Most important chemical reactions:
• Decarburization : [c] + o = co
• Manganese reaction : [Mn] + o =(MnO)
• Desiliconizing : [Si] + O = (SiO2)
(SiO2) + (CaO) = (2Cao.SiO2)
• Dephosphorization : [P] + O = (P2O5)
(P2O5)+ (CaO) = (3 CaO.P2O5)
• Iron Combustion : [Fe] + O = (FeO)• Desulphurization : [S] + (CaO) = (CaS) + O

FOAMY SLAG
• Principle of foamy slag – emulsion of metal droplets and gas bubbles in slag
• First step C(Steel)+ O =CO –bubbles
Gives energy
• Second step• Feo(slag) + C = Fe(back to steel) + CO- bubbles
Costs energy
• Third Step• C(slag) + O = CO – bubbles
• Fe + O= FeO
Gives energy

Advantage of modern developmentin EAF
Advantage of Foamy slag practice• Decrease electrical energy consumption• Increase refractory life and panel life• Reduce nitrogen problem by shielding effect• Decrease electrode consumption• Increase productivity
Advantage of UHP• Enables Faster melting of solid charge• Decrease tap to tap time hence increase productivity
Advantage of oxygen lancing• Faster removal of carbon & other impurities • Faster generation of foamy slag

Main function of LRF:
1.Refining of steel2.Achieving desired chemistry as per the requirement by adding various Ferro alloys.3.Thermal and Chemical homogenization of the bath by argon purging.4.Attaining the lifting Temperature of the steel to maintain the desired super heat.

Process-Vacuum evacuation of main chamber.-Steel is raising in to lower vessel equivalent to Ferro static pressure.-Circulation effect is produced by bubbling Ar in the inlet snorkel.-Dissolved gasses and Ar released into the vacuum.-Steel accelerates through the inlet snorkel ( 3 1.5m/sec or 3 1mt/min).-Steel returns to ladle through 2 chamber vacuum-lock and alloy chute.-Temperature loss is low (RH-vessel preheated).
Advantages:-Shortening of the primary metallurgy process short treatment -> high availability.-Achievable metallurgical results: ̴ 1.5 ppm H, ̴15 ppm C, ̴ 1 ppm O-High alloy recovery yields.- Homogenization, improved cleanliness.
