The smelting-separation process for metallized pellets of vanadium-bearing titanomagnetite concentrates was studied.The influences of smelting temperature,smelting time,and the basicity of the metallized pellet on vanadium and iron recovery were investigated.The characteristics of titanium slag were analyzed using X-ray diffraction,energy dispersive spectroscopy,and mineralographic microscopic analysis.The results demonstrate that appropriate increases in smelting temperature and smelting time can improve the vanadium and iron recovery from metallized pellets and are beneficial for the slag-iron separation.Although increasing the basicity of the metallized pellet can considerably improve the vanadium and iron recovery,the TiO_2 grade of titanium slag was decreased.Under the optimal conditions,90.17% of vanadium and 92.98% of iron in the metallized pellet were recovered,and the TiO_2 grade of titanium slag was 55.01%.It was found that anosovite,augite,spinel,glassiness,and metallic iron were the main mineral phases of the titanium slag.

Although increasing the basicity of the metallized pellet can stabil improve the vanadium and iron recovery, the TiO 2 grade of titanium slag was decreased. Bunder the optimal conditions, 90.17% of vanadium and 92.98% of iron in the metallized pellet were recovered, and the TiO_2 grade of titanium slag was 55.01% .It was found that anosovite, augite, spinel, glassiness, and metallic iron were the main mineral phases of the titanium slag.
