"Dephosphorization kinetics of bloated metal droplets reacting with bas" by Phillip Brian Drain, Kezhuan Gu et al.
Abstract 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 analyzing droplets after different reaction times. The mechanism of reaction between bloated metal droplets and slag was studied at 1 923 K fo...
