Introducing: The Seven Golden Rules for Desulfurization

Secondary steelmaking starts with understanding desulfurization, for if you know how slags and steel interact to desulfurize, you not only remove sulfur, but you ensure the optimum conditions for ladle life, deoxidation, alloy recovery, clean steel, reduced nozzle clogging, and ladle station efficiency and throughput.

Have fun going through this (check out the AI images); it’s meant as on intro. Unit 2 will get into more detail.

  • Test yourself on this lesson's content:

    1. Recite the seven conditions for effective desulfurization.

    2. Divide the seven conditions into three chemical and four physical attributes.

    3. Memorize the chemical equation for desulfurization using lime.

    4. Describe three ways that good slags are like good sponges
