Definitions
- a desulfurization composition for off-furnace use consisting of crushed particles of sintered material comprising 100 parts by weight of calcium oxide and 3 to 50 parts by weight, in total, of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of up to 30 parts by weight of'calcium fluoride, sodium fluoride, magnesi um fluoride, barium fluoride, and sodium silicofluoride, and up to 40 parts by weight, in terms of sodium carbonate, of sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, and sodium oxide.
- the ladle After adding the desulfurizer, the ladle is preferably vibrated, shaken, or stirred for thoroughly mixing the desulfurizer with the molten pig iron.
- Conventional desulfurizers for such purposes consist of calcium carbide (caC because calcium carbide has a high desulfurizing ability. For instance, by using 4 to 6 Kg of calcium carbide per one ton of molten pig iron, 0.05 percent of sulfur-content can be reduced to 0.01 percent, or 80 percent of desulfurization can be achieved by such addition of calcium carbide.
- Calcium carbide has another advantage in that it is available in solid phase and never melts by itself in the ladle while being stirred. Accordingly, such solid phase desulfurizer does not cause any chemical reaction either with the refractory bricks on the ladle wall, or with the blast-furnace slag. With the desulfurizer consisting of calcium carbide, sulfur once isolated from the molten pig iron seldom redissolves in the molten iron. Furthermore, the slag formed by the desulfurization by calcium carbide is easy to remove from the ladle.
- calcium carbide has a serious drawback in that it is rather expensive, and that it quickly reacts with water and generates acetylene gas which is very easily inflammable. Accordingly, extra care is necessary in handling calcium carbide.
- sulfur-capturing ability of the solid desulfurizer is extremely small, and reasonable sulfur-capturing ability can be obtained only after the calcium oxide is melted.
- a large amount solvent e.g., silica SiO alumina Al O calcium fluoride CaF has to be added. The use of large amount of such solvents tends to cool the molten pig iron.
- the molten desulfurizer consisting of calcium oxide corrodes refractory bricks of the ladle. Accordingly, such combination of quick lime and flux material is not suitable for off-furnace use, because it causes temperature reduction of the molten pig iron.
- the desulfurizing ability of such mixture in the case of pig iron containing 0.05 percent of sulfur is 50 percent when the mixture is added at a rate of 10 Kg of the mixture per ton of the pig iron, 60 to 65 percent when 20 Kg/ton, and 70 to 75 percent when Kg/ton.
- about six times in weight of such mixture has to be addedin comparison with calcium carbide.
- quick lime itself is fairly inexpensive, if a large amount of it is used, e.g., 20 Kg/ton, the total cost of desulfurizer consisting of such mixture becomes almost comparable with that of calcium carbide.
- the use of a large amount of desulfurizer results in an increase of slag, which means more man-hours for slag removal after the desulfurization.
- the overall efficiency of the desulfurizing process with such mixture is fairly poor.
- Japanese Patent Publication No. 29,867/1968 discloses a desulfurizer consisting of a composite slag made by melting a mixture of quick'lime, calcium fluoride (CaF soda ash (Na CO caustic soda (NaOH), and/or calcium carbide (CaC
- the desulfurizer of this Japanese Patent is suitable for final desulfurization of molten steel, which is refined in a special furnace, but it is not suitable for off-furnace pretreatment of starting molten pig iron for steel-making,
- an object of the present invention is to obviate the aforesaid difficulties of conventional quick lime base desulfurizer, which consists of a mere mixture of quick lime and flux material or amolten slag of quick lime with suitable additives, by providing an improved quick lime base desulfurizer.
- the desulfurizer of the present invention retains all the advantages of solid desulfurizer, inclusive of a desulfurizing ability which is comparable with that of calcium carbide.
- the desulfurizer of the invention is featured in its low cost, so that it is particularly suitable for the production of a large quantity of low-sulfur steel.
- the desulfurizer for off-furnace use consists of crushed particles of sintered material comprising parts by weight of calcium oxide and 3 to 50 parts by weight, in total, of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of up to 30 parts by weight of calcium fluoride, sodium fluoride, magnesium fluoride, barium fluoride, and
- sodium silicofluoride and up to 40 parts by weight, in terms of sodium carbonate, of sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, and sodium oxide.
- sodium carbonate refers to the number of sodium atoms in each of such compounds. For instance, 40 parts by weight of sodium carbonate is equivalent to 30 parts by weight of sodium hydroxide, as given by the following formula.
- Specimens of desulfurizer of the invention were prepared by adding 3 to 30 parts by weight of calcium fluoride having a particle size smaller than 0.3 mm, in 100 parts by weight of a main ingredient consisting of calcium oxide of a particle size smaller than 0.3 mm, sintering the mixture thus prepared at I,200,C to 1,600C, and crushing the sintered products to a particle size of 3 mm or less.
