Description

Silicon ferrocarbon spheres can be used in basic oxygen furnace steelmaking with low hot metal ratio or low silicon content in hot metal; the dataset includes main raw and auxiliary materials, energy consumption, and atmospheric emissions from the production process, while infrastructure such as production equipment and plant construction is excluded from the system boundary; the life cycle inventory is compiled from data collected from multiple sources; the manufacturing process of silicon ferrocarbon spheres includes raw material mixing, stirring, ball forming, screening, drying, and packaging.

Activity Description

The production activities of this product include material mixing, stirring, granulation, sieving, drying, and packaging processes.

Process Description

Silicon-iron carbon spheres primarily consist of silicon and carbon, forming a pelletized shape. Compared to traditional carbon-based heat-generating agents, they have higher density, preventing them from being extracted by the converter's dust removal fan or combusted in the slag. This product is suitable for use in converter steelmaking with low hot metal ratio or low silicon content in hot metal.
