“…8,9 For dephosphorisation it is known that the controlling oxygen potential represents a dynamic relation between the iron oxide in the slag and the carbon in the hot metal/steel. 4,5,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Operational BOS models predicting phosphorus removal often approximate this to a factor that represents the slag iron oxide content such as Fe t O, or Fe t .…”

Phosphorus removal in basic oxygen steelmaking is a significant problem for integrated steelmakers. Phosphorus removal is required due to its deleterious effect on the mechanical properties of steel. However, this is progressively becoming more difficult due to the increasing phosphorus content of many iron ores. Many studies have investigated dephosphorisation and published empirical phosphorus partition (L P ) equations for a range of conditions. The structure of these equations has been used to develop a new partition relation that allows the effect of minor slag constituents such as TiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 and V 2 O 5 on steel dephosphorisation to be tested. Al 2 O 3 was found to have a weak negative effect on the measured L P , except at the lower oxygen potential range tested, where a positive correlation was observed. Increasing TiO 2 and V 2 O 5 contents were found to decrease the measured L P ; however, these correlations became less prevalent at the higher oxygen potential ranges tested.
