The present invention specifically provides a mold for continuous casting of steel, the mold comprising: a mold plate which is formed of a copper alloy, the front surface of which forms an inner wall surface of the mold, and the back surface of which is provided with a cooling water path; and a backup plate which is attached to the mold plate so as to cover the cooling water path. The mold is provided with a plurality of dissimilar material filled parts that are each formed by filling a recessed part, which is formed in a region including at least a meniscus on the surface of the mold plate, with a dissimilar material that has a thermal conductivity different from the thermal conductivity of the mold plate. The total cross-sectional area of the cooling water path on the back surface of the mold plate in a range that includes the region where the plurality of dissimilar material filled parts are formed is smaller than the total cross-sectional area of the cooling water path below the range.

Abstract

A reducing agent containing metallic iron and/or iron oxide is added to an oxide containing valuable elements which are Ni and/or Co and Mn and impurity elements which are copper and iron in an amount of 1.5 equivalent or less to obtain a mixed oxide. By heating the mixed oxide, the oxide is reduced to obtain metals. The metals are brought into contact with an acid solution to obtain a leachate. A sulfurizing agent is added to the leachate to precipitate the copper, and a leachate from which the copper has been removed is obtained as a copper removal solution. An oxidizing agent is added to the copper removal solution to precipitate the iron, and the copper removal solution from which the iron has been removed is obtained as a valuable element solution containing the valuable elements. Thus, a valuable element recovery method capable of removing impurity elements and selectively recovering Ni and Co can be provided.

Abstract

In this method, a reducing agent containing at least one member selected from the group consisting of iron metal and iron oxides is added to an oxide containing at least one valuable element selected from the group consisting of nickel, cobalt, and manganese and further containing copper and iron as impurity elements to obtain an oxide mixture. The oxide mixture is heated to reduce the oxide to thereby obtain metals. The metals are brought into contact with an acid liquid to obtain a leachate containing the valuable element and the impurity elements. A sulfurizing agent is added to the leachate to sediment the copper as copper sulfide, and the leachate from which the copper has been removed is obtained as a copper-free solution. An oxidizing agent is added to the copper-free solution to sediment the iron as iron hydroxide, and the copper-free solution from which the iron has been removed is obtained as a valuable-element solution containing the valuable element. Thus, the present invention can provide a method for recovering a valuable element, the method being capable of removing impurity elements.

Abstract

The present invention makes it possible to manufacture a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet of which the surface has a pleasing appearance lacking non-plating, and which has excellent delayed fracture resistance. This method for manufacturing a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet includes annealing a steel sheet in a non-oxidizing atmosphere and then hot-dip galvanizing the steel sheet. The annealing in the non-oxidizing atmosphere includes a first step and a second step. In the first step, a steel sheet is annealed for a predetermined time in a reducing atmosphere having a high hydrogen concentration and a predetermined dew point and temperature so as to reduce the Fe oxide present in the surface layer of the steel sheet. In the subsequent second step, the steel sheet is annealed for a predetermined time in a non-oxidizing atmosphere having a low hydrogen concentration and a predetermined dew point and temperature, and the hydrogen dissolved in the steel is discharged from the steel sheet. If necessary, an oxidation treatment for generating Fe oxide on the surface layer of the steel sheet in a prescribed oxidizing atmosphere is performed before annealing.
