Based on a two-film theory kinetic model and experimental results, it was found that the overall mass transfer coefficient, which includes the effects of mass transfer in both the slag phase and metal phase, is in the range of 0.0047 to 0.0240 cm/s. With the addition of a small amount of fluxing agents A1203 or Na20 into the slag, the overall mass transfer coefficient has an obvious increase. Silicon content in the hot metal also influences the overall mass transfer coefficient. The overall mass transfer coefficient in the lower [Si] heat is much higher than that in the higher [Si] heat. It is concluded that both fluxing agents and lower [Si] hot metal facilitate mass transfer of phosphorus in liquid phases. Fur- thermore, the addition of Na20 could also prevent rephosphorization at the end of the experiment.展开更多

The influence of EDTA, TBAOH, solution pH and organic modifier on retention behavior of V-EDTA complexes was investigated. Complexed Ⅴ(Ⅲ), Ⅴ(Ⅳ) and Ⅴ(Ⅴ) ions can be separated and quantified in 5 min, with detection limits of 0.04 mg/L Ⅴ(Ⅲ), 0.07 mg/L Ⅴ(Ⅳ), and 0.06 mg/L Ⅴ(Ⅴ), respecti vely. The established method is applied to analyzing the hazardous waste of V-Cr-bearing reducing slag and results demonstrate 49.94% of its Ⅴ element to be toxic Ⅴ(Ⅴ). This work opens a new avenue for quick and accurate toxicity assessment of hazardous wastes containing multivalent heavy metals.展开更多

The phosphorus capacity and the melting properties of the slag are critical parameters for optimizing the slag formation path. Regarding these two factors, the phosphorus partition ratio was calculated using the regular solution model (RSM), whereas the liquidus diagrams of the slag systems were estimated using the FactSage thermodynamic package. A slag formation path that satisfies the different requirements of dephosphorization at different stages of dephosphorization in a converter was thus established through a combination of these two aspects. The composition of the initial slag was considered to be approximately 15wt%CaO-44wt% SiOz-41wt%FeO. During the dephosphorization process, a slag formation path that follows a high-iron route would facilitate efficient dephosphorization. The composition of the final dephosphorization slag should be approximately 53wt%CaO-25.Swt% SiO2-21.5wt%FeO. The composition of the final solid slag after dephosphorization is approximately 63.6wt%CaO-30.3wt%SiO2-6. 1wt%FeO.展开更多
