Abstract
The desulfurization capacity of top slag in the process of pre-desulfurization of hot metal containing vanadium and titanium was researched. The top slag system of CaO-SiO2-MgO-Al2O3-TiO2-VOx that was formed by blast furnace slag and a CaO desulfurization agent reduced the sulfur in hot metal from 0.08 wt.% to 0.02 wt.%. It was found that the resulfurization of the slag happened in the later periods of the desulfurization process. The vanadium–titanium oxides were both acidic in the desulfurization slag. TiO2 and VOx reacted with the basic oxides to form CaTiO3 and MgV2O4 at 1623 K, which reduced free CaO and was not conducive to top slag desulfurization. The results of calculation showed that the top slag desulfurization accounted for 15% of the total desulfurization. Using the ionic and molecule coexistence theory of slag structure, it is shown that the desulfurization efficiency could be enhanced by adjusting both the amount of desulfurization agent and the composition of the blast furnace slag before pre-desulfurization.
期刊介绍:
Metals (ISSN 2075-4701) is an open access journal of related scientific research and technology development. It publishes reviews, regular research papers (articles) and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Metals provides a forum for publishing papers which advance the in-depth understanding of the relationship between the structure, the properties or the functions of all kinds of metals.
