Analysis of Oxidizing Reactions in an Oxygen Top Blowing Converter

Abstract

The authors represented the analysis of oxidizing reactions in an oxygen top blowing converter, assuming that the carbon-oxygen reaction in the converter is the metal-gas reaction as previously reported.
The other oxidizing reaction take place in close relation with the decarburization. The decarburization process in the converter is devided into three blowing periods according to its reaction characteristics, and the other reactions can be also explained relatively with decarburization in each blowing period.
On these basis, the reactions of dephosphorizaion and desulphurization in an oxygen converter were discussed mainly in terms of oxygen blowing by analyzing results of laboratory work and practical experiments.
