Abstract

The purpose of the study is to decrease content of CaF2 in dephosphorization slag. The dephosphorization effects of CaF2 replaced by B2 O3 were investigated. The dephosphorization experiments were carried out at 1450 °C in air atmosphere. The results show that the melting points and dephosphorization ratios change little when CaF2 was replaced by B2O3. The dephosphorization ratios are all greater than 80% and melting points can meet the requirement of hot metal pretreatment. Because of the change of alkalinity caused by B2O3, the oxidation of slag increases with increasing of B2O3 contents. It is beneficial to pre-dephosphorization. As a result, for decreasing its pollution, CaF2 can be replaced by B2O3 to dispose fluoride-free pre-dephosphorization slag.
