Manufacturing steel from molten iron and recycled steel.
Blow Theory
Full Code

Module Type
E-learning
Description
Steelmaking is a complex process involving simultaneous multi-phase interactions, chemical reactions, heat transfer and turbulent flow patterns at high temperatures. The severe operating conditions make it difficult to measure and directly observe the process. Mathematical modelling has been widely used to evaluate the process, improve understanding of the system and optimise process control. In this module, a formulation of chemical reactions in oxygen blow and slag formation is described. Changes in metal composition in time are explained. After that, the chemical of dephosphorisation is treated. Finally, the different effects on dephosphorisation are shown through charts.
What you will learn
- Describe the chemical reactions in oxygen blow and slag formation;
- Explain the evolution in time of chemical reactions in the Basic Oxygen Steelmaking (BOS);
- Describe the dephosphorisation condition;
- Identify the different effects of dephosphorisation.
