Steel Desulfurization Process

The world's leading calcium carbide supplier.

Desulfurization

Desulfurization Principle: CaC₂ + S → CaS + C

Deoxidation Principle:CaC₂ + O₂ → CaO + CO₂

Function:

In the steelmaking process, calcium carbide is used to remove sulfur from molten steel, reduce oxygen content, improve the toughness and strength of the steel, and enhance the overall quality of the steel.

Applications:

The amount of calcium carbide used for desulfurization is typically 5-10 kg per ton of steel.

The amount of calcium carbide used for deoxidation is usually 2-6 kg per ton of steel.

Calcium carbide is widely used in electric arc furnaces and converter steelmaking processes, producing various types of carbon steel, alloy steel, special nitrided steel, and other steel grades.

Desulfurization Process

Calcium carbide can be introduced into molten steel in the form of blocks, powder, or granules. There are mainly two methods for desulfurizing molten steel: blowing and stirring.

Blowing involves uniformly spraying calcium carbide powder into molten steel using a blowing device. This method excels in desulfurization efficiency and uniform mixing, making it suitable for applications demanding high desulfurization effectiveness.

On the other hand, stirring directly adds calcium carbide material into the molten steel, utilizing mechanical equipment to mix the steel and calcium carbide. This method is simpler and more flexible, suitable for production environments of various scales.

The choice of desulfurization method typically depends on specific production needs, cost considerations, and equipment conditions.
