Abstract:

The purpose of this investigation is to understand the effect of FeO-CaO-SiO2-MgO-xAl2O3 slags with 12.0~26.0 wt.% Al2O3 content on dephosphorization of molten steel. The dephosphorization experiments of FeO-CaO-SiO2-MgO-xAl2O3 slags are evaluated by a heater of induction furnace at the temperature of 1823 K. The results show that the dephosphorization ability of FeO-CaO-SiO2-MgO-xAl2O3 slags significantly decreases with the increasing of Al2O3 content. The oxidative slag with 12.4 wt.% Al2O3 possesses the biggest dephosphorization ability (approximately 82.7%) in all conditions. When the Al2O3 content of oxidative slag increases from 12.4 to 25.7 wt.%, the dephosphorization ability decreases from 82.7% to 34.6%. P2O5 content of oxidative slag also decreases with the increasing of Al2O3 content. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results reveal that the Fe-based slag with 12.4 wt.% Al2O3 contains the constituent phases of FexO and Ca2Al2SiO7. As the Al2O3 content of Fe-based slag is above 22.1 wt.%, the constituent phase of FeAl2O4 is generated. The energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (ESD) results verify that the capacity of phosphorus of FeAl2O4 phase is the worst in all phases. The capacity of phosphorus for each phase is Ca2Al2SiO7 phase > FexO phase > (Fe,Mg)Al2O4 phase.
