Description
Refined fluorite pellet can be used in steelmaking and ferroalloy production, cast iron processes, and non-ferrous metal smelting. They lower the melting point of refractory substances, promote slag fluidity, facilitate effective separation of slag and metal, and assist in desulfurization and dephosphorization during the smelting process, enhancing the metal's forgeability and tensile strength. This dataset includes primary raw materials, auxiliary materials, and energy consumed during production; however, infrastructure such as production equipment and factory construction is excluded from the system boundary of the dataset. The life cycle inventory is compiled from data obtained from multiple sources. The production process of refined fluorite pellets includes feeding, roller pressing, drying, and packaging.
Activity Description
The production activities of this product include feeding, roller pressing, and drying and packaging.
Process Description
The main component of refined fluorspar pellets is calcium fluoride. This product is widely used as a flux in steel smelting and ferroalloy production, cast iron processing, and non-ferrous metal smelting. It can lower the melting point of refractory materials, promote slag fluidity, facilitate effective separation of slag and metal, and assist in desulfurization and dephosphorization during the smelting process, thereby enhancing the metal's forgeability and tensile strength.