- Tests were made on the desulfurizing speed by using the aforesaid specimens which consisted of different amounts of calcium fluoride added in calcium oxide and sintered at I,300C. Each of the specimens for the tests was in the form of a sintered cylinder of 25 mm diameter and 30 mm height.
- the specimen cylinders of the desulfurizer were immersed in a molten pig iron at l,350C, which contained about 0.07 percent of sulfur. Each specimen cylinder was rotated in the molten pig iron at 200 RPM.
- FIG. 1 shows the variation of sulfur content in the molten pig iron as time elapses.
- the addition of calcium oxide alone does not cause any material reduction in sulfur-content of the pig iron, while the desulfurizing effects increase with the addition of calcium fluoride in the calcium oxide and the desulfurizing ability of the specimens of the invention containing more than I parts by weight of calcium fluoride is superior to that of conventional calcium carbide.
- the desulfurizing speed of the desulfurizer of the invention increases with the content of calcium fluoride of up to about parts by weight, but when the additional quantity of calcium fluoride further increases, e.g., to 35 parts by weight, the desulfurizing speed 7 decreases,. as shown in the figure.
- the desulfurizing speed of the desulfurizer of the invention saturates at a certain addition quantity of the aforesaid compound in calcium oxide, for instance at about 30 parts by weight of calcium fluoride per 100 parts of calcium oxide.
- magnesium fluoride, and barium fluoride also had a similar desulfurizing ability to that of FIG. 1.
- the suitable addition quantity of such compounds to calcium oxide was found to be 3 to 30 parts per I00 parts by weight of calcium oxide.
- the calcium oxide to be used in actual desulfurization at plant can be replaced with calcium carbonate (CaCO or calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH) which are less expensive than calcium oxide.
- the sintering temperatures of I,200C to 1,600C also apply to calcium carbonate and calcium hydroxide base desulfurizers, which are crushed into a particle size of 4 mm of less.
- a suitable binder such as sodium dihydrogen phosphate, calcium chloride, starch, and clay.
- the pellets of the desulfurizer is improved, so that during the sintering process, the shape of the desulfurizer pellets can be kept intact, and its workability is improved.
- calcium oxide alone is not effective in desulfurization, and what is effective in desulfurization seem to be dispersed mixture of calcium compound and the added compound, e.g., calcium fluoride, which mixture has a structure consisting of molecules of the ingredient compounds well dispersed therein by the sintering process. Such fact was confirmed by microscopic tests of the desulfurizer after the desulfurizing process.
- the particle size of the ingredients in the desulfurizer is too large, the sintering time increases. More particularly, if the particle size of the ingredients exceeds 0.3 mm, it is difficult to produce desulfurizer having a sufflcient desulfurizing ability by sintering at I ,200C, for several hours.
- Table I shows the desulfurizing ability of simple mixtures of calcium oxide and calcium fluoride.
- Table 2 shows the desulfurizing ability of the sintered desulfurizers of the invention.
- Table 2 also indicates the desulfurizers of non-sintered quick lime base desulfurizers containing calcium fluoride and sodium fluoride.
- the desulfurizing ability, or the rate of desulfurization, of Tables I and 2 were determined by adding the desulfurizers in about 60 tons of molten pig iron carried by a ladle, and stirring the contents of the ladle by a gate-type impeller.
- the desulfurizers of Table 2 were prepared by mixing calcium oxide having a particle size of about 0.2 mm with calcium fluoride having a similar particle size, sintering the mixture at I,300C for 30 minutes, and then crushing the sintered products into a particle size of about 2 mm.

- Desulfurizers of the invention consisting of calcium carbonate and sodium silicofluoride were prepared by thoroughly mixing ingredients as shown in Table 5, each having a particle size of about 0.2 mm,- sintering the mixture at 1,300C for 30 minutes, and crushing the sintered product into particles of about 2 mm particle I size.
- the sintered and crushed desulfurizer of the present invention has excellow sintering temperature is as low as that of simple mixture of the ingredients.
- the desulfurizing ability of the products is not improved but the cost of the sintering furnace and the sintering operation increases in vain.
- the excessively high sintering temperature is, of course, undesirable from heat economy.
- the particle size of the crushed particles of the sintered material is preferably smaller than 4 mm, in order to achieve the desirable quick desulfurizing speed for ensuring high efficiency in the desulfurizing process.
- the desulfurizer of the present invention is a kind of solid desulfurizer, and from the macroscopic viewpoint, the particles of the desulfurizer are not melted in the molten pig iron but the particles act to capture sulfur at the surface thereof from the molten pig iron. As the sulfur is captured, the active surface area of the individual desulfurizer particles becomes smaller to reduce desulfurizing ability, and the desulfurizing time increases. Accordingly, the particle size of the desulfurizer should preferably be smaller than 4 mm.
