Abstract: A study was carried out on the formation of Ti(C,N) during smelting vanadium-bearing titanomagnetite in blast furnace and the influence of MnO content on reduction of TiO_2 in the slag containing high titania. The reduction of TiO_2 is restricted by MnOpredominantly at the slag-metal interface and no more at the slag-coke one. The formation of Ti(C,N) is remarkably restricted by MnO in the slag when the MnO content is about 4% and the basicity from 0.6 to 1.2 in the slag. MnO may also retards the reduction of SiO_2 and accelerates the desulphidation under certain condition.

Key words: blast furnace smelting, TiO_2 , reduction, slag, MnO
