| Abstract: | The vacuum treatment for simultaneous desulphurization and dephosphorization of hot metal and molten steel with pre melted CaO based slag was carried out. For pre treatment of hot metal, both desulphurization and dephosphorization are improved with the increase of CaO in slag, but deteriorated with the increase of CaF 2 in slag. The average desulphurization and dephosphorization rate is 68 83 % and 78 46 %, respectively. For molten steel, the substitution of BaO for CaO in slag has minor effect on simultaneous desulphurization and dephosphorization. The desulphurization and dephosphorization rate is higher than 90 % and 50 % respectively with the lowest final sulfur and phosphorus mass percent being 0 001 2 % and 0 010 %, respectively. The overall effect of simultaneous desulphurization and dephosphorization of molten steel is better than that of hot metal. |
