Included activities starts

The activity starts with the production and import of "Ferrosilicon heating agent" in this region.

Included activities ends

The activity ends with providing the "Ferrosilicon heating agent" to the consumers of this product. Transportation is included; however, product losses during transport are negligible and therefore not included.

Description

This is a market dataset representing the consumption market in the region. It includes transportation of the product from the factory gate to consumption, with transport services calculated according to the regional transportation conditions for the product.

Activity Description

The production activities of this product mainly include material receiving, weighing, mixing, conveying, pelletizing, drying, packaging and other processes.

Process Description

The product is primarily made by mixing ferrosilicon powder and carbon material powder, followed by pressing and baking into balls to produce a silicon-carbon heat-generating agent. It is added during the initial smelting stage in converters or electric furnaces, effectively providing additional heat, increasing molten steel temperature, accelerating slag formation, and improving the smelting process. Technical specifications of the product: Silicon: 22.0 - 28.0%; Carbon: ≥50.0%; Total Iron: ≥7.0%; Sulfur: ≤0.10%; Phosphorus: ≤0.10%; Moisture: ≤0.5%; Particle size: 20-50 mm (≥90%).
