Quality of Lime for Steelmaking in Converter. Lime is a white crystalline solid with a melting point of 2572 deg C. It is a basic oxide and is used to react with the acidic oxides (e.g. silica). It is calcium oxide (CaO) produced on heating (calcination) of limestone (CaCO3) to a temperature of 900 deg C and above (usually 1100 deg C).
From 2016-17, cement grade limestone accounted for 97% of the total limestone production, followed by 2% iron and steel grade and 1% chemical grade.1 Limestone is a calcareous sedimentary rock mainly composed of carbonates. Calcite and dolomite are the major mineral components of limestone. Limestone frequently contains magnesium carbonate, either
Although concerns and debates exist, direct use of limestone to replace lime as converter slagging flux has been the subject of much attention in recent years [1, 2].The concerns relate to decomposition and dissolution behaviours of limestone during the steelmaking process, dissolution rate in converter slag, reasonable addition amount and proper adding moment.

The EU28 total lime demand in 2017 was estimated at about 20 million tons, out of which about 40% are consumed in the iron and steel industry. Steel remains the major consumer after environment and construction. The lime industry is quite mature and consolidated in developed countries, with enough reserves and production to serve regional markets while …
Directly charging limestone into slag in BOF is a newly emerging technique which broke through the traditional BOF slagging principle. It is necessary to study the decomposition behavior of limestone in converter slag during BOF steelmaking. FeO x...
In a blast furnace, iron ore is combined with coke and limestone which act as a reducing agent and flux respectively. Intense heat triggers a series of chemical reactions that strip away impurities and leave behind molten iron, also known as pig iron. Molten iron then undergoes a primary steelmaking process.
In the steelmaking process, lime (CaO)-based slag is used as flux to remove impurities in steel. Rapid dissolution of solid lime (CaO) into molten slag is required to maintain a high efficiency of lime (CaO) [1–4].The high-melting point 2CaO·SiO 2 layer formed at the surface of lime is one of the limiting factors that affect lime dissolution [], and the formation of …

In recent years, using limestone to substitute burned lime for slag formation in converter steelmaking process has been paid more attention despite the arguments about the decomposition evolution and microstructure of lime layer at steelmaking temperature [1,2,3,4,5,6], and many industrial trials of limestone steelmaking have been conducted based on the …
The UNE 36001 norm includes the following classification of steel products: Irons, steels, foundry or pig-iron, ferro-alloys, ferrous aggregates and special ferric alloys.Especially worth highlighting is steel, a very versatile material that accounts for 80% of metal production and which is obtained by mixing Iron (Fe) and Carbon (C).The carbon content in steel does not exceed 1.5%, whilst ...

Limestone plays a crucial role in the steel production process. It is primarily used to produce lime, which is an essential ingredient in refining iron into steel. The lime acts as a flux, which means it helps to remove impurities from the molten iron. During the steelmaking process, limestone is heated to produce quicklime.
The steelmaking industry uses products made from lime and limestone to facilitate the steelmaking process and to remove impurities in the steel.. This work requires the use of very high quality lime (above 95% CaO) as a cleaning or smelting agent. In lump form, lime rapidly produces alkali flakes with silicon dioxide in the steel batch, ensuring quick removal of sulfur, …

Moore, 1981, Szekely et al., 1989). In ironmaking and steelmaking, slags are basic, and the primary flux added is lime-bearing, although some acidic components are sometimes added.
