Basic technical requirements
Lime tends to have low sulfur and phosphorus contents. It is used for fast slag melting, short smelting time, desulphurization and dephosphorization, with impressive effects. As lime has commendable activity and high dephosphorization rate, it is able to reduce lime dosage and steel slag production, thereby improving the recovery rate of molten steel to reduce the heat loss in the furnace. Hence, the scrap ratio tends to be low, thus enhancing smelting production.
