Chapter 9 - Oxygen Steelmaking Processes
نویسنده
چکیده
The oxygen steelmaking process rapidly refines a charge of molten pig iron and ambient scrap into steel of a desired carbon and temperature using high purity oxygen. Steel is made in discrete batches called heats. The furnace or converter is a barrel shaped, open topped, refractory lined vessel that can rotate on a horizontal trunnion axis. The basic operational steps of the process (BOF) are shown schematically in Fig. 9.1.

متن کاملUtilization of ironmaking and steelmaking slags
smelting of hammerable iron and its treatment in antiquity and Medieval produced also by-product: slag. Because of small yields of iron the process produced only small amounts of slag that did not attract attention of smelters concerning its possible use. the use of slag pieces was only accidental. a lot of slag pieces and blocks from slag pit shaft furnaces were used as a material for mound bu...
متن کاملLow-temperature formation and degradation of chlorinated benzenes, PCDD and PCDF in dust from steel production.
Dust from thermal processes may catalytically enhance the formation of chlorinated aromatic compounds under oxygen-rich conditions. The activities of two dust samples from electric arc furnaces and one from iron ore-based steelmaking (oxygen converter) were investigated in a laboratory experiment. The dust samples were heated at 300 degrees C for 2 h in an air atmosphere. The concentrations of ...
متن کاملBasic oxygen furnace based steelmaking processes and cleanliness control at Baosteel
Optical microscopy, total oxygen measurements and slime tests have been conducted to quantify the size distribution and amount of inclusions at various processing steps during basic oxygen furnace (BOF) based steel production at Baosteel. The effects on steel cleanliness of specific operational improvements during steel refining and continuous casting have been investigated. Such improvements t...
متن کاملStudy on Productive Process Model Basic Oxygen Furnace Steelmaking Based on RBF Neural Network
The endpoint temperature and carbon content of basic oxygen furnace (BOF) are the control of the BOF steelmaking process. There exists a complex relationship among them and each control variable. While the multiple linear model is limited to predict the endpoint temperature and carbon content through each control variable, and the online continue measurement can’t be made. So the predictive mod...
