摘要

The laboratory experiment of the reaction involving high-aluminum steels and mold fluxes with 36 pct SiO2 and Al2O3 was studied. The variation of Na2O indicated that a lower Al2O3/SiO2 ratio led to a higher equilibrium concentration of Na2O in the mold flux. It was demonstrated that the reaction between Al and Na2O was progressively replaced by the reaction involving Al and SiO2 when the Al2O3/SiO2 ratio decreased. During the steel-flux reaction, the SiO2 content in the mold flux gradually decreased, shifting the rate-limiting step from mass transfer in the steel to mixed mass transfer in both the steel and mold flux. Hence, a multicomponent mixed-transport-control kinetic model was established to predict the composition change over the reaction time. The model considered the updating of the viscosity, density, and mass transport coefficients with composition at a given reaction time. The Equilib Module of FactSage was used to calculate thermodynamic equilibrium and the Macro-processing of FactSage was used to program and calculate the mass transfer within a time step. The kinetic model can be used to predict the composition evolution with reaction time.
