Steel Desulfurization
 Desulfurization

Calcium carbide (CaC2) is widely used as a desulfurizer in steel metallurgy. It is an efficient and economical desulfurization method that effectively removes sulfur generated during steel production, enhancing product quality and reducing environmental pollution.

  Desulfurization Principle

 During steel production, sulfur primarily exists in the form of sulfides within the steel. Calcium carbide desulfurization involves the reaction of calcium carbide (CaC₂) with sulfur in the molten steel, producing calcium sulfide (CaS) and carbon. This reaction can be represented as:
CaC₂ + S → CaS + C
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.

Common Challenges in Steel Desulfurization
Calcium Carbide Quality Issues
Excessive impurities in calcium carbide, such as phosphorus and sulfur, can adversely affect the desulfurization effectiveness, leading to the production of unnecessary by-products and increased production costs. Additionally, uneven particle sizes of calcium carbide can impact reaction rates and desulfurization efficiency, resulting in unstable desulfurization effects.
Reaction Control Issues
The reaction between calcium carbide and sulfur is exothermic. Improper design or operation of cooling systems can result in excessively high temperatures, posing safety hazards or causing the reaction to become uncontrollable. Additionally, both excessively fast or slow reaction rates can lead to inadequate desulfurization effects, affecting production efficiency and product quality.
Equipment Corrosion and Blockage
During the desulfurization process, the generated calcium sulfide and other by-products can corrode and wear down equipment. These by-products can also deposit inside pipelines and equipment, leading to blockages that disrupt production continuity and increase maintenance and replacement costs.
Handling of By-Products
The by-products generated during the reaction, such as calcium sulfide, need to be properly managed. Improper handling can lead to environmental pollution.
Safety Hazards
The desulfurization process involves high temperatures and chemical reactions, necessitating strict safety procedures and training to prevent operational errors that could lead to safety accidents.

Background Challenges
DEF Company is committed to the dual goals of improving steelmaking quality and environmental protection. However, under traditional desulfurization processes, efficiency is low, and the handling of carbide sludge by-products has become an environmental bottleneck.
02
Innovative Practice
We have tailored a carbide desulfurization solution for DEF. Leveraging the high-efficiency desulfurization performance of carbide, the desulfurization efficiency has been significantly improved by 25%. Additionally, we introduced carbide sludge recycling technology, transforming what was once considered waste into building materials and chemical raw materials, achieving a remarkable transition from "waste" to "resource."
03
Significant Results
Following implementation, DEF has not only greatly reduced sulfur emissions, thereby minimizing environmental pollution, but has also opened new revenue streams through the reuse of carbide sludge. This innovative practice represents a successful shift for DEF towards a circular economy model, yielding both economic and environmental benefits.
