Titanium Transfer in Slag/Metal Systems for Ironmaking

The smelting of titaniferous magnetite in blast fuynace in China is unique in the nature of problems and their solutions. Fundamentals of this successful technology will be discussed. Topics to be covered are: (1) the characteristics of high content TiO_2 in blast furnace slag; (2) influence of various factors on Ti transfer process; (3) raising oxygen potential for adequate fluidity of the slag with TiO_2 in the range of 25-30 wt-% and stability of TiC and TiN in slag.
