Abstract
Dissolution of alumina in stainless steelmaking slags was studied by conduc ting laboratory scale experiments on typical slags in the temperature range 1823-1923 K. The mechanism of dissolution was studied under the actual ste elmaking conditions where several phenomena such as simultaneous reduction of chromium, iron and vanadium oxides by carbon, in-situ gas generated due to the reduction, foam/emulsion formation occur. The kinetics of alumina di ssolution are studied under the influence of the above mentioned phenomena.
