Description
Fluxing agent can be used to melt iron slag, allowing desulfurizers to dissolve fully and improving the efficiency of molten iron desulfurization; this dataset includes major raw and auxiliary materials and energy used in the production process, while infrastructure such as production equipment and factory construction is not included within the system boundary of the dataset; the data inventory is compiled from multiple data sources; the production process of fluxing agent includes procedures such as crushing, screening, bagging, inspection, and storage.
Activity Description
The production activities of this product include crushing, screening, bagging, inspection, and storage.
Process Description
The main raw material of the flux is granular fluorspar (primarily composed of calcium fluoride, with silica content controlled below 10% and sulfur content less than 0.2%). This product is added to the molten iron ladle during desulfurization. Calcium fluoride can melt iron slag under low-temperature conditions, promoting full dissolution of the desulfurizer and improving the efficiency of molten iron desulfurization.
