This paper discusses the effect of the main parameters that affect the desulphurization
reaction efficiency. The study was conducted by evaluating different reaction sites within the metal,
the slag and the reducing agents. It was possible to establish a mass transfer model that determines
the amounts of the reducing agents needed to maintain adequate sulphur levels in the pig iron.
Industrial trials showed the accuracy of our model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
