Thermodynamic calculations and thermal analysis tests were performed to investigate the thermodynamic and kinetic behaviors of the carbothermal reduction of vanadium-titanium magnetite w(C)/w(O) and basicity on the carbothermal reduction process of vanadium-titanium magnetite based on the HIsmelt process. Thermodynamic analysis showed that the addition of basicity promoted the reduction of vanadium-titanium magnetite, and the reaction onset temperature gradually increased with the decrease of the valence states of the elements V, Ti and Fe in the product. Increasing the amount of carbon assigned to the system gradually increased the mass fractions of metal Fe and Fe3C and raised the mass fractions of Ti, V and their low valence compounds at equilibrium. Increasing the basicity had less effect on the Fe, V and Ti fractions of the equilibrium system. The results of kinetic tests showed that the maximum reduction degree and maximum reaction rate of the reduction reaction by increasing w(C)/w(O) and basicity increased, the apparent activation energy and the finger front factor decreased, and the reaction mechanism function of the non-isothermal kinetic reduction process was f(α) = (3/2)(1−α)4/3[(1−α)−1/3−1] −1 belonging to the three-dimensional Z-L-T diffusion model.
