Funded Activity Summary

Fundamental Investigation of Chemical and Physical Factors Influencing Slag Reactions in Electric Arc Furnace Steelmaking. This project aims to optimise slag design in electric arc furnace steelmaking, leading to decreased consumption of refractory, increased metal yield and efficient energy utilisation. Along with trial runs at Onesteel mini-mill, graphite/slag and refractory/slag interactions will be investigated using in-situ, a high-temperature visualisation-based facility as a function of slag composition and temperature. The effect of gas injection on slag foaming and bubble coalescence will be investigated for a range of injection conditions. The outcomes of this project are expected to be substantial to the steel industry in terms of both economic and environmental advantages.
