The carryover slag (process defect) was proving to be a big hindrance for the company in terms of quality and annual gross production. The defect was successfully removed by suggesting appropriate optimization parameters. The project demanded adverse working condition and a rigorous data analysis, which gave me both physical as well as a mental exposure to the extreme working condition in an industry. Working under the guidance of the head of production and with other onsite operators and researchers gave me a good company revelation
The transport of the slag is an undesirable practice which can not be completely avoided during the extraction of liquid steel from the primary steel furnace. The steel slag produced in the primary section and the secondary sections are very different in nature, although the basicity of both is about 3. Therefore, the transport furnace slag of the primary steel furnace always produces some detrimental effect in the processing of liquid steel. Since the degree of medium carbon reflux steel is difficult to melt in the ladle furnace, the transport of primary section slag makes the process very tedious. An approximate quantification of the remnant of the slag was done by simply considering the mass / material balance for the materials involved in the spoon refining process.
