De-Siliconisation
De-Phosphorisation
2[P]+5(FeO)+3(CaO) = (3CaO.P2O5) + 5[Fe]
For effective removal of Phosphorous
slag of high basicity and low
temperature are favourable.
De-Phosphorisation increases with
increasing FeO % in slag.
De-Sulphurisation
[S] + (CaO) = (CaS) + [O]
For removal of Sulphur, slag of high basicity,
high bath temp. and reducing condition are
favourable. Since BOF steel making is not a
reducing process Sulphur removal is only to
the extent of 30 – 40 %. Higher Slag volume
has a positive effect on Sulphur reduction,
but this in turn adversely effects the
converter life. Hence hot metal having high S
% is not desirable in BOF process.
