  • a molding 1 of one body consisting of sodium carbonate (soda ash), portland cement, sodium hydroxide, water glass and water is contained in steel container 3.
  • 1 is the same molding having a homogeneous composition in (FIGS. 1 and 2 and having a recess 5 in the center part.
  • the steel container 3 which is filled with the molding 1 of desulfurizing agent having a homogeneous composition according to the present invention is placed on the bottom of the ladle 8 for molten iron in advance.
  • sodium hydroxide 2 is placed on the bottom of a steel container 3 and the molding 1 of desulfurizing agent having homogeneous composition as mentioned above is charged on the sodium hydroxide 2 to unite therewith.
  • the hole 5 vertical to the bottom is made in the center part of the molding 1 ha ving a homogeneous composition as mentioned above and sodium hydroxide is placed under a steel plate or a dampproof plate 6 in the steel container 3 so as to make it one body, and if necessary the upper part of the molding is covered with a steel plate or the like 4.
  • FIGS. 12 and 13 plural number of recesses 5 are made in the same molding 1 of homogeneous composition as mentioned above and single sodium hydroxide 2 contained in polyethylene bag 7 is placed in the lower part of the molding 1.
  • soda ash used conventionally as a desulfurizing agent is powdery, it scatters at the time of addition, is high in the addition loss and floats to the surface of molten iron due to the light specific gravity. Accordingly, it desulfurizes only the surface of molten iron and nearly all of the amount of addition may be made a slag.
  • a molded soda ash made into lumps by pressing is used. However, as it is industrially impossible to make the bulk specific gravity of a molding to more than 2 only by a pressure molding of soda ash.
  • the desulfurizing agent according to the present invention has such specific composition and form as mentioned above and is therefore very suitable as a desulfurizing agent for molten iron. That is to say, the molding of desulfurizing agent which can give the fixed adding quantity by the use of one or two of the molding is placed in the ladle for molten iron in advance. Therefore, there is no complexity in the operation for continuously or discontinuously adding desulfurizing agent to the ladle as seen in the conventional method.
  • the desulfurizing agent according to the present invention can be molded to make it a fixed amount of addition by using less than several pieces, it does not float to the surface of molten iron, and improves the desulfurizing ratio. Nearly the same extent of desulfurization is obtained, even if the amount used decreases to /2 to /3 of soda ash. Therefore, as it is desirable on the economical standpoint and the desulfurizing efficiency is high. It is not necessary to add in excess and the erosion of the furnace wall isless than before, and thus the life of the furnace can be prolonged.
  • Portland cement produces stable CaS by the substituent reaction of CaO occupying the greater part of its composition with Na s produced by the above mentioned reaction Formula prevents the resulfurization, and at the same time acts as a binder and is thus an appropriate material for the present invention.
  • water glass may be used in a quantity of to 4% by weight of it as a solid component.
  • sodium carbonate (soda ash) and portland cement are used or when sodium hydroxide is in the form of powder, it is preferable to use 0 to 4% by weight of water glass as a solid component.
  • single sodium hydroxide to be placed as required together with the molding of the above mentioned composition range comes into contact with molten iron, violently reacts, gives a stirring motion to molten iron and has a desulfurizing effect. It is appropriate to use such single sodium hydroxide in a range of to 30% by weight based upon the weight of the above mentioned molding. In case of using it less than 5%, the above efiect is not obtained and it is not necessary to use sodium hydroxide in the molding more than 30% by weight. Further, it should avoid to use more than 30% by weight of sodium hydroxide because the reaction of it with molten iron becomes only violent.
  • the present invention is to use known sodium carbonate as a desulfurizing agent for molten iron.
  • this is a desulfurizingagent which is made to a molding having a specific composition by mixing other effective components to sodium carbonate and in which sodium hydroxide is placed and made into one body and which, can considerably increase the desulfurizing rate compared with the conventional desulfurizing agents as shown in the before-mentioned examples.
  • Desulfurizing agent for molten iron is a molding of a homogeneous composition containing sodium carbonate (soda ash), portland cement, sodium hydroxide, if necessary waterlglass and water and if any necessary sodium hydroxide being placed in the lower part or the lower interior of said molding so as to make it one body and the molding being placed in container.
  • composition of said molding is a homogeneous one containing 53 to 85% by weight of sodium carbonate, 5 to 18% by weight of portland cement, 3 to by weight of sodium hydroxide, 0 to 4% by weight of water glass as a solid component and a suitable quantity of water.
  • the shape of said molding is one which is if necessary provided with one or more of holes reaching the bottom or of recesses.
  • Single sodium hydroxide which is placed in the lower part or the lower interior of said molding may be if necessary used in a range of 5 to 30% by weight of said molding.
