Analysis of Fused Magnesia Production Process with 3000kVA Electric Arc Furnace

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present study is related to a process development for producing high purity fused magnesia. A newly designed 3000 kVA electric arc furnace is used in the field experiment. The electric resistance characteristic of fused magnesia is analyzed and the effect of electrode diameters and electrode depth buried in molten magnesia on melting electric resistance and electric arc heat conversion are discussed in detail. It shows that, for the new 3000 kVA electric arc furnace, 350~450 mm diameter electrode and ~300mm depth in molten magnesia are suitable.
