Sulphide capacity of CaO-SiO2-Al2O3-MgO-TiO2-FetO slag with high titanium and high FeO content based on HIsmelt process

Abstract

ABSTRACT The sulphide capacities of CaO-SiO2-Al2O3-MgO-TiO2-FetO slags with high titanium and FetO were measured by gas-slag equilibration technique to reveal the effect of slag composition and temperature on the sulphide capacities of slags. The results showed that sulphide capacities enhanced with the increase of temperature, basicity, FetO, and MgO contents, TiO2 content increased first and then decreased in the range of 10 wt-% to 20 wt-%; the influence became negligible as the TiO2 content exceeded 25 wt-%. MgO significantly increased the sulphide capacities of slag in the range of 6 wt-% to 8 wt-%, continued to increase the MgO content, and the increasing trend of Log CS became slowly; FetO content increased from 3 wt-% to 9 wt-%, sulphide capacities increased slowly, increased dramatically in the range of 9 wt-% to 15 wt-%. Meanwhile, comparing the optical basicity models found Zhang and Tsao’s models are close to the experimentally determined values.
