As one of fundamental research on the refining of molten iron by sodium carbonate, the experiments were made of the dephosphorization of liquid iron by the flux added Fe
2O
3 or sodium carbonate (Na
2CO
3) to sodium silicate having various ratio of Na
2O and SiO
2 at temperature of 1 550, 1 600, and 1 650°C.
The results of these experiments indicated clearly the effects of addition of Fe
2O
3, slag basicity, temperature, and initial phosphorus content in liquid iron on the dephosphorization by the slag of Na
2O-SiO
2 system, and investigation also showed the refining actions of Na
2CO
3 in the slag.
Furthermore, a discussion was made on the equilibrium relationship of dephosphorization reaction by the slag of Na
2O-SiO
2 system, and a following expression was obtained;
2P + 5(FeO) = (P
2O
5) + 5Fe log
kp = log (%P
2O
5)/[%P]
2(%T.FeO)
5=8.67 log(%Na
2O)-14.55(1 600°C)
From the comparison of this expression with that of the slag of CaO system reported previously, it became clear that the dephosphorization by the slag of Na
2O system is more effective than by that of CaO system.
