Description

Magnesia balls can be used in steelmaking converters for furnace repair and protection. This dataset includes major raw materials, auxiliary materials, energy inputs, and atmospheric emissions from the production process; however, infrastructure such as production equipment and facility construction is not included within the system boundary of the dataset. The life cycle inventory is compiled from data obtained from multiple sources. The production process of magnesia balls includes batching and mixing, pelletizing, curing, packaging, and warehousing.

Activity Description

The production activities of this product include processes such as material mixing, pellet forming, curing, packaging, and warehousing.

Process Description

Magnesia balls are mainly composed of light-burned magnesia powder and graphite carbon powder, processed and compressed into spherical shape. They can be used in steelmaking converters, effectively replacing part of the graphite carbon powder, achieving the effect of slag splashing for furnace protection, and reducing steelmaking costs.
