Abstract:
This is an article in the field of metallurgical engineering, which proposed a new idea of mixing molten blast furnace slag with steel slag to achieve self-pulverization of steel slag, and systematically studied the influence mechanism of special components of CaF
2 and CeO
2 in blast furnace slag of Baotou Iron and Steel Company on the self-pulverization of steel slags. Using analytically pure CaO, SiO
2, CaF
2 and CeO
2 as starting materials, pure C
2S specimens were prepared with n ( CaO ) : n ( SiO
2 ) = 2 : 1, then different mass fractions of CaF
2 and CeO
2 were added, respectively. The effect of CaF
2 and CeO
2 on the self-pulverization behavior of C
2S was investigated by calcining the specimen at 1 450 °C for 1 h and cooling with the furnace. The results showed when CaF
2 was incorporated into C
2S and the content of CaF
2 was less than 2.5%, it had little effect on the self-pulverization of C
2S. However, when the content of CaF
2 was more than 2.5%, the specimen had different degrees of agglomeration, which affected the self-pulverization of C
2S. Considering that excessive CaF
2 would affect the environment, the content of CaF
2 should be controlled below 2.5%. When CeO
2 incorporated into C
2S and the content was 0.25%, C
2S could still be completely self-pulverized, but when the CeO
2 content was more than 0.5%, C
2S no longer self-pulverized.Therefore, the CeO
2 content must be less than 0.25 %, and the self-pulverization effect of C
2S was relatively good.
