Aong the falls ica with vanadiu. Consider the absence in the Republic of Bulgaria of raw aterials containing vanadiu for exaple, the needs of etallurgy are provided ainly by iports of ferro-alloys. At the sae tie our country has an active cheical and etallurgical industries where significant polluting quantities of vanadiu catalyst drop fro production of sulfuric acid, which contains i and V. Both aterial and heat balance odels are developed for carbotheral producing of ica with a high content of vanadiu. Vanadiu waste, etallurgical lie and etallurgical are the raw aterial. The eleents in the alloy after the carbotheral reduction are: V 9.09 %, Fe 9.06 %, i 66.4 %, Ca.6 %, 0.0 %, 0.04 %, C 0. %, Al.8 % и n 0.0 %. The ain contributor into the alloy of V, i and Fe is the waste vanadiu catalyst. The relative consuption of electricity according to the heat balance odel is 0 kwh/ton alloy. Keywords: vanadiu catalyst, lie,, ica alloy. INTRDUCTIN ica is used for odification and deoxidation of iron, steel and alloys. In separate studies it was prepared ica with the eleents vanadiu, zirconiu, titaniu, aluinu and others [ - ]. When alloying ica with vanadiu and subsequent alloying of the steel, its strength at reduced teperatures increases without reducing the ipact toughness. Currently, ica is produced ainly in the Russian Federation in accordance with the requireents of T [6]. The purpose of this study is to ake aterial and heat balance odel for producing ica alloy with higher content of vanadiu using vanadiu waste, lie and etallurgical. THERETICA CNIDERATIN AND REUT A aterial balance odel of carbotheral producing ica with increased content of vanadiu fro vanadiu waste. The coposition of the charge aterials is given in the Table.. ain raw aterial for the alloy is a waste vanadiu catalyst [6, 7] and secondary the etallurgical lie. etallurgical is used as a reducer.
