| Abstract |
An injection method using CaCO₃powder and other additives as fluxes was employed for the desulfurization of molten pig iron. The results are as follows: 1. The injection method using CaCO₃powder appeared to have a very effective desulfurization by forming the porous and active fine CaO particles and stirring effect due to CO₂gas formed when CaCO₂gas formed when CaCO₃decomposed 2. Partially substituting of CaCO₃with CaO decreased the desulfurization degree as the content of CaO increase. This means that the ability of desulfurization of CaCO₃is superior to CaO. 3. All addition as reduction agent (deoxidizer) improved the desulfurization degree and this is attributed to the promotion of decomposition reaction of CaO into Ca＋O by lowering the oxygen chemical potential with formation of Al₂O₃. De-si and de-Mn reaction, however, were suppressed by the Al addition. |
