Formation Mechanism of Titanium Carbide in Titanium-bearing Blast Furnace Slag

PROCESSING OF TiO2 FROM TITANIUM-BEARING BLAST FURNACE SLAG AS TITANIUM SOURCE

X. Li, H.H. Yu, Z. H. Fang, Z. G. Yuan, School of Material Science and Engineering, Shenyang Ligong University, Shenyang, China; X. X. Xue, School of Material and Metalurgy, Northeastern University, Shenyang, China The titanium dioxide(TiO2) was prepared by efficient decomposition of titaniumbearing blast furnace slag (TBBFS) in molten salt system. The as-prepared TiO2 were characterized by X-r...

Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag

1. Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) is a by product of the steel industry. Blast furnace slag is defined as “the non-metallic product consisting essentially of calcium silicates and other bases that is developed in a molten condition simultaneously with iron in a blast furnace.” [1] In the production of iron, blast furnaces are loaded with iron o...

Protection Mechanisms for Blast Furnace Crucible Using Titanium Oxides

In modern steelmaking the duration of a working campaign for a blast furnace is related to the life of the crucible. Adding titanium oxide has been a frequent practice in the operation routines for modern blast furnaces, seeking the protection of the crucible walls, independently from its physical or chemical characteristics. These practices, as conventional operation of iron and steelmaking in...
