Effect of Special Components in Blast Furnace Slag of Baotou Iron and Steel Company on Self-pulverization Behavior of Steel Slags
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 CaF2 and CeO2 in blast furnace slag of Baotou Iron and Steel Company on the self-pulverization of steel slags.Using analytically pure CaO,SiO2,CaF2 and CeO2 as starting materials,pure C2S specimens were prepared with n(CaO)∶n(SiO2)=2∶1,then different mass fractions of CaF2 and CeO2 were added,respectively.The effect of CaF2 and CeO2 on the self-pulverization behavior of C2S was investigated by calcining the specimen at 1 450 ℃ for 1 h and cooling with the furnace.The results showed when CaF2 was incorporated into C2S and the content of CaF2 was less than 2.5%,it had little effect on the self-pulverization of C2S.However,when the content of CaF2 was more than 2.5%,the specimen had different degrees of agglomeration,which affected the self-pulverization of C2S.Considering that excessive CaF2 would affect the environment,the content of CaF2 should be controlled below 2.5%.When CeO2 incorporated into C2S and the content was 0.25%,C2S could still be completely self-pulverized,but when the CeO2 content was more than 0.5%,C2S no longer self-pulverized.Therefore,the CeO2 content must be less than 0.25%,and the self-pulverization effect of C2S was relatively good.
