Despite the unit consumption and the same treatment conditions, the desulfurization rate was high at the end of the furnace as shown in Table 3 and low in the new furnace.

- the amount of reflux gas is set to be constant regardless of the erosion of the RH immersion tube, and the flow rate of the molten steel depends on the inner diameter of the immersion tube.
- Figure 7 shows the 100-ton scale RH equipment used in the desulfurization test (reflux gas amount 500N1 / The relationship between the inner diameter of the submerged pipe and the flow rate of the molten steel ring in the initial, middle, and end stages of the furnace charge of the RH vacuum furnace refractory at min-constant) is shown. The flow rate of the molten steel ring gradually increases from the early to the end of the furnace cost I understand.

The results are shown in FIG. When the flow rate of molten steel is large, the desulfurization rate is constant regardless of the flux supply rate, but when the flux rate of molten steel is small, the desulfurization rate decreases as the flux supply rate increases. And the desulfurization efficiency decreased.
- the desulfurization rate can be maintained at a high level if the ratio of the flux supply rate to the molten steel ring flow rate is 1.5 or less. If it exceeds this value, the desulfurization rate decreases.

- the RH vacuum tank refractory is used. Through one furnace cost, the desulfurization rate can be stabilized at a high level, and the unit flux can be stabilized at a low level.
- the molten steel flow rate indicates the mass flow rate (tonZmin) of the molten steel circulating between the RH vacuum tank and the ladle.
- the molten steel ring flow rate can be adjusted by controlling the Ar gas flow rate for reflux and the degree of vacuum in the tank.
- the lower limit of F / Q is 0.5. In other words, if the value of FZQ is less than 0.5, the powder supply speed is low and the refining time by the refining flux is prolonged. Also, it is not preferable because the molten steel ring flow rate becomes extremely large and promotes the wear of the refractory of the immersion pipe.
- a flux of 80% CaO-20% CaF 2 is used as a hard-to-melt flux at a flow rate of 2 kg / t.
- the oxygen-containing gas flow rate was set at 460 Nm 3 / hr in terms of pure oxygen, LNG was used as the fuel gas, and the flow rate was set at 200 Nm 3 hr, which was sufficient for complete combustion with oxygen. .

