V. Seshadri et al., A KINETIC-MODEL APPLIED TO THE MOLTEN PIG-IRON DESULFURIZATION BY INJECTION OF LIME-BASED POWDERS, ISIJ international, 37(1), 1997, pp. 21-30
A kinetic model of hot-metal desulfurization by deep injection of synt
hetic powder mixtures is presented. The approach takes into considerat
ion the transient contribution due to the particles dispersed in the b
ulk metal and those located at the bubble-metal interface, the influen
ce of the carry-over slag as well as the volume and composition of the
top slag. The model has been utilized to assess the influence of the
treatment temperature, rate of injection of powder mixtures, gas flow
rate and initial concentration of sulphur over the desulfurization kin
etics. In the second part of this study an analysis of the industrial
data for injection of powder mixtures using this model is described.
