranges from 15.9 to 17.1 mass %. The concentration of Cr in the extraction products within the range of 16.1–17.1 mass% is provided with the content of scale of 95Cr18 steel in the charge in the range from 5 to 55 mass %. It has been found that metallization products mainly consist of a solid solution of alloying elements in α-Fe. Fe 3 O 4 , Fe 3 C, and Fe 2 C were also identified. The microstructure of the extraction products is spongy and disordered. The particles are sintered, with varying Cr and Ni contents in the ranges of 7.47 to 18.03 mass % and 2.97–10.40 mass %, respectively. The study has helped achieve environmentally safe conditions for solid-phase extraction of chrome and nickel containing industrial wastes from the production of corrosion-resistant steels with the return of the alloyed product to the welding industry
