Modelling decarburization in BF-BOF steel making

Abstract: 70% of the world’s steel production is conducted via the blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace (BF-BOF, Fig 1.) route using raw materials to meet the low residual, low inclusion requirements of the packing and automotive industries. CO2 is an unwanted bi-product of the process produced in high volumes given the scale of production. To comply with green legislation, the steel industry aims to reduce emissions by 50% by 2025 through process improvements and CCS. It is the subject of this proposal to determine the stress and dissolved carbon throughout the bulk bath samples by neutron diffraction. Together with on-going characterization of porosity and the previous model, this data will help determine the cooling rate of the sample and the contribution to CO2 production in the bulk bath of a BOF throughout processing.
