description Vanadium titanomagnetite is an important mineral resource. It is a raw material for ironmaking, vanadium extraction, strategic metal titanium production, and titanium dioxide production. In this study, high chromium vanadium titanomagnetite (High-Cr VTM) and ordinary iron ore were used as raw materials for pelletizing. The effect of V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> on the preparation and properties of High-Cr VTM pellets was studied. The influence of V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> on the properties of the green pellets, the compressive strength of oxidized pellets, the reduction swelling index and reduction degree, softening-melting behavior, and the migration law of Fe, Ti, and Cr in the reduction process were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that with the increase in V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> content, the properties of the green pellets basically showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing but all met the basic requirements of pelletizing. When the added amount of V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> in the pellet was 6%, the compressive strength of the oxidized pellet was the lowest at only 2565 N/pellet but it still met the quality requirements for pellets in blast furnace production. As the dosage of V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> increased, the reduction swelling index and reduction degree of the pellets showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. The addition of V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> can increase the softening initial temperature, softening final temperature, melting start temperature, and dripping temperature of the High-Cr VTM pellets, narrowing the softening interval, and expanding the melting dripping interval. The experimental results provided a data reference for revealing the influence of V<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> on High-Cr VTM pellets during the blast furnace smelting process.
