IN THIS LESSON

Chemistry Ain’t Enough!

You need more than chemistry to make it work – you need to get physical! Ever have a heat that won't desulfurize even though the slag analysis is good? You just may have a few things to learn from a sponge! In this unit we are taking on Desulfurizing Conditions 4 and 5, the physical slag characteristics needed before we get the lonely sulfur and lime to meet each other. (Also includes a good review of everything we've covered so far.)

  • Test yourself on this lesson's content:

    1. Why would a thick and crusty slag be bad for the desulfurization reaction?

    2. Why would a thin and runny slag be bad for the desulfurization reaction?

    3. Why would having too little slag be bad for the desulfurization reaction?

    4. Why would having too much slag be bad for the desulfurization reaction?