- the desulfurization rate was higher when the carrier gas was oxygen-enriched air than argon and pure oxygen was used.
- the high desulfurization rate despite the fact that the flux is difficult to melt, is due to the use of oxygen-enriched air carrier gas as described above before flux enters the molten steel. This is considered to be because the diffusion temperature at which the flux temperature increased and S in the molten steel immediately after the flux entered the molten steel penetrated into the flux was large, and the desulfurization reaction proceeded quickly.
- the carrier gas of the purification flux from argon gas, which is an inert gas, to oxygen-enriched air and then to pure oxygen gas, it is possible to achieve a better balance of inert gas than when using an inert gas.
- argon gas which is an inert gas
- oxygen-enriched air oxygen-enriched air
- pure oxygen gas oxygen-enriched air
- the temperature of the burner flame formed above the molten steel surface below the lower end increases. This is because the temperature of the refining flux upon reaching the surface of the molten steel increases due to the increase in the flame temperature, and the diffusion rate of [S] into the flux further increases.
- the present inventor conducted a similar test (using a desulfurizing material of 80% CaO—20% CaF 2 at 2 kgZt) using the vacuum purifying apparatus and system shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- Fig. 10 shows the test results. Similar to the results in Fig. 11, although the flux composition is difficult to melt and has low reactivity, the oxygen-enriched air (When the oxygen enrichment rate is 60%), the desulfurization rate (see Fig. 9) is the same as that obtained when argon gas is used and the flux (40% CaF 2 ), which is rich in meltability, is used. And high and stable desulfurization rate with F ZQ of 1.5 or less.
- oxygen-containing gas When using pure oxygen gas and, yet hula Tsu box composition poor in molten difficulty rather reactive, ensuring 40% CaF 2 equal to or higher than the desulfurization rate rich fusible, and F / Q is A stable desulfurization rate of 1.5 or less can be ensured.
- an upper blowing lance that can simultaneously eject fuel gas and pure oxygen gas and form a burner flame below the lance and above the molten steel surface is used.
- the desulfurization rate is the highest when the same flux composition is used, because the higher-temperature flame is used than when using oxygen-enriched air. This is because the flux powder is more evenly dispersed in the burner flame than the upper blowing lance that is formed and has a built-in flux introduction pipe, and uniform heating is possible.
- the flux supply speed Z and the molten steel ring flow rate were maintained in the range of 0.5 to 1.5 using the upper blowing lance capable of simultaneously injecting the flux with the fuel gas, oxygen-containing gas, and carrier gas.
- the fuel gas, oxygen-containing gas, and carrier gas simultaneously blow out a flux to form a burner flame above the surface of the molten steel and heat the flux through the flame to reach the surface of the molten steel, or
- the flux is heated through the burner flame and reaches the molten steel surface using an upper blowing lance that can simultaneously eject gas and oxygen-containing gas to form a burner flame above the molten steel surface
- the molten steel table is heated from the lance by the inert gas such as argon gas and nitrogen gas, and the carrier gas such as other gases without heating the flux.
- the above-mentioned upper lance is desulfurized. It functions as a burner as appropriate during vacuum processing (vacuum degassing) except for time, and heats molten steel and refractory in a vacuum tank with a burner, and heats the refractory in a vacuum tank during standby during vacuum processing to produce a vacuum. It is possible to eliminate sticking of metal to vacuum tank refractories during processing.
- the desulfurization treatment has mainly been described above as a flux refining method.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is directed to a flux for achieving an extremely low oxygen content, a very low phosphorous content, and the like having a molten steel refining action. Also used for blowing powder.
- other vacuum degassing tanks such as DH type and straight-body type can be used for the vacuum purifying apparatus.
- the equipment scale was 100 tons, and the molten steel with the composition shown in Table 5 was desulfurized.
- Tables 6 and 7 show the conditions and results of the desulfurization treatment.
- the flux used had a composition of 80% lime-20% fluorite, and the particle size was less than 100 mesh.
- the upper lance 1 used a Laval structure with a throat diameter of 18 and an outlet diameter of 90 mm.
- the flux powder supply rate was 30 kgZ min.
- the T.Fe of the slag was less than 6%.
- the molten steel temperature before the treatment was about 1590 ° C.
- an argon gas was introduced using an RH vacuum degassing apparatus in which an upper blowing lance 1 having a built-in flux inlet pipe 5 for purification shown in FIGS. The same operation was performed when the flux carrier was used as the purification flux carrier.
- Samples Nos. 1 to 5 of the present invention have higher purification fluxes than the Comparative Examples of Samples Nos. 6 and 7 due to the higher flux of purification due to the higher burner flame.
- the reaction revealed that the unit consumption was reduced and the processing time was shortened.
- Samples Nos. 4 and 5 also have smaller basic units and shorter processing times than Sample Nos. 1 to 3. This difference in effect between Samples Nos. 4 and 5 and Samples Nos. 1 to 3 is caused by further raising or melting the refining flux due to dispersion of the powder in a high-temperature flame. It is.
- the flux used had a composition of 60% lime and 40% fluorite, and the particle size was less than 100 mesh.
- the lens used had a throat diameter of 18 mm and an outlet diameter of 90 mm.
- Pure oxygen gas flow rate was 460 nm 3 ZHR, was ejected LNG200Nm 3 Zhr from the fuel supply mosquito larva Mr.
- T.Fe + MnO of slag was carried out under the condition of 5.0% or less.
- the [S] concentration after the treatment became 10 ppm or less.
- the inner diameter of the RH immersion pipe is measured, the molten steel ring flow rate is estimated and calculated, and the ratio of the flux supply speed (kgZmin) to the molten steel ring flow rate (t / min) is calculated.
- the flux supply speed was adjusted to 1.5.
- the flux supply speed was measured without measuring the inner diameter of the RH immersion tube.
- the comparative example shows a case where the treatment was performed at a constant value (maximum value of the equipment capacity of the flux supply rate) over the RH vacuum tank and the furnace cost.
- the unit flux of flux in the embodiment can be processed at a low level and stable in the furnace cost. Also, the effect of shortening the treatment time, particularly in the initial and middle stages of the furnace, is clearer in the example than in the comparative example. Industrial applicability
- the reaction efficiency of the purification flux is improved as compared with the conventional burner heating / purification flux projection method, and the unit consumption of the purification flux is preferably used. Since the refractory can be reduced through one furnace cost, the industrial applicability is extremely large, such as shortening the processing time and reducing the refractory erosion.
