Steel cleanness is an important and growing research area driven by the demands to produce high quality steel. Inclusion content in steel is an important criterion to assess clean steel. MgO.Ah03 spinel inclusions cause problems in steel processing and are generally deleterious to steel products due to their high melting point and high hardness. Jnclusions are generally r· moved by rea ting with slag. This is primarily achieved by optimizing lhe PI' 'ess omliLions to promote contact and reaction between the inclusion and S,l,lg '. or efticient rem val from the steel the inclusions must attach to and dissolve in …

Indirect carbothermal reduction of alumina for the production of aluminium has been claimed to be better compared to the existing Hall-Heroult process in-terms of energy usage, generation of perfluorocarbons and overall greenhouse gas emission. In the process, alumina is reduced to an intermediate compound which is then further reduced to Al. It has been shown from the previous thermodynamic study by the authors that high conversion of alumina can be obtained if it is reduced to Al-chloride, Al-nitride or Al-sulphide. This paper deals with detailed systematic thermodynamic analysis of the process through carbosulphidation route, where alumina is first reduced to …

Indirect carbothermal reduction of alumina for the production of aluminum utilizes different reducing agents to convert alumina into intermediate aluminum compounds. In the present study, the carbosulfidation route for aluminum production utilizing H2S(g) as the reductant and sulfur source has been investigated, in particular the formation of AhS3 in the first step of the process. The results of the thermodynamic analysis predicted that conversion of Ah03(S) to AhS3(l) significantly increases above 1400°C at 1 atmosphere pressure. Experimental investigations were carried out at temperatures of 1100 to 1500°C using dilute H2S(g) gas in argon. The reaction products were analyzed using scanning …
