Limestone is used as a flux to assist the removal of impurities in the steel such as sulphur, phosporous etc Mostly, limestone is converted (calicined) to burnt lime first in a kiln before being Both limestone and dolomite are extensively used in an iron and steel plant in various processes Specification of limestone and dolomite for iron making is less rigid But for steelmaking limestone need to have very low SiO2 and Al2O3 since these elements require additional flux to neutralize them which increases the slag volumesLimestone and Dolomite and their Use in Iron and naces Fluxes are used in all of these processes, and either limestone or lime is the major flux component with some dolomite, dolomitic lime, silica, alumina, and fluorspar being used In ironmaking, the flux is added either by direct charging or through sinter and fluxed pellets In steel refining by the basic oxygen process, flux is addedMETALLURGICAL USES FLUXES FOR METALLURGY
In steelmaking processes, lime is the most important flux used to make slag Lime is made by the calcination of limestone by a rotary kiln or shaft furnace, and its size range is generally 7–35 mm in diameter Its main component is CaO and, by the JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard), the CaO content has to be 93% or more and the residual CO 2 Some silica in flux lime or limestone, as much as 15% or more may be found helpful in developing good steel furnace slags Higher sulfur lime may be used without undue harm also These two subjects will be covered later in this paper A very high percentage of flux lime for steelmaking Flux Lime Metallurgist Mineral Processing Engineer In steelmaking, limestone is used in calcined form For use in steelmaking, the SiO2 (because of its acidic nature) content in the limestone is to be very low preferably less than 1 % Also, the reactivity of the lime is to be very good, because of lesser time available since process of steelmaking is a very fast process The entire steelmaking Limestone – Its Processing and Application in Iron and

1 Introduction In BOF steelmaking process, highactivity lime has been widely used to form an appropriate slag as a medium for the removal of nonvolatile impurities from the hot metal treated 1,2) In recent years, however, great attention has been paid to the possibility of directly using limestone instead of lime in the furnace The main reason for such interest is that the implementation A process for recovering and using fines of flux, such as limestone, used in a metallurgical process, such as oxygen steelmaking The process involves collecting fines from a receiving zone (2), eg, with blower and baghouse equipment The fines so collected are then conveyed, as by a densephase conveyor (5), to a first processing zone (6) containing a first screening device (8) for screening WOA1 Method and apparatus for and Steelmaking as practiced in integrated steel plants Be able to understand basic layout of blast furnace, steelmaking shop and continuous casting process To develop computational and mathematical abilities to be applied for process design and control It may be C++, MATLAB, ExcelSolver, FlowBal, FactSage or any other language of interestIronmaking and steelmaking mmeiitmac
