Comparison of iron desulphurisation using calcium carbide and lime-magnesium mixtures
Abstract
Experiments were carried out to compare the desulphurisation behaviour of commercial calcium carbide mixtures with that of lime-magnesium mixtures by injection into 400 kg heats of hot metal. It was found that the rate was higher for the lime-magnesium mixtures, while the utilisations based on stoichiometry were higher with the calcium carbide mixtures. The reaction rates for both types of reagent were improved by predeoxidation with aluminium. …
