Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

On molten iron having the P concentration of 2 to 4 mass % and having the Cr concentration of 0.3 to 1.2 mass %, a dechromization treatment is performed by adjusting a basicity (CaO mass %)/(SiO 2 mass %) of slag to greater than 0.1 and 1 or less and supplying an oxygen source with a molten iron temperature falling within a range of 1250 to 1500° C. to manufacture molten iron having the P concentration of 1.9 to 3.8 mass % and having the Cr concentration of less than 0.2 mass %.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method of dechromizing molten iron, comprising: on molten iron having the P concentration of 2 to 4 mass % and having the Cr concentration of 0.3 to 1.2 mass %, performing a dechromization treatment by adjusting a basicity (CaO mass %)/(SiO 2 mass %) of slag to greater than 0.1 and 1 or less and supplying an oxygen source with a molten iron temperature falling within a range of 1250 to 1500° C. and manufacturing molten iron having the P concentration of 1.9 to 3.8 mass % and having the Cr concentration of less than 0.2 mass %. 2 . The method of dechromizing the molten iron according to claim 1 , wherein the basicity of the slag is adjusted by setting an added amount of flux to 25 kg/t or less. 3 . The method of dechromizing the molten iron according to claim 1 , wherein a starting raw material of the molten iron having the P concentration of 2 to 4 mass % and having the Cr concentration of 0.3 to 1.2 mass % is steelmaking slag obtained by dephosphorizing molten iron manufactured in a shaft furnace. 4 . A method of manufacturing a phosphate fertilizer raw material, comprising: on molten iron having the P concentration of 1.9 to 3.8 mass % and having the Cr concentration of less than 0.2 mass % obtained by the method of dechromizing molten iron, comprising performing a dechromization treatment by adjusting a basicity (CaO mass %)/(SiO 2 mass %) of slag to greater than 0.1 and 1 or less and supplying an oxygen source with a molten iron temperature falling within a range of 1250 to 1500° C. on the molten iron having the P concentration of 2 to 4 mass % and having the Cr concentration of 0.3 to 1.2 mass %, further performing a dephosphorization treatment and cooling. 5 . The method of dechromizing the molten iron according to claim 2 , wherein a starting raw material of the molten iron having the P concentration of 2 to 4 mass % and having the Cr concentration of 0.3 to 1.2 mass % is steelmaking slag obtained by dephosphorizing molten iron manufactured in a shaft furnace.
