Dephosphorization Kinetics of Bloated Metal Droplets Reacting with Basic Slag Containing TiO2

Although the dephosphorization kinetics of bloated metal droplets reacting with oxidizing slag have been studied in detail in the authors’ laboratory, the mechanism of reaction for slags in a basicity range typical of steelmaking, has been sparsely reported. The current study employed a high temperature furnace equipped with X-ray fluoroscopy to observe the bloating behavior of droplets and tracked dephosphorization kinetics by quenching and …
