The ferroalloy production operation (workshop) is the final link of the factory’s vanadium process stage, producing the commercial vanadium pentoxide according to STP 115-26-2004 standard, ferrovanadium according to GOST 27130-94 standard, and the nitrided ferrovanadium according to TU 14-115-24-96 specification.

Workshop Structure.

The ferroalloy workshop consists of the following interlinked process structures:

• Production of the commercial vanadium pentoxide located in the group of the chemical division buildings, including the following process stages:
• Charge preparation – preparing vanadium slag with obtaining unburned charge.
• Annealing – high-temperature oxidizing roasting of charge.
• Hydrochemical – water and sulphuric acid treatment of roasted charge converting vanadium into a solution and subsequently throwing the vanadium pentoxide residue out of the solutions.
• Production of ferrovanadium of various grades, including the nitrided ferrovanadium, located in the electrometallurgical division’s melting building;
• Lime production located in the lime calcining division’s group of buildings.
• Auxiliary production – a container shop producing packing spools for ferrovanadium; a protective coating shop; a turning shop.
