Abstract

Abstract In order to improve the alkali metals discharge capacity of slag, the gas-slag balance method was used to carry out the slag alkali metals discharge experiments, the effect of slag composition on alkali metals discharge performance of slag was studied, some suggestions were put forward to optimize the alkali metals discharge performance of slag and the extreme value model was established. The results show that the alkali metals discharge ratio of slag decreased with the increase in the binary basicity and mass fraction of TiO 2 , and increased with the increase in the mass fraction of MgO, Al 2 O 3 and MnO. The change in slag composition led to the change in the solubility of alkali metal oxides in liquid slag, decomposition of alkali metal silicates, structure of the slag in liquid state and viscosity of the slag, and then affected the alkali metals discharge performance of slag. The ability of slag to absorb alkali metals was certain under the condition of fixed composition. With the help of slag alkali metals discharge extreme value model, whether the current slag meets the needs of blast furnace alkali metals discharge could be evaluated. The alkali metals discharge capacity of slag could be improved by optimizing the alkali metals discharge performance of slag combined with experiments and actual production.
