Popis: Evaluation of CAS-OB refining slags showed that the melting temperature and viscosity were very high and could further increase during the CAS-OB refining process, causing excessive slag to stick to the snorkel with resulting operational problems. To avoid this, B2O3–CaO (mass ratio 1 : 1) and CaF2–CaO (mass ratio 1 : 1) were employed as modifiers added to the slag. The fusibility (melting temperature and viscosity) and desulphurising capacity of modified slag were investigated. Both B2O3–CaO and CaF2–CaO can effectively lower the melting temperature and viscosity of slag. The results of experiments on sulphur partition equilibrium between metal and slag indicate that the sulphur content of metal can be further decreased by the modified slag.
