Study on Flow-Reaction Desulfurization of RH by Physical Experiment

  • Chapter
Materials Processing Fundamentals

Abstract

Powder injection desulfurization (PID) in RH was always applied to produce ultra-low sulfur steel, which was used for aerospace industry, marine and petroleum industry. The process of PID was divided into two processes: one was flow-reaction desulfurization and the other one was interface-reaction desulfurization, especially the flow-reaction desulfurization had a huge impact on desulfurization efficiency of RH. In this paper, based on similarity principle, including geometric similarity, dynamic similarity, vacuum similarity and slag-metal interface similarity, a new physical simulation experiment in which water, nitrogen and one special kind of oil were chosen as the substitutes of liquid steel, argon and desulfurizer was carried out to study on the influence rules of vacuum chamber pressure, driving gas flow and flow-reaction desulfurization efficiency, which would have an important guiding significance to the practical production.
