Definitions

  • the invention relates to an agent for the desulfurization of molten metals, in particular pig iron melts, which contains calcium carbide and / or calcium oxide and a carbon-containing compound.
  • desulphurising agents are used to desulfurize pig iron melts, which are introduced into the molten pig iron.
  • the agent is pneumatically injected into the melt with immersion lances using both mono-injection and multiple injection (coinjection).
  • EP 0 226 994 A1 discloses a fine-grained agent for desulfurizing molten iron, which consists of a technical calcium carbide, dried coal with a content of at least 15% by weight of volatile constituents and optionally fine-grained magnesium.
  • the agent described in EP 0 164 592 A1 again consists of a combination of calcium carbide, at least one hydrogen-releasing substance and magnesium.
  • US-A-4,159,906 describes a desulfurizing agent containing calcium carbide or calcium cyanamide and an additive which gives water or hydrogen at the temperature of the molten metal.
  • Preferred additives include alkali metal hydrides, polyethylene or polyamide for hydrogen formation, and a hydrate of lime and alkaline earth borates for water formation.
  • Desulphurization seeks to get by with as little desulphurising agent as possible. It consists m.a.W. the desire to bring as little desulfurizing agent in the molten pig iron and still achieve a high degree of desulfurization.
  • the present invention is based, which has the object to provide a means for the desulfurization of molten metal, in particular pig iron melts of the type mentioned above, which is more efficient than conventional means.
  • This object is achieved with an agent containing calcium carbide and / or calcium oxide and a carbon-containing compound and additionally an alkali and / or an alkaline earth metal phosphate in a total amount of 0.5-10 wt.%.
  • Suitable alkali metal or alkaline earth metal phosphate are ortho and metaphosphates, but also fluorophosphates, in neutral salt form and also as acid salts.
  • naturally occurring phosphates with mineral-typical admixtures such. Apatite, fluorapatite or hydroxyapatite.
  • carbonaceous compound e.g. Coal, urea, hydrocarbons, polyethylene, polyurethane or rubber, preferably in an amount between 0.5 to 15 wt .-%.
  • Particularly preferred is a content of 0.5 to 8 wt .-% of alkali and / or alkaline earth metal phosphate.
  • the desulfurization effect with the agent according to the invention is particularly pronounced if the alkali metal and / or alkaline earth metal phosphate is present in powder form with a grain size of not more than 0.2 mm.
  • the agent according to the invention can furthermore contain metallic magnesium and / or magnesium alloys, the proportion of magnesium and / or magnesium alloys being in particular between 2 and 35% by weight.
  • magnesium and / or magnesium alloys in powder form with a particle size up to 1.0 mm and the other ingredients of the inventive agent in powder form with a grain size of not more than 0.2 mm.
  • the invention further relates to a process for the preparation of the agent according to the invention for the desulfurization of pig iron melts, which process is characterized in that a mixture containing calcium carbide and / or calcium oxide, a carbonaceous compound and the alkali and / or Erdalkaliphospat is ground, whereupon optionally pulverulent Magnesium or a powdered magnesium alloy, each with a particle size up to 1.0 mm, is mixed.
  • the invention relates to the use of the agent according to the invention for the desulfurization of molten metals, in particular pig iron melts.
  • the invention further relates to a process for the production of desulphurised metals, in particular pig iron, and is characterized in that the metal to be desulphurized is melted, whereupon the resulting molten metal is brought into contact with the desulphurising agent according to the invention.
  • the sulfur content was determined to be 22 ppm, resulting in a K value of 1.318.
  • the sulfur content was determined to be 52 ppm, resulting in a K value of 1.588.
  • the mixture was mixed to a particle size in the range of about 0.5 mm with 2% metallic magnesium powder of the same particle size.
  • the sulfur content was determined to be 40 ppm, resulting in a K value of 0.930.
  • the mixture was mixed to a particle size in the range of about 0.5 mm with 2% metallic magnesium powder of the same particle size.
